Default Thinking about a transplant... will it work... need help

I found a complete RSX-S sound system with speakers, tweeters, sub, headunit and all for under $300. Now the question is how much of a pain will it be transplanting that into my 94 Accord?

Thanks in advance for the help.

why bother? even a cheap aftermarket system would sound better than a factory system. also the head unit in the RSX-S will not fit a standard DIN opening.

I agree. A $300 aftermarket deck will improve the sound quality much more the stock deck. I doubt the stock speakers are really worth the upgrade.

Save your money

i don't even think the HU will fit .. you're going to have to do some major trimming around the RSX-S's radio to make it fit. when you're done with that, then you'll have to go through the pain in the ass of hand connecting every wire, then run the speaker lines and power for the weak sub ...


also, the speakers have NO range in them at all. the sound system in the RSX-S is really really really really weak for a "premium" setup.

I've heard of breast augmentation:yay:, breast reduction, but never transplant.
