Default 03 accord deck prob


does anyone know the specs on the stock stereo sys that comes with the
car..

do u think it has rca preouts or anything like that..and where can i
find instructions on taking out the radio..

my friends owns one..and wants to upgrade the sound sys..
an amp and a small sub should do the trick for now...but i don't know
whats behind the deck. its a 2003 accord where the deck and a/c
controls are all built in one...it does not have the nav sys.

I have the same one. You can't remove the deck to upgrade. You have to
get an adapter kit for the CD storage bin below the stock stereo and
put the new deck there. (that's what I had to do)

----------------------
Dipso,

You can add an amp and sub to any car stereo by tapping in a 'line level
converter' box to the speaker outputs (it converts speaker level down to
'line' level), which then goes to your new amp / sub.

Default Re: 03 accord deck prob

I'm intrested in adding a stereo to the CD bin too. I have questions:

1. Do still have room to close the bin cover, or did you have to remove it
altogether?

2. What did you have to disassemble in order to complete this, (shifter
console, other hidden brackets, etc.)?

3. Did you have a set of instructions to complete this work?

4. Does your stock stereo still work as normal after installing your new
deck?

5. What source of wires did you use to connect the red, yellow, orange, etc.
from the aftermarket stereo? Was an aftermarket wire harness helpful?

6. What problems did you encounter?

Thanks.

Remove it altogether. Here's the part number for the kit. Metra
99-7862 You can get it from here if you want, this is where I ordered
it from http://www.installer.com/kits/index.html

>2. What did you have to disassemble in order to complete this, (shifter

You can use this. I actually got the guys where I bought the system to
put it in for me. (along with a 240watt PPI amp powering 2 10" JL
Audio Subs in the trunk)

See above.

Well, it comes on, the clock works, but the Kit comes with a wiring
adapter that doesn't supply the old deck with speaker outs.

>5. What source of wires did you use to connect the red, yellow, orange, etc.

Very, see above.

>6. What problems did you encounter?

None, like I said, the guys put it in for me, but it only took them a
1/2 hour. My new deck is a JVC SH-707 MP3 player with 50x4watts + the
subs in the trunk. It rocks now!
