TIME FOR A NEW STEREO SYSTEM FOR THE LUDE

[elroto]

There are so many choices, could you guys/gals give me some ideas of which way to go? Should I maintain the current factory speakers? thanks for the help!

It depends on what your goals are.

When I redid mine, I only wanted to switch out the head unit and the speakers in the rear deck. I found a set of speakers from Alpine that were a perfect fit win the existing holes in the rear deck. I paired that with a Sony head unit, and the whole thing sounds pretty good.

I can give you the model number of the Alpine speakers I used if you want. They may not make them anymore though.

The most cost effective way to improve the sound is to get better speakers.
I run JBL speakers off my stock head unit and they sound great.
Trust your ears interview several speakers before choosing.

Guys, just what is a "Stock Head Unit? "

[spiffyguido]

The stock unit is the stereo that came with your car. On your prelude, this would be a Honda Tape Deck.

thanks much, that unit while still in good condition is going the way of the buffalo down and out! I plan to install a more capable unit maybe even with steering wheel control. I have this on my Durango and it is very nice.
