I have the same car, 2018 Accord sport. Once you put a sub in the trunk, you will know the difference. I simply went with 1 jl audio 10w3 and an alpine single channel 500 watt amp. I turned the lows off my factory speakers and raised the treble and the sound stage is awesome!

Thanks man. I almost updated my speakers before the sub. I still will but I'll be using an amplifier since you recommended it.

I appreciate the honest feedback

I run my factory EQ (2018 Accord Touring) at these settings for a modest improvement in sound with factory speakers: Treble 35% Mid-range 25% Bass 100% Subwoofer 100% Made a huge improvement in the stock system sound. To get more would require hardware changes and in line equilibration.

@@saurabhdsawant im in the process of replacing my interior speakers, left, right fronts, left, right rears, and front center, and rear deck subwoofer. but last year i just brought a cheap 10" sub and it hits pretty good, but the dsp does lower bass some a higher volume levels gotta get a line out converter to fix that.

I have the 2018 Honda sport with the factory interiors on a jl audio rd 400/4 amp they sound amazing

I think that Honda has gone cheaper in this generation Accord on both the amp and the speakers. On the 9th Gen, the speakers have much beefier magnets and amp has more punch. I upgraded the stock speakers in my daughter Honda Accord Sport with the Rockford Fosgate R1675x2 and R165x3 as well as adding a pair of Alpine 1" tweeters in the A pillar panel trim. The audio system now sounds a lot better with decent bass but the treble and vocal came through way better than the stock and the sound stage is terrific. I'd do a few things different to this 10th Gen Accord though if I was to upgrade it. I'd use the R1675x2 in the front and use the R1-TS tweeters to replace the stock tweeters. However, I would NOT hot glue the new tweeter to the OEM trim, just use some Gorilla or 3M tape to hold them in place, they are not going anywhere in that little pocket. More importantly, I would NOT cut into the OEM audio connector, you are risking warranty of your car. You can buy a couple of adapter cables from eBay to connect them to the new tweeters instead (I know, it is sucked that Crutchfield don't have them). Or do what I did, leave the tweeter connectors alone and tapped into the R1675x2 second set of speaker connectors and send the audio up the tweeters. This way, you don't risk any warranty with Honda and if you sell the car, you can put the old speakers back and keep your upgrade speakers for the new car. Last but not least, I'd use the R165x3 in the back where you could add better treble than the 2 way speakers. As for bass, there is nothing you can do with the OEM amp unless you replace the entire head unit. A better way is to add an 8" compact powered sub from JBL, Blaupunkt or Bazooka bass tube behind the rear seat and you should have plenty of bass. There is no need for stage 3 as far as I am concerned in such a small car unless you are doing a competition system.

Hi thx for this informative post. A couple of thoughts. The original Honda Accord door tweeters had an orange capacitor, visible in your your tube video, to limit the frequency to the tweeter which is from a shared line going to the door woofer. Not replacing that cap in the new tweeter could eventually burn out that tweeter because it is receiving the same full-range info which is going to the door speaker. I am a bit surprised it is working as well as you explained in your video. I bought an fairly expensive set of door speakers with separate tweeters from Crutchfield which included their own crossover. The Crutchfield tech rep highly recommended using these external crossovers, because of that capacitor on the original tweeter. Secondly, the Crutchfield tech rep also recommended putting foam speaker backers on the door woofers but also said I should cut the back to not restrict airflow too much. The helps direct the sound into the car and not into the interior door panel. Thirdly, they also recommended Hushmat Wave Breaker Kit be placed on the interior metal door, directly behind the door speaker to eliminate reflection on the back of the door speakers from the metal. It is a sound-deadening pads for speaker back waves. These may have made a difference in your install. Lastly, you should have used foam strips on the back of the speaker to insulate it a bit from the plastic mounting ring. I'll be installing mine next week. Also bought a higher-end replacement 3 1/2" midrange speaker for the dash speaker behind the display. In my opinion, this is the "problem" speaker which make the whole system sound hollow and the midrange is irritating. However, interested if you have installed another amp and sub, etc.

2015 Honda accord running factory head unit with audio control lcq1, 6.5 alpines, Components up front, 2 way in rear. Kenwood Exelon 650 4 ch for mids and highs. Jl audio 500/1 for Memphis mojo 12 inch sub in ported box.... sounds loud n clear.. no distortion even at 30 volume..

Of course you need decent amps for the system to work properly... :) Amps are often the most important component. Not only do you need enough power to drive the speakers (180W is a joke), dedicated amps also provide a much more "pure" signal. You should definitely consider a 4-channel amp for the front system (one channel per speaker) and a separate mono amp for the woofer. You should also consider using High/Low pass filters to fine tune the signals going into the speakers in the front.

You DO NOT have to cut the tweeter harness. Just run a new wire from the mid woofer to the tweeter. On this set, there's two positive and two negative connections.

You need better quality speakers up front. I've used JL C5 using the OEM hu in a 07 Accord and it sounded excellent. Note, the install is key, I would highly recommend a complete sound deaden door. Use foam between speaker and bracket and door.

Dynamat my man. Made a huge difference for me.

Anxious to see what difference the sub-woofer and amplifier make!

Did you tap into the front or rear speaker wires to power up the sub?

You didn’t show the mods that u did it for the tweeter and how connected the wire harness

I've given you gladly the Like for your honest opinion. Of course there would be an improvement regarding the highs (obviously due to better tweeters), a little bit better mid-range and no improvement in the lower section of the spectrum. And why? Simply because all after market-speakers (components/coaxials etc.) are thought out for setup with a) proper amplification, b) proper frequency filters (HPF etc.) and c) subwoofer to take over the base. It is a TOTAL misconception that after-market speakers will transform just like that SPL and/or sound quality of a system. Nice video though! So, keep up!

I’d just go with a sub modified to fit the trunk to look factory. Only thing lacking to me is the lows. I don’t need huge bass like my younger years. Maybe a 8-10” sub should do the trick.

On tweeter can you show how you did it and how did you check polarization and if so do you remember which wire was positive and which was negative

Where did you get the adaptors and how did you connect the new speaker with the original conector?? Thank!!!!, good video

You should do a video guiding how to change the rear speakers!! Like what way to pull the panels to not break the clips and all of that. I am ready to install my rear speakers I am just nervous that I will break a clip or something. Please and thanks!!

i think it's due the stereo head unit and not the speakers themselves. you will need an amplifier to get the most out of aftermarket speakers. the head unit EQ'd to be a little bass heavy; so aftermarket speakers will have a noticeable gain in treble. I've bought the same rockfords too, and i returned it all because i didn't want to drop money on an amp.

I've done an upgrade and I just want to say that you will need to remove the ANC from behind the glove box to comlete the upgrade or you will have feedback whenever you accelerate. The car has crap plastic that's not installed with noise insulation so you will need to look into padding to reduce rattle once the sub is installed or you will not like how much rattle comes when the bass hits. If you want a diagram let me know and I'll post it for you.

Don't be shocked that after a month you will upgrade to a better amp and subs because you can always turn it down if u buy too much but if it's not enough it's just not enough.

will adding an amp to this keep the Noise cancelling feature from working properly? A guy from Crutchfield told me it would.

Did you use the crossovers that came with your component speaker kit or were you just using the same wiring that the old speakers were plugged into? I have the same setup in my '16 HRV with stock front 2 ways and I'm mad nervous my JBLs wont work right.

I was hoping the new speakers would work as I'm looking to do the same for my 18 touring. I think for and unamplified setup you should look at impedance. Some Infinity Primus or JBL GTOs might have worked better as the have a higher sensitivity and a lower impedance giving more power to speaker output...good luck on your project!

Hello! I just recently traded in my 2016 Accord for the 2018 Accord. I had a customer built fiberglass box that was built into the spare wheel well hidden away 12” Type R Alpine along with amps and interior Alpine speakers upgrade. Sad to say I’ve been without my music for about a month now and I’m going CRAZY. I’m tired of waiting on my boyfriend to get started on this project, what size door speakers did you use? Did you have to buy the kit separately? What size speakers will I need for the rear? I didn’t get to keep the interior speakers from the 2016 Accord because the original hole sizes were modified to accommodate larger speakers. Any information will help, thanks.

Where can I get this speaker ?

What size are the front and rear speakers 6.5? And what size is the center speaker behind the radio

Do you use the same adapter from the old speaker or you use a different one?? If you use the same one how you take off the old speaker

Can u connect amp to the speakers make them sound better?

Hey bro so you connected new wire to the tweeter right? What color where the tweeter wires?

He needs 3 ohm speakers not 4 ohm speakers to notice a difference . Because the oem speakers is 3.7 ohms

how many screws did u use for the new lower speakers

What size are those speakers I want to put new ones on my 2018 accord sport but i confuse about the size

Yep, good report. Since everything is relying on the stock HU, sound quality will be negligable.

YOU INSTALLED YOUR FRONT SPEAKERS WRONG. Read the install manual. You are supposed to plug the tweeters into the extra speaker tabs on the mids. The mids have the crossover for the tweeter. Since you spliced the factory wires, you bypassed the crossover!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do need a special hardness to install the door speakers?

Alpine type r speakers and a amp will make day and night different even without the subwoofer.

Wonder if you just put a new amp in that it would sound good enough

If you put new speakers in without an amp they are still running off the stock head unit power. Meaning you really wont get much of a difference at all. The stock head unit is only meant to power the stock speakers. So when you put better speakers in there with the same power you are depriving them of the power they need. You wont get really any better sound without an amp.
