How to add stereo to '04 Accord
Ok guys/gals my wife drives an '04 Accord coupe.
She has the 6pack in the dash and MP3 from factory and will NOT let me put a deck in the car.
She wants a stereo in the car and I'm planning on re-doing all the speakers and adding a sub for her. Probably going to do a 5channel so I can keep it clean and simple.
What can I do to get RCA outputs so I can get signal for fronts/rear/sub. I know everyone will say ditch the rears but my wife actually fads the music slightly to the rear not the front for daily listenting dispite my changing it every time so I've given up on a front stage only stereo.
If anyone can tell me how I can accomplish this for her car I would appreciate it.
Thanks
Jason

There is no equalization in this car, making some interfaces that have built in OEM frequency response correction circuits really redundant. I would use the Audio Control 6XS. While marketed as a crossover (and a really good one), it is also a highly advanced interface that takes either 2, 4 or 6 channels of input and gives. 2, 4, 6 or 8 channels of output. It is a simple connection as well. Take a rca cable, buck off one end, strip the center conductor and the shield and hook them onto the speaker wires in the vehicle. Done, simple as that. It then adds a master gain input for in your case the front and rears. Next throw in a line driver in all channels + master gain output controls. Finally the front output can be configured for high and mid pass or high pass. To top it all off, it also adds a dash mountable remote subwoofer level control.
This is the ideal interface to use in your situation. Match up a superior 5 channel amp like the Memphis Belle or the Eclipse XA5000 and you are done.
