[QUOTE="Grevious, post: 8845201, member: 689060"] Recently purchased a 2023 Accord Hybrid Sport L. Has the 180W "8" speaker audio (its really 4 component speakers). I found the sound to be shockingly anemic. It is flat, there are parts of music I know are there that I can hear clearly on a better system that are just absent on this. The bass is weak as well but mostly I care about the highs and mids and getting some depth in there. I want to keep the car looking as close to factory as I can. I don't want to replace the head unit but I want to drastically improve the audio quality. Right now I am looking at getting a 6 channel amp (6x 125W RMS, 400W bridge), bridging two of those to a 10'' sub (500W RMS) in a custom box in the back and the other four to four component speakers (140W RMS) in the two front doors (tweeters in pillars) and the rear deck. Going to have it professionally installed and am trying to decide if sound dampening is worth it or not. The other option would be a 4 channel amp (4x 125W RMS, 400W bridge), bridging two of those to a 10'' sub (500W RMS) in a custom box in the back and the other two to two component speakers in the two front doors (tweeters in pillars). The original head unit wattage would then go to the rear deck and I'd install better but lower 100W RMS speakers there. As far as I can tell option 1 would be about $4k, $5.5k with dampening. Option 2 would be about $2.5k, $4k with dampening. Any auto audio experts out there work with the later gen accords have any advice? I want quality audio but I'm not an audiophile and I don't want body-shaking bass, just some depth. Not blasting this thing I just want music to have the appropriate depth at normal volume. Am I on the right track. Is my budget way off? Should I be focusing on something else? Thank you [/QUOTE]
