Default What kind of sound system?

I just aquired an accord, and i was woundering what kind of systems people are runnin in them. and also does anyone now how much of a hassle it is to replace alternators? becuase with my other cars there was alot more room in under the hood. the system thats goin from my old car to the accord will suck way to much juice compared to what it can put out.

accord alternators are easy to service, right on the front of the motor towards the top...

96 Accord EX Sedan

Headunit--> Pioneer DEH-3300
Speakers--> Pioneer 6 1/2's and 6 x 9's, stock tweeters
Sub--> JL 10W3D4V2 wired @ 8 ohms in a Q-Logic box
Amp--> Nitro 1000 watt 2 channel

The amps cheap but pushed the 12W7 I had pretty damn good. My system is set up to add JUUUUUUUST a touch of bass to make evrythinn sound awesome.
One of the best souding overall setups I've ever had (which isn't a whole lot, aside from the W7, but that was wayy too much).

Ive got a Panasonic head unit.My Pioneer was stolen.2 mtx speaker in the door.don't remember what size they were but I had to take the first set i bought back and exchange them for smaller onesMTX 6x9s in the rear deck.An Orion 6channel Amp and a Orion 12'sub in the back in a Q-logic box.

My system isn't overpowering but it sounds really good I get compliments all the time.Nothing rattles.

Eclipse 5504 head unit, Precision Power EQP wit Ipod hooked to auxiliary input, MB Quart 6.5'' reference series coax with Music-comp crossovers, JL Audio 300/4, JL Audio 13.5" W1 Sub in ported enclosure.

By far the best setup I have ever had in my Accord. It matches the acoustics of the car very nicely. It will hit extremely hard if you want it to, which I hardly ever do. I never have the sub turned up more than halfway, but it is there if I want it. I built this system for clarity more than anything.

Umm... do you mean 6.5's? Or did you do custom paneling to add 6x9's in the door? Even if I could do it, I sure wouldn't want 6x9's all the way around.

deck: alpine cda9827
fronts: Memphis m-class 6.5"
rears: stock, very soon to be memphis m-class 6x9's
sub: two 12" Pyle 1000W bluewaves
amp: 1000Wx2 PLA2670 pyle

all in a 5th gen accord coupe
it sounds pretty good, the memphis speakers have really good clarity, although i think i might switch to one good 12" to save trunk space
