[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7624507, member: 576029"] i bought my 2001 Accord specifically to build a system in it. and it is a wonderful platform. many options, no CAN BUS to worry about, no premium system interfaces, just lots of space. i have 6.5's and 4's flush in the kicks, two IB 12's, hell, just last week i had 10 speakers recessed, mounted, and wired up front (dash, apillars, kick floor, side kick, doors) - i was testing and experimenting with soundstage variations. at 160k mi. it is in great shape, runs and drives perfect, has never been in the shop for a failure, and the VTEC V6 is peppy enough to keep me satisfied, yet the ride is quiet. it does everything I want a car to do and seats four adults. i even like the styling. i will try for 300k mi. too many customizations and it's paid off. but seriously, baggin on a guys car is childish. life takes us in all directions. i'll never judge someone because of their car not being expensive or perfect. I'll say this about Accords. In retrospect, instead of the 2001, i realized i should have gotten a 1997, maybe even a 97 wagon. the reason? i'm pretty sure i can fit a 10" under the center of the dash, along with 3-way kicks. the entire center console is mostly empty since the A/C controls are high on the dash.
