My stock stereo sucks!
Hi there.. I have a 2005 Civic EX, and the stereo that came with it sucks. The thing that grates on my nerves most is the highs - hissy, harsh, and artificial sounding, particularly CD's. I guess the question is this: If anyone else has experiened this, or just doesn't like the stock stereo sound, which sounds more likely to cure it - new speakers or a new head unit? I'd prefer to do speakers and keep the stock head unit, as it would seem less inviting to thieves and I don't want any broken windows.. But if new speakers don't help, then I suppose the head unit will have to happen (because I can't stand the way this thing sounds).
Also, anyone know what size fit the rear deck and doors (2005 EX Sedan)? Reccommendations?
Thanks,
Tim

Yea, acura1 is right. A head unit is what will change the sound the most in your ride. Your stock speakers will be able to perform better with a decent head unit. You should go ahead and replace the speakers to. That way the head unit will really shine and so will your new speakers.

take a look at the speakers......if theyre oval then they are 6*9's........if theyre round then theyre 6.5's. Oh and if u get a new headunit it wont attract theives........just pop off the faceplate......then no one will bother.
