mr tl

my installer told me that the bose system is very tight. meaning, you can just change little parts of it. i asked about amping, and he said that it might create new problems. should i amp the factory speakers or not? if i do, its going to be an alpine v12. will i get any other problems? before or after factory amp?

I'm gonna say....TO AMP!

Guest

I'm agree, go for it.

mr tl

are you guys sure? will i get any PROBLEMS????

have YOU guys done it? what kind of amp? any probs?

Guest

Correct me if I am wrong, but probably the most bang for the buck as well as gratifying upgrade to a "Stock" stereo is the additon of a good Sub/Amp combo (in reasonable spec w/stock system: i.e. 100-200watt amp with 10-12" sub for CL/TL's) I know this has made a huge difference for me http://24.128.71.51/album/stereo.htm

As far as amping the stock system speakers, I am under the impression they are of questionable quality and rather low impedance (1-OHM) Much lower than traditional audio equipment.

Are we talking amping the STOCK speakers here? If so, I don't recommend it, but it'll work. You won't get great quality sound out of it cuz of the cheesey speakers that are in the car. I would get aftermarket speakers too. Just my opinion though.

mr tl

thanks guys!

thanks what i wanted to hear. i guess i'll look for speakers, if anything.

uh oh, new post?

mr tl

oh yeah street, factory spkrs

Guest

yeah you definitely have to get new speakers. The factory honda ones are usually paper cones that will probably not hold up if you amp them.

The OEM spkrs suck! Cheapest paper and cloth! No wonder they sound so flat! Glad I'm replacing mine!

bahreeTL

definitely get new speakers if you're gonna amp.
it's like fat girls that where tight clothing...only where tight clothing if you got something to show!

Guest

the oem speakers are 1 ohm so if you do amp the make sure your amp is that stable or you will blow it

haha98

I'd amp now till the factory speakers blow, then i;d replace them. My factory speakers worked well amped, till they blew, that's when i replaced them..
