6 or 8 speakers?

[baboo]

how many speakers does the Euro sound system has? :confused:

Brochure said 6. but I found 2 tweeters, 2 on the front door, 2 on the rear door, and 2 on the shelf. that's 8 in total.

But I reckon honda haven't put the speakers in on the rear doors.

Your Euro got speakers in the rear doors?

[PERTH_EURO]

I never even noticed the rear speaker "pods" until it was pointed out to me by a freind. To be honest I didnt actually see if there was speakers in there tho

[Slugoid]

Yeah, there's no rear speakers in the rear pods.

It's 6 speakers (2X tweeters, 2X splits, 2X 6X9's). But I find it misleading that the tweeters are counted as speakers. Doesn't bother me too much, as I don't sit in the back seat much, but it would be nice if they added speakers there.

[EuroAccord13]

I was thinking of doing a mild upgrade to the system.. now I wonder if I could just add a pair of 6inch speakers to the rear door pods...

[euro77]

yeah, the rear door speaker pod is empty. it is there for the Acura TSX (8 speaker system). Too bad Australian version doesn't get 8 speaker system. Neverthelles, like slugoid said, it doesn't make much difference. If you are into music, you'll upgrade them anyway.

[Type R Positive]

Are they 6"x9" in the back or smaller? They look like 5" x 8"s to me. I think that it is a great OEM system, but if I upgrade, I'll be going the whole way.

Alpine's new type X speakers and subs look soooo sweet. There the ones for me. It will be a fair while though, as the sound system is the last on my list of things to do.

[EuroAccord13]

So will it make a difference if I add a pair of speakers to the rear door pods?

[Bol]

More speakers doesn't mean a better sound system. Many quality setups only have front splits and a sub, so adding more speakers up front isnt likely to help out much.

[Type R Positive]

more speakers should make it louder, the more speaker surface area, the more SPL. Than again, it may not, just depends weather you use another amp or steal power from oem system.

[euro77]

it also depends on the quality of the speaker, and how much power you put through them.

In my opinion, rear speakers are just for rear fill, and unless you often have rear passengers (or you are kind to your rear passengers), I wouldn't spend any money upgrading/adding rear speakers.

[Usual Suspect]

when u upgrade the font splits, just chuck the oem ones in the back pods..simple...or buy some nasty ass cheap ones or some second hand ones or cheap co-axils.

I got my car back from its major install.

The speakers are so light, such small magnets im suprised how good they sound.
The basket on the fronts is plastic.

The rears are 6*9's and there is no speakers in the rear doors

I have however had eclipse 6.5 inch speakers fitted (with dynamat) in the back doors, and the 6*9's have been removed. There is no speakers in the back shelf at all now

The reason for this is that it provides some highs n mids for any rear passengers, without affecting the front stage as much as a set of 6*9 in the back shelf would.

Hey timbo, I'm so jealous! mmmmm Eclipse! Looks stonkin mate.

who did the work? Audioart? Looks like a top install. congrats!

Dynamat sound deadening would have to be the best investment for a sound system indeed.

[euro77]

Very nice installation!

[PERTH_EURO]

Thanks for the positive feedback guys

Alberts Myaree did the install. They have done a very very good job.

Was one small issue tho...... the eclipse amp had a minor issue. She is fried!!
Not sure if amp was fualty or if it happened at power up. At the end of the day Im getting another new eclipse (as I hadnt taken delivery of car) amp hard wired and installed.
I must stress that Alberts have done a really good job, and that there is not much more they could have done for re the issue.

Front stage sound freakin awesome !! NOw just to get those eclipse's crankin

[Type R Positive]

I know this is a silly question....... How much better than stock does she sound now??? Is it crystal clear and loud? I hope you enjoy it!

[PERTH_EURO]

Its hard to gauge the iprovement, but I am extremley happy with how it sounds now.

The Dynaudios absolutley crank.

Unfortunatley the whole boot install now has to come out as I was hit from behind while stationary yesterday :(

[Type R Positive]

Oh my god! was there much damage done??? (to your car, or the other driver?)

Sorry to hear about your bad luck.

[Rendezvous]

Does anyone know the brand of the stock sound system. Heard from somewhere that it was Alpine.

[Chris_F]

i think it's pioneer. I know my gf civic came stock with pioneer branded speakers?

[JaCe]

I also heard it was Alpine (for both Accord and Civic).

[REV888]

There are 6 speaks in the Euro.

The 2 rear doors speakers are an option when you purchase your car.

[EuroDude]

Are the speakers wires already there in the rear doors?
Or do you have to route wires yourself?

Not sure good question

[ZYL11A]

Im pretty sure that its BOSE

[MiSloVic]

i'm not too sure it is a bose unit, though.. at least, it does not sound like one. and honda would love to advertise 'BOSE' on it, if it is.

[aaronng]

I suspect Alpine because Alpine loves to NOT include line outs or line ins with their OEM headunits. LOL
