    Replacement bass speakers + A pillar trim

    Hey guys

    my 09 CU2 euro has a blown left speaker

    its actually the third speaker thats blown since i got the car. the first was the same one. The second was the driver side.
    Both time it was bass

    and before you ask, no i only have it set to +3 in the settings for bass and dont pump it up higher than 13vol

    Basically i THINK its the passenger side bass speaker because i hear weird fart noise/distortion when there is bass pumping

    it just went out of warranty so was just wondering whats the cheapest and easiest way to replace it and what kind of speaker to look for cause i got no clue about audio


    On another note. The exterior trim on the driver side A pillar has popped out. i have no idea how, i just noticed it recently. it wont go back in. Maybe someone tried to rip it off to stick a coat hanger in?
    Is there a way to lock it back in place?

    Thanks

    I do not have a CU2 so my knowledge is very limited.
    I believe the cu2 has a tweeter, midrange driver (on the front doors and rear shelf) and also a subwoofer.
    If a lot of bass came out of the midrange driver, is it possible that the subwoofer signal was sent to the mid range driver? Maybe good to check the setting on the audio console.
    Previously, did you replace the blown mid range driver with original Honda speaker? I m thinking whether a more sensitive speaker like Polk audio db651 would be better, but I'm not to sure on the crossover configuration of this mid range driver with the tweeter on the dash. They are usually designed (crossover) as a pair (midrange and tweeter).

    It seems like a bad batch of speakers for the 2009 accord. Maybe ask if they would replace it for free.

    Exterior A trim should be fixed via recall

    You should see them and have a chat. They probably won't do it for free but should give you a discount.
    If Jasemas is right, the A pillar should be fixed for free.

    Fredoops is right, if you need to pay for the replacement, it's a good idea to think about an upgrade (if you like your music).
    From what I learnt, if you don't want to install an amp, you need to look for speakers with high sensitivity (92db/W). One brand I used for my other car (lancer) is Polk audio db651 and will cost approx $120 for a pair. I'm not sure of the fit (depth?) to the cl9 though?

    Ill have to ask them if its free or not. I really want to avoid having to do research on speakers and spend 2 hrs pulling apart my door trim to wire some speakers in, so rather just turn the bass down :P

    regarding the A pillar exterior trim, whats the reason they would fix it for free? its out of warranty....

    Im going to have to take it in anyway for that airbag recall, ill ask them then
