    curious as to whether or not there are audio out jacks on my factory
    stereo.I am thinking of installing a amp and sub.
    anyone know the answer to this,and whether or not this is a good idea
    knowing what this car has for speakers from the factory?
    thx

    Not on the '03-'05 accords. You could use Hi/Lo converters but
    I've been told the sound quality is poor.
    It is already a 180 watt system.
    The speakers use neodymium magnets which look wimpy but seem to
    be strong.

    I find the system to be very strong but very non-linear; ie: way
    too much bass, very uneven bass response (some notes much louder
    than others). I find the system pounds my ears even with the
    bass set to minimum. Very poor sound compared to my last car
    which had a Kenwood (22watt x 4) and Infinity 10" 200 watt
    powered sub.

    I'm leaving the current system (Alpine) in and adding a 2nd
    system (Kenwood) to get better sound and so I can hook up my
    Phatbox. Phatbox is similar to iPod but has voice announcement
    (speaks the album/artist names when you select next). The
    Phatbox is also completely controlled by the Kenwood headunit.
    I'm going to use Peripheral Electronics SPK to switch the
    speakers, I'm making custom electronics to switch back to the
    OEM unit when the Nav voice speaks and to mute the Kenwood
    when doing voice input to the Nav unit. I'm also adding the
    Infinity 10" 200 watt powered sub. I modified the Telephone ECU
    harness (08E02-SDA-100) so I don't have to cut any of the stock
    harness.

    I hated the factory speakers on my '03 V6 Accord and upgraded with
    aftermarket JBLs purchased from Crutchfield. Much better sounding IMO.
    The stock head unit has plenty of power available for my needs.
