No.

If you're installing subs or what not you'll want to upgrade the stock setup, it won't sound near as good.

Most newer sub amps have line inputs with some funky looking connector that's generally included. At least that's how it was with my Infinity's. I've had to use them once when my after market deck died.

I didn't say it wouldn't work, I just said it won't sound as good. Plugging an aftermarket head unit up changes the quality instantly. A stock HU in a 10+ year old accord is not meant to handle a subwoofer.
