When you say deck do you mean CD Player?

isn't the rsx stereo bigger than the panel for the integra? i'm sure the acura dealer can figure something out, though.

Honestly, this should be moved to the Audio forum.

I believe they use similar wiring harnesses. You should be able to wire it up no problems. The biggest problem I would worry about is how are you going to mount it.

There should be a way to install a cd player into your car... All the aftermarket cd players are all different sizes and ****... there's aren't any mades for a particular model of automobile. Just take it to a stereo shop and ask how much install will be...

IMO, the time and effort to install this radio into your dash will be more than the cost of a nice aftermarket cd play. If you want both tape and cd, there are other options than just the RSX head unit.

If he already has one... then it'd be the same cost to install an aftermarket head unit.

anyone know what the wattage on the RSX deck is and what the wattage on a Integra cd deck is? I would have to guess that the integra deck is 12watts or so, its pretty weak. Hopefully the RSX deck isnt like that at all.

If it's Bose it might be running different level resistance. Bose systems, if I remember right, run 8 ohms and other systems run 4 or 2 ohms.

To have it run you need BOSE Amp and Bose speakers. They are low Ohm rating like 1 or 2 ohm. The sound on Standard 4ohm speakers really low and powerless. You also need and harness plug for the amp and deck. The rest is easy wiring with your helms manual for RSx-S and your integra.

I knew the ohm load was different, but I couldn't remember which way it went.
