Hey guys and gals,

I am the proud owner of a Black on Black '06 TSX 5AT... I picked it up about 3 weeks ago and have been loving it!

However...

There's one problem I think will take a it of elbow grease, time, and cash to fix though, and that's the Stereo... It, for lack of a better word, SUCKS...

What's the best way to add a good amp to the stock setup? I'm worried that if I add a couple of amplifiers, that SOMETHING (Voice activated navigation, Bluetooth phone, etc) won't work correctly anymore...

I'd love to swap out all of the speakers in this car, and get a 40 - 60 Watt RMS amp for all of the internal speakers, and throw a 200 Watt RMS Sub in the trunk...

Do I assume that I can't get at actual RCA outputs from the Stereo? Is there a drop in replacement for the current head unit amp? Do I need to install line level converters and just re-cable the speakers?

There's so little info out there on the '06 Stereo setup that I'm a little worried... I don't want to be the 1st trying to mod the stereo in my car because, frankly, I'm not that good of an installer! hahah =)

Thanks for any help!
Ricky

 

Many people have modded the factory stereo set-up,

If you are concerned about the 06 changes the best first thing to do is buy the Helm manual for the 06.

I am confident that you can grab the preamp outs on the HU and retain Bluetooth.

Where are you geographically?

 

I'm located in Austin, TX...

 

Unfortunately no Metra kit for OEM opening. Others have put aftermarket stereo in the storage bin.

 

In Austin, I believe Custom Sounds can do what you need...
