Hello and thank you.
I have been lurking on here for about a month or so now. I have a 2013 accord 4dr lx. I have about 6k miles on it and was ready to upgrade the sound system. Thanks t you all here I already knew in advance to unhook the ANC module. I ran a power cable through the firewall where the plug was above the fuse box and there are pictures around this site that helped with all that.
I looked at what people were using for speakers and MY main goal was to run everything from stock headunit. No amp for the mids and highs. I looked at focal, Polks, MB quarts, kicker and fosgate. Now I am 37 years old but I still like to feel that bass and have a good sound. I ended up chatting with a rep from crutchfield. Told him what I wanted and they suggested the Rockford Fosgate r165s seperates for the front and the kicker cs654 for the back. So for the price I said what the heck Ill give it a shot.
With the info on the forums here i ordered the sail panels for the tweeters and had the door panels off in 10 minutes. I replaced the fronts first along with some sound deadening matering in the front doors. This made a huge difference. The RF set in the front is really loud. I wish it had more mids and a warmer sound but for the price I am not complaining.
If it wasnt for a rattle on the rear decklid I probably would not of changed the rear speakers out. But since I would putting some dynamat back there I replaced the back speakers with the kickers from crutchfield. This wasnt too hard but took a little more time. Again, Thanks to the forum I knew about removing the bottom seat, side cushions, rear pillars and all the steps to get there...
While I was in the garage I upgraded from a 8 awg wire to a 4 awg power wire for my new amp for the subs. THe Amp will be here tuesday and is a Sundown audio saz1000d. Subs are 2 sundown audio SA 10 d4 subs. THis should really round of the system nicely. MAybe a little overkill on the subs.. but I can always turn them down.
So far I am pretty pleased. To do over again I would probably of gotten a little nicer set of front speakers and skipped the rears. But I highly suggest adding some dound deading material to the tunk area above the trunk liner and below the deck at least. For the trunk i used peel and seal from lowes. Worked really well. like 17 bucks a roll... I was getting a lot of vibration from my rear decklid around 60hz and adding all the sound deadening material did take care of that for now. So all in all I am happy with the upgrades. It is really loud and the highs are much crisper. Thank you to all who have made posts on here. it was a huge help.
