#533 of 539 upgrade in dash deck by rsandoval Sep 16, 2009 (4:39 pm)
I replaced the four speakers on the 07 Accord coupe I bought new. Very happy with the results. The analog fm radio reception is still awful, but when its right, I'm smiling. I will upgrade the stock 6CD /changer/ receiver to an Alpine 9887 in a couple of months. For me its worth the $$$ and the wait.

Replying to: gpb59 (Sep 17, 2009 4:30 am) If I remember correctly, the high end 08 V6 Accords with leather seats and stuff like that offer the OE dash deck with Ipod connection. Dunno about '10.
#536 of 539 Re: 2008 Accord EX-L radio quality poor [musilr] by mariod Oct 05, 2009 (11:08 am)
Replying to: musilr (Sep 14, 2009 6:58 pm) I have a 2009 Accord EX and yes the radio SUCKS!!! The Ipod and CD sound ok. I think when you turn the volume up the sound on the radio begins to go flat... But it's not as bad with the CD or Ipod in...   Any way to override this?   I had an old bose system in my home that did that too.
#537 of 539 2004 Accord Speaker Upgrade Question by atlman7 Nov 02, 2009 (7:20 am)
I have a 2004 EX-L Navi and have been thinking about upgrading the front door and read deck speakers. The OE radio isn't the best and can't be replaced, and I don't want to add an amplifier. Would upgrading the speakers be a waste of money? Replies to this message: v8growl (Nov 05, 2009 10:49 am) mrbill1957 (Nov 05, 2009 2:46 pm)

Replying to: atlman7 (Nov 02, 2009 7:20 am) Yes, you can improve the sound quality by upgrading your speakers. No, it won't sound like a Bose surround sound system, but, to achieve an improvement over the stock system is possible. I have done it with other cars, and am now thinking about doing the door speakers on my 08 Accord Coupe. Go to: www.crutchfield.com This is a privately owned company that has been in the audio and TV business for over 40 years. They have outstanding customer service and a great knowledge base for car audio, as well as other products. Calling them will and asking for help for your particular car will get you the assistance you need. They will be able to recommend a simple speaker upgrade without having to change anything else. Again, you're not going to get a Bose system quality when you are done. Just a better sounding system than what you had. So, for you pundits out there who may be looking at this negatively because we are not putting 1000 watt amps and huge sub woofers in the car so we can do mind blowing and glass breaking music listening experiences.......that is NOT the intended purpose here. Only to just get a somewhat better sound quality than the factory basic systems provide. Take care and you will appreciate the Crutchfield experience. NO, I don't work for them. I have just used them many times over the years.

Replying to: atlman7 (Nov 02, 2009 7:20 am) I also have an 2004 EX-L Navi and I tried a rear speaker only upgrade. I was very disappointed with the results. I purchased a "better" grade of Alpine speakers, not sure what the model number was, but if I recall, it was 2nd from the top of the Alpine lineup. What I ended up with was a very tinny sound with very little base. I only used them for a day before I removed them and re installed the OEMs. I did not try any other brands, or did I try a front and rear upgrade. I also didn't try any other upgrades to the OEM sound system.   I've been tempted on going to a sound shop to see what they have been doing to Accords, maybe I just tried the wrong speaker.   If you do try an upgrade, please post your results.   Mrbill
