Brand names

Are there any big brand name companies making parts for TSX that acura just rebadges? For example, are the wheels, the speakers, or the nav really acura? Im not sure but ive heard the wheels are not acura and the nav is alpine or something but its all hazy in my memory and so i think i might have dreamt it...

I personally dislike MB Quart (normally too "bright" or "piercing"). But others love them.

Honda -- they make the entire car and Acura rebadges it.

Agreed. A little too sharp on the sound.
I installed CDT's on my last system. Had a nice soft tone to them. But i could hear the highs very clean still.

Sport Shift (shifter, linkage, trim) is by Teleflex (www.teleflex.com).

I know this cause I work for Teleflex and the TSX is my company car.

In that case I'm very disappointed with Panasonic for making and supplying Honda/Acura with such a shitty headunit.
