I don't know about adding speakers to a stock system. (Power output and speakers are likely optimized.) Add a small amp to what you got and/or, better, amp (many with built in crossovers) and speakers. That'll change your world.Hello! So I recently thought of changing my door speakers as I am not happy with the stock output. I am driving Acura ILX base 2017 and got the JBL Stage 3 607C component system for front doors and Alpine S S65S for rear doors. Upon installation I didn’t feel much difference also the installer guy said the crossovers for JbL are damaged. I bought them a week ago and couldn’t agree on him. Now just after a day or two left door speakers(F/R) both stopped working to which I am not sure as to get the rear one replaced with JBL only or should stick to Alpine itself as I feel the stock amplifier isn’t taking too much load for such heavy speakers. Open for suggestions. Thanks
Easy fix, if you're content with the sound and volume of current system is to add a powered sub in the trunk (with remote output control - 'woofer volume'.) That'll add some real depth to any system and can be had off Amazon for a couple of hundred bucks. Did that for my son's accord (12" powered sub...Blaupunkt or Alpine, dont recall) assuming Honda/Acura factory systems are of similar capability and quality, it's a gamechanger for sure.
I didn't look, and am not familiar with the upgrades you referenced. I just had a minute for some stand alone, general theory advice. Ha
