2011 Euro CU2 Sound System Wattage & Upgrade Help + issue with Bluetooth system

[WeUpperEchelon]

Sorry guys I posted this into the wrong category before, admins feel free to delete this post from the "Accord" section...

Hello Everyone! Just wondering if anyone here can help me...

I'm a music producer so play a lot of music (loudly...haha) very regularly...the stock system in the Accord Euro Lux CU2 MY11 is fantastic considering it comes with it...only issue is I kinda sorta maybe blew all the door speakers and the tweeters seem to be on their way out too haha...

I intend to replace all 4 door speakers (with front tweeters) at a minimum plus the parcel shelf speakers (which are still going ok...for now), but I want to do so without making any changes to the head unit, adding new amps or anything like that.

My question is, does anyone here know the wattages & dimensions of the door/parcel shelf speakers? All I can find is the panasonic amp running all 10 speakers outputs 415watts, and the door/parcel speakers are made entirely of plastic (which doesn't help the quality of their sound either).

If anyone could list the wattages of each speaker (and make if it's known) that would be SUPER helpful as I'd like to ideally find a direct swap in wattage but of better build quality..

I mean just out of curiosity, how easy is it to add an AMP into the equation (say to use the panasonic just for the (or a replacement) sub, and to add a new amp for the 6 replacement speakers?, or the other way around if better? I'll probably pay someone to install it in the end but I've set up multiple speaker/amp/sub systems in all my previous cars so if I could do it myself in this one it'd be preferred.

Also very interestingly enough, my blutooth phone system only seems to come out through the tweeters and dash speaker (seemed a lot louder and fuller inititally before front door speakers went), so just so I know, phone calls never go thru the parcel shelf, rear doors or sub? Just the front 2 speakers, tweeters and shelf? Would make sense as 10 speakers for a phone call would be overkill but just wanna confirm it haha

Thanks again I know this is a lot to read! Any help is greatly appreciated!

If you don't want to install an amp, it is important that your replacement speakers have high sensitivity (92db/w or higher). I used Polk Audio on my previous car and the sound was quite good.
This somewhat limit speaker choice, but if you were to install an amp, you can use less sensitive speakers (88db/w) and still sound good (obviously this depends on the speakers).

Thank you for that I will look out for it. That's definitely something I would of missed!

Also for anyone who is interested...I did some additional research via "Acura TSX CU2 10 Speaker Sound" and found when most people did speaker swaps on the doors they used between 40-50Watts

So by my estimates (please someone correct me if I'm wrong), the 415watt panasonic amp pumping to a total of 8 channels in the CU2 is made up of 50watts per door/parcel speaker, 100watts to the sub, and the remaining 15watts for the tweeters/dash speaker (probably thru the same channel the front door speakers are on).

So all in all, High Sensitivity speakers in the 40-50watt range, I mean the ideal situation would be to re-build the whole sound system but I wanna conserve boot space, money and keep it at a basic level as I plan to sell it in the near future (to get a slightly newer CU2 with lower Ks, then I will go crazy!)

Also, I contacted Honda Australia for the actual specs, they said call the dealer the will know, call the local dealer's service department and get bounced around to no avail...speaking to my friend who is an ex-employee of a dealer under the same umbrella (but not Honda specifically) he told me none of the people trained through that organisation have any knowledge of the electrical side of the cars so asking them is a waste of time haha...and that that's the way in the car industry in general.

Duly noted, ask a forum or google, never a mechanic lol

Couple of options I'm looking at. Just to confirm, RMS refers to the rated wattage of a single speaker? They're sold in pairs but they don't make this stuff very clear, sorry for my ignorance haha...

If the listed RMS is for each individual speaker;

Sony XS FB163E - 45Watts - 91db Sensitivity - $59

Sony XSXB160 - 55Watts - 90 Sensitivity - $79
https://www.jbhifi.com.au/gps-car-au...peaker/806129/

If the listed RMS is for the pair of speakers;

Kicker CS654 - 100 Watts - 90db - $109
https://www.jbhifi.com.au/gps-car-au...eakers/398153/

Kicker KSC654 - 100Watts - 90db - $169
https://www.jbhifi.com.au/gps-car-au...eakers/576070/

Cadence 60.3DS - 85watts - 93db - $129
