Hi everone,

I just bought a new 2003 Accord EX-L (without Nav) and would like to upgrade the sound system. My salesman told me that the stock deck could be used as a pre-amp, but I am starting to wonder whether this is true or not. :-) I suppose they'll tell you anything to make a sale, right? :-)

It seems to me that I'll need to use a high-pass filter/converter to use external amps with the stock deck, right? I'd like to add my own amps, speakers, crossovers, and sub. Has anyone done this?? Why can't I find any info out there??! What's the best way to do it? I've always done my own custom sound installations, but I'm a little leery about doing this one myself! :-)

Any tips, ideas, and tricks would be GREATLY appreciated! And if you know of any links/sites with good info, please pass it along!

Thanks,
