Update, finished the car, sounds SICK, the Eclipse CD5030 is amazing. I'll post build pictures soon. Re-wired the car with Rockford-Fosgate 16gauge wire put some RF speakers in the back doors to match the front ones, all I can say is wow Thx for the help all.

Just an update, I went with the eclipse 5030, it had the best pre-amp outputs out of all of them, and the reviews on the SQ are amazing. If it's not so good i'll send it back. As for the 800PRS, according to pioneer who put out an official statement that the premier line is being taken away...

I was trying to get a Pioneer 800PRS, but no luck everywhere is sold out and they are discontinued; BOOOO! I was wondering what head units out there are as good or better then the 800PRS?? My list so far is; Alpine CDA-9887, Eclipse CD5030, Blaupunkt Bremen MP78, or Kenwood DC-X993. I'm...

So an update, So my friends (who know what they are doing) took apart my car, and it took a LONG time to fix the crap wiring job. Long story short the crap wiring job fried my factory amp!! and one of the amps the shop gave me might be bad too! So I'm getting a new head unit to keep the costs...

I have two component speakers in the front with an RMS of 75 and in the rear doors I have co-axial speakers with an RMS of 50, do I need to have speakers that have the same RMS; as in have them balanced? My amp in the back puts out 75watts on 4 channels. Or would it be better if I put co-axial...

I'm willing to put money into it, budget is fine. I've heard a lot of good things about alpine. With the pre-amp outputs, I thought I needed one for every pair of speakers or can multiple speakers go into one output?? I don't know anything about this stuff if you didn't guess by now. Also, with...

I’m looking into getting a separate head unit for my aftermarket stereo; my factory H/U is all integrated and doesn’t work well with aftermarket parts. My system is all Memphis. I have a 6.5inch component speakers in each door (rms 75), two 1.5inch tweeters in the front, two 6.9inch speakers...

Just an update, Called JL and Acura, they are not totally sure what the cause might be, but they told me to check the wiring as a first step and then get back to them. So I had a friend of mine who knows about all this look at it; he said it was the worst wiring job he had ever seen. Splitters...

well the bose speakers are gone (forgive me i know nothing about car electronics; hence i might leave out important info by mistake) the whole system is now Memphis car audio, there are 6-speakers, 2-tweeters, 2 subs and 2 amps. I'll look into this signal summing thing, Acura recommended P.A.C...

I called acura, a few local dealers, they have yet to get back to me. The two amps in my trunk are hooked up to the subs and speakers, one for the subs and one for the speakers. 2 12' inch subs and 6 speakers 2 tweeters.

Hello all, So I put a new sound system in my 2005 Acura-RL, and have had lots of problems. It started by sounding scratchy, sounded like it was underwater, lots of feedback, etc.....So the place took it in for a few days and finally found out the problem (according to them), is the factory Bose...
