[QUOTE="tanpatnode, post: 8011775, member: 649089"] Congratulations on catching the audio bug! As far as powering aftermarket speakers it really depends on the speaker some speakers can take 100w plus and other take only 50w, you're going to better off choosing one with less RMS watts because you'll get more sound of it. If you have the money even spending the $100 for a head unit is so worth it, more like 22watts per channel instead of whatever the stock units output. Also cleaner sound. If you're going to replace the rears don't expect a dramatic sound improvement because the bad sound of the fronts are going to take over but at least they won't be blown. I personally found that the 3 way Alpine Type R 6x9's sounded great IMO. I do have 75 watts running to them so it might be different off of HU power but none the less they have potential. I am not sure of the price though. Another think to check would be the classified on here, great source of variety and sweet prices on killer equipment. I have installed a few full setups in Accords specifically the 99 which I believe is the same setup. Super easy and I'd be glad to help you with the install process. You shouldn't have a problem.
