Quick question: the Accord EXL comes with a factory 270 watt speaker system, correct? I have to admit that my factory audio system is badass (i'm no audiophile), and it's a hell of a lot better than the factory Bose system in my mom's Tahoe.
I was sure its 180watt not 270. Mine is terrible.
Bose in my I30 was worlds better than this

Well, I found some more specs from Honda's website, and according to it, the EX has a 120 watt system, so I don't know what the EXL would have.

I would consider myself an audiophile -- and honestly, the stock stereo on my EX is not half bad. I've heard aftermarket systems that are worse than our stock systems. The midrange could be cleaner, and bass a little tighter...but it works as my DD.
If the EX has a 120W system I would assume the EXL is the same.

^I always thought that until I upgraded it. I only spent about $500.00 and it is sooo much better. Im sure it could be much better than what it is now if I would get a sub and amp my speaker, but I cant because of my parents.

I guess he has money to burn. I'd rather waste my money on parts that actually make my car faster, hookers, and drugs. Fucking amateurs. :

Yeah, I'm completely fine with my system; I listen to mainly hard rock and classic rock, so I'd rather not fork out the hundreds of dollars on subwoofers and stuff. The only problem I have with my factory audio system right now is that the front door panels rattle a little, and the front door speakers distort faster than the tweeters and deck speakers at higher volumes.

I will probably replace my OEM speakers one day....but thats about it. When I bought this car I decided it was going to be a performance oriented car...not a club on wheels. My last car had a 15" sub in the trunk that could induce vertigo....not only do you lose your trunk....well made audio gear is HEAVY. I sure my old sub with the MDF enclosure weighed 100lbs.

I'm not buying a sub
maybe eventually if the bass isn't enough for me

What size would you recommend I run for the power cable so that I can run only one? What size if I run two wires?
Unless you're running huge power for an SPL system, you only need one run of power cable. I can't tell you what size power cable to run if I don't know the total current draw of your amplifiers. Answer that question first and then I can answer yours.
I am going to be running:
1x Infinity 475a (90w RMS x 4 @ 2ohm) reccomends 4 gauge wire
2x Infinity 60.9CS
2x Infinity 69.29I
At most in the future I would upgrade to a 400w RMS amp with a Kappa 12" subwoofer and nothing more.
I will run one wire, and a distribution thing to send to each amp.

How do these last 5 posts have anything to do with Q & A? Could you guys post this kind of stuff somewhere else?

Asim, I asked for the current draw of the amps you plan on running. I'm not going to start looking up specs of model numbers.
+1 to what Z said. What the fuck is that bullshit?

I have a question... I have 2 12 inch subs hooked up to a RF amp, it seems that 1 sub hits harder than the other why is that?

How difficult is it to remove the rear seats? Because id like to custom a fiberglass/CF panel for the sub to point into the car.
Also if anyone knows of anyone else who has done this id like to see pics of the finished product

That's not enough information Billy. Are these the same subs, and you just got a 2nd sub and added it? Is the dual sub enclosure built to the same spec as the single sub enclosure? How is the amp wired? These are all things that could make a difference. In theory,
all things being equal
, you should have a +3 dB increase in output from your subwoofers.

It's actually pretty easy. I think it's like 2 bolts that holds your seat back in the sedan. The coupe shouldn't be much harder to remote. Take a look at the exploded picture of your back seat on a site like hondaautomotiveparts or something. That might help you gain a better understanding of how everything is assembled.

I really could use an aftermarket radio, I am fucking sick of the terrible settings on the OEM radio. The two things that I want are 5/6 pre amp outputs and hd radio capable, but preferably built in. Ive been looking at the jvc kd-r800 and alpine cda-9884. Do you have any recommendations?

Alpine over JVC. There are really only 2 popular aftermarket receivers that I would use. Alpine and Eclipse. Eclipse head units are a bit over complicated. My MECP teacher, who is a MECP master installer, admitted that he had trouble setting the clock on his Eclipse h/u. Of course, he's a bit old school, so it could be the fact that he's not as up to date on newer technology.
