What is the sound system in the CU2? 8th Gen Accord Euro? Euro Luxury?

i'd love to get focal but i hear a system like that would cost as much as the car itself!!

Yeh thats if you want toptop shit.

Go for med - med high products in their range. Paid $335 for last years top model focal splits. Shits all over my Type Rs from Alpine.

Cool will do..did you change only a pair of speaker or did you add more focal ones to the system?

And how do they rate compared to the Bose if yo have heard them in a Mazda etc?

I have heard the Mazads sound system. Its very good for a stock system. I thought my work mate had a sub, just turned out a really good stock system lol in her Mazda 3

The Focals are better, clarity, sound definition and handles the big amp power nicely. Gets to a point where I can entertain my whole road (small road only 9 houses) from my car on approx 60% power from head unit. No distortion on big bass or high pitch sounds.

Aftermarket > Factory Supplied

I changed everything, wiring/speakers/sub/amp/headunit. Replaced the stock ones with Aftermarket. Easy to do. It was my 1st audio install as well.

Honestly the hardest part was running 4gauge wiring from battery to amp.

Rest was easy as pie. Everything is colour matched and labelled so its really hard to fk up. Just plug here plug there, screw here hide wire there.

You are making me jealous and tempted as the same time and I dont even have the car !! lol

Is it an expensive setup what you did? Range of price perhaps?

Thx for the info mate ..cheers

Can't say that about their sound insulation though. Trade offs I guess lol.

I spent 2k and 2 days, 1 day of just watching YouTube videos how to do it.

You can do it on the cheap and still be aokay i guess. Descent sony/kenwood/Pioneer system could be done for under $800. Still be waaaaay better then your stock.

Little bro running Sony - Amp, Sub, Headunit and Pioneer 4 Way 6x9 + splits up front. Set him back $450(xmas sale). Its deafening to have all the windows up. This is still better then the mazad's system.

His head unit also supports Bluetooth (steam music + calls from his phone).

If i were you, I'd wait for the end of financial year sale, JBHIFI were selling borderline descent subs and amps for $60 ea.
