[QUOTE="ladysmanfelpz, post: 8429684, member: 642267"] Title. Have a 07 accord coupe. What I have now is only an iSimple connect for blutooth connectivity and some moderate sound dampening. Overall sounds great for a stock system, but really need an EQ to make it shine. My progress so far. [IMG]http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/w367/Bryan_DeFelice/IMG_1455.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/w367/Bryan_DeFelice/IMG_1486.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/w367/Bryan_DeFelice/IMG_1485.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/w367/Bryan_DeFelice/IMG_1484.jpg[/IMG] My first thoughts were MS-8. Fairly simple install and has an auto-eq so its one and done. Only thing is it only pushes deck power (18 watts), but with eq and active crossover and heavy sound deadening (I plan to do full car with MLV soon) should sound fine.
