Car Forum / Honda Cars / January 200606 accord speaker problems
I was in my 06 accord today, just started driving and my front right speaker just kicked out. I faded the radio all the way to the front and to the right and the tweeter in the dash works, but not the main speaker in the door pannel... guess I gotta call honda tomarrow. has anyone had any problem with their speakers in ther 06 (or any for that mater) hondas? thanks -Nick > I was in my 06 accord today, just started driving and my front right speaker > just kicked out.

The Accord factory speakers aren't much more than plastic film, a little wire, and a magnet the size of a coin. You can literally crush them like a soda can. It's a shame that not even the V6 and Hybrid get anything decent. The tuner/CD player is only 18W/channel RMS and it can't be removed because it contains various control electronics. The overall quality is so poor that the electronic noise cancellation on the Hybrid generates a net gain of noise from its added hiss and rattles. You can buy adaptor kits online to replace the door speakers. The rear speakers are normal 6x9. A replacement stereo can be installed in the lower console compartment with an adaptor kit. > Honda stereos are especially bad.

I"ll get it fixed under warranty but if this happend out fo warranty, I'd definetly replace the front door speakers. anyone knwo fi the front door speakers are component or coax? (I'd imagine it's a coax, but just want to be sure) > > Honda stereos are especially bad.

You'd want a multi-driver 3rd party speaker to replace them. Feel free to pry out the cheap dash tweeters and replace them or add a resistor network to soften their screech. > I was in my 06 accord today, just started driving and my front right speaker > just kicked out.

Not sure what that's about. A Japanese company builds a car and installs a Japanese stereo in it and the polarity is backwards. Doesn't sound like rocket science to me . . 'Curly' Do you mean that half the speakers are polarized differently than the other half? Because if all of them are reversed it would not make a difference. >> I was in my 06 accord today, just started driving and my front right >> speaker [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > 'Curly' > Do you mean that half the speakers are polarized differently than the other > half?

I want to hear the music the right way round, not impress the neighbors :-) If you had a home theatre setup and the room speakers were polarized backwards, wouldn't (audiophile) people say you were GOOFY?

It's certainly not an issue with the factory speakers. > > Do you mean that half the speakers are polarized differently than the other > > half?

Polarity of speakers does not affect "which way" the sound will come out. It is simply a convenience so that two speakers will move in the SAME direction, reinforcing the sound pressure, rather than cancelling it. > If you had a home theatre setup and the room speakers were polarized > backwards, wouldn't (audiophile) people say you were GOOFY? > > 'Curly' Only the ones who believe that $50/foot "audiophile" cables "sound better" than lamp cord. --Gene > I can't comment on failures, but all the Hondas I've ever checked had > the speakers polarized backwards . .

They're not reversed if they're all that way. As long as they are the same, they aren't canceling each other out. |
