its quite nice for a standard unit.

I don't know if it has RCA inputs though and if not you are gonna find it difficult to hook up alpine amp(s).

There is no stereo upgrade for integra afaik.

You will need a head unit that has RCA out. If you are going to run amps, as far as I’m aware the standard head unit would not have these. If you intend to buy high end speakers and amps, I would recommend getting a head unit to match.

My experience with the high end audio equipment that you can upgrade to is that you will find it cheaper to get the items aftermarket & installed. Plus this way you are able to choose component that suite you’re tasted in sound & music.

Hope that helps.

You kept your head system stock or you mean your head unit only? Because the stock speakers are terrible, dont know if the stand head unit on type s have arc outputs thats the only thing

It cant be that hard to pull out the deck and have a look to see if its got outputs. I reckon the Type S and new CRV sport head unit is pretty good (same deck). Plays MP3s and looks cool too!

Nup no rca output.. had to piggy back mine from rear speakers... still nice though

**vupham** · 16-08-2005 11:16 AM

yah thought so it wouldnt have rca outputs, the cheapest way is properly just put in aftermarket speakers, but since i spent quite abit on an amp and speakers, need to replace the head unit. the stock head unit is nice thats for sure, 4 of my friends wanted to buy it when i told them i was gonna replace it lol how much should i sell for?
