I plan on keeping the stock speakers, I am with out any deck because my stock one does not have a faceplate, so I figure it would be smarter to get a quality/cheap aftermarket deck instead of paying the same for a honda face plate. Here is a link to it on best buy.

I have searched the model # on ebay (great way to search) and many poped up from around 115 w/ out shipping. My cousin is really into audio and electronics, so he will be helping me install it. For decent sound with stock speakers, is this a good deck?

 

any suggestion for about $150 with shipping?

 

Pioneer is great! I have an old deck similiar to the one you're looking at. Still works great after like 3 years of hard use, no skipping and no problems at all! Now I've bought another pioneer deck, a higher end one and am happy as I could ever be

 

If you're willing to spend a bit more, buy a Pioneer that supports MP3. It's really nice being able to fit 7-10 full length albums on one CD.

I have the Pioneer 7600MP and am very happy with it.

I will look into that. I can't remeber the site, it was thezeb I think. But it had quite low prices on decks. I think I will be ordering from there. Like I said, my cousin can install in easy, but is there anything else that I need to get for the finished product?

 

I heard that there is something that goes around an aftermarket deck that you need to get, I would like to get this ahead of time so I can have a completed product right away.

 

cant go wrong with pioneer. the eeq (3 band parametric) is one of the best built in eq's on decks in that price range. never had a pioneer crap out on me.

subwoofer control is very nice. id spend a little more for one that will work with a wireless remote ( if that one doesnt already ) .

stock speakers are always better then you think, stock decks are what make them sounds crappy.

 

I actually decided to step it up a notch and get a more expensive pioneer deck. Good to know that the stock speakers will be decent. It is really wierd with the decks I looked at, the 2600-4600 range all look nearly exactly the same, exept the 4600 is flater (volume is flat). I am going to go with the DEH-P4600MP, found one for only 89$ on ebay, compared to 180 at bestbuy. Mp3 capabilities, can't wait (2 days till auction is over).

 

I use the 4600 and it sounds great on stock speakers

 

i got the pioneer DEH-P840MP.... there is an updated model of this one (since mine is about 2 and a half years old or so...) but its stillin runnin strong and its the best damn cd player ive ever had. pioneer gets the big thumbs up from me

 

need wiring harness, be sure to get the right one for your car
