Hey guys… not really a car guy but I know the basic. However, I do not know anything about speakers. I have a 2013 Honda accord sport and the speakers are ok but I want something that’s a lot louder and has more bass. I am trying to get something that’s good value but also is really good for the value. I’m not even sure what I need. Can anyone help me out please? Summer is coming and I absolutely need to be BUMPING by then.


Thank you

Hello,

fellow car/sound guy here.

thought maybe i could give some tips as i need to make my first forum post!

Being able to play music with loss less compression is crucial if you want it to sound good LOUD aka bumping. Use .flac media format as its a huge improvement in sound from mp3 etc

To get access to this in your trusty honda all you need is a USB stick to stream lossless/.flac audio from your phone

If you are planing on just playing mp3/compressed audio it will sound worse the louder it is,

as for what speakers to get you can pick what suits your needs, BUT the crucial part is having a GOOD TUNE making sure nothing is peaking and getting distorted this includes EQ, tone controls, balance, and fade all set to the middle or flat.
Keep bass off during this because it can drown out sounds during tuning.

Im not good with electronics so i would pay someone to install it for me

a entry might be in the front doors 2x 6,5 inch speakers, a subwoofer and a amp in the trunk because the sub needs to be able to push air. then you can add 2x 6.5 inch in the back seats etc just check so the amp can handle it.
these are usally available in kits where everything is compatible etc.

depending on if you are trying to have good sound in the interior or exterior. Exterior sound setup is when they put it all in the trunk basiclly.
Whatever you pick, its alot better then the OEM speakers you have now. Even the cheaper stuff.
Hope this helps

ill reply if you have any questions :)

i found this

https://ds18.com/collections/honda/products/ds18-2008-2019-honda-accord-front-and-back-doors-speakers-better-upgrade-package-900-watts

This is BUMPING like you will be a moving terrorized zone.

since its a older car you will have to dig a bit to find the kits , They are in obscure places but they are still being made and sold.

Then you call a car sound shop its a nieche haha that dose sound and they quote you for the installation

Glad i could help :)
