I'm interested in what you purchased to improve your stock stereo. Thanks
If we were discussing an Acura or other luxury vehicle than I would agree with your suggestion, but we're talking about Honda. If you're an audiophile then it won't meet your needs, but the rest of us are comfortable with the OEM equipment....for what Honda was expected to do right the first time...
I just did my 2016 EX on a budget.I understand the importance of the speakers in the front of the vehicle, and that upgrading the back ones may not be worth the bother, especially if no one generally rides back there. What would be the best way to upgrade and keep all the other options on the screens?
If only upgrading the front speakers is the way to go, does anyone have any suggestions on what speakers would work best with the original sound system?
I'm not going to say that my upgrades compete with a high-priced car audio shop install, but they definitely improved the sound by a few points on a 1-10 scale. Speakers and a mini-amp without question made the audio better sounding than any stock system in a friend's or family member's late model vehicle (Kia Soul, Subaru Forester/Outback, Mitsubishi Outlander, Ford Escape). I'm not an audiophile but I definitely appreciate nice-sounding stereos. I spent some years in a touring & recording band, I've upgraded the audio in all of my prior vehicles, for a few years I had my own radio show on a small station, and I started using component home audio systems & building speakers back in high school over 20 years ago, so I guess I have some standards though! 😂I'd be interested in hearing if you have comparisons of your own (1-10 ratings before and after)?
Factory vs. your new set up?
I'm pretty sure I've seen people mention that they added USB ports to the stock system. I'm on my way out the door to help my daughter practice soccer, so I might not get a chance to dig up any links for you until tomorrow (if I can find them again). As for a tuner upgrade, that's something I don't remember seeing - only full head unit upgrades.Also are you aware of any FM tuner upgrades that can be done to OEM stereo?
I may opt for the FM Transmitter to get my AUX 3.5mm jack capability.
I keep my cars for 8-10 years, and love music so IMO, the money is well spent to get a better stereo. More enjoyment than a brake job right? lolIn the three Hondas which I've upgraded the sound system & added deadener,
