[QUOTE="Justin Garrett, post: 8659379, member: 675758"] I'm working on a similar project now. I have a FIx 82 and the Vxi 1000/5 AMP in a 2015 Honda Accord Ex-L. One thing I wlll tell you is that what I have sounds good, but there is a high-pass filter that is part of the factroy system that cuts off the low bass. In mine it is before the amp and after the radio. In yours it might be IN the Radio, not sure. I found a video on the internet that let me cut the filter off from a hidden software menu (which then resets every time you turn off the car) and flattens the EQ. Man it sounds so much better. I have a JL 12W6v3 in a custom box and even the Fix cannot restore the missing low end. It sounds good, but the part of the bass you feel is missing. When I flatten the EQ it makes an audible difference. Now I do it every time I drive. bottom line, your friend is right, you would need something that takes away the factory EQ and time alignment. But, my personal experience, and I'm not an expert, is that the information deleted by the high pass filter is just gone and you cant get it back. If you do consider swapping the head unit, you might want to check this out on eBay: Honda Accord 2013-2017 (9th Gen) Stereo install Kit. In my case I have learned that if I can tap the signal prior to the factory amp in my car I can get a clean signal, so I am going to try to keep the factory radio. But talk to me in 3 months I might change my mind. [/QUOTE]
