Stock Stereo Specs.

[DDRaptor]

I have searched for specs on the factory radio. come up nil.

I want to know what are the stock specs and how much can it power.
right now it has 4 6" 15W speakers that equals 60W total and i have 4 tweeters inline with each speaker.

Also if it's possible to connect a sub with a common ground with all the speakers so it gets more bump. not super large maybe like a 7-8" sub.

THanks for info.

[ghettogeddy]

well trying to add a sub would mess with impedence(ohm's) i personaly wouldent hook a sub up to a stock deck with out an amp it will eather mess the deck up or mess the sub up

[Listen2myBASS]

it will, most likely, blow the amp on the deck since it would be pulling so much power that your deck probably doesn't have.

[AccordEpicenter]

stock radio sucks, shitcan at once.

[DDRaptor]

actually i love my stock radio it bumps my car plenty SInce i grounded the car with that 4 guage wire. no noise, or static or anything.

i'm just trying to figure if i can buy 4 new 6" speakers with higher wattage.

and the sub i would need some sort of AMP, amps ar'nt hard to build.

[MessyHonda]

yeah i would not recomend any subs on a stereo...me being the example...i pluged in my 10 inch sub to my deck and now my deck is weak....the internal amp is slowly dieing.

[carotman]

If the amp has high inputs (speaker level) it could be used to drive a subwoofer.

[DDRaptor]

Don't think it has high level according to this.

Heres the problem 6inch speakers are'nt really made so i guess i have to get 4 6.5" speakers

Here are the color codes to hook-up a radio to your 3rd gen. I strongly recomment you buy an adapter that will allow you to keep your original harness but if it's already missing, cou can use this code

on the eq output there is a low level output

(diagram is show as if you were looking at the
male pins)

7 1 1 blue - left stereo out (from HU
2 white - left stereo in (to HU)
6 8 2 3 black - ground for stereo in
4 orange - ?
5 3 5 red - power ?
4 6 yellow - right stereo in
7 green - right stereo out
8 black - ground for stereo out

The metal ring around the outside
of the pins is the ground connection

[DDRaptor]

What EQ? i don't have any. your post just got me really confused:huh:

[Crazybird]

lol u actaully like ur stock stereo and u say it thumps..... perhaps u should get into one of our cars that has a good stereo and then ull see what bumps for little money

[DDRaptor]

trust me personally i hate super loud radios in cars. I'm happy with it. just trying to find out the Wattage output, without having to resort to my school smarts.
Power (W) = V X I
yada yada yada and all those neat things from DC/AC class.:rant:

[ghettogeddy]

no theres a 8pin connector on the back of the stock stereo u should be able to tape into the lines directly and use them as a low level output

[DDRaptor]

ok that connector is obviously seperate from the other harness with the speaker out puts. i think i understand now. the how to on getting the radio out has no pictures anymore but it should'nt be so hard.

So if what your telling me is right that extra connector leads to nowhere on my deck since i don't have an EQ. So how exactly would i use those connection, cause according to your posted code it also has an input so can that be used as a permanent input?

thanks for clearing up your post.

[ghettogeddy]

yes u are right about the in im not sure if u need the eq or not i know frantic has made a working input but like i said im unsure about the eq part

and as far as getting the stock steroe out there are 2 screws in the back and i belive thats it

[Civic Accord Honda]

i have a $19 150x2= 300 watt sub from kregen in my car it sounds great with my 150 watt 3way spekers all on the stock lx-i radio
but its still not loud enuf for me must get 1000000 watt system:kekeke:

[ghettogeddy]

well as of right know im just running 4 5 1/4" polk audio db series and they sound awsome but i have like no lows at all im also running them off of a stock prelude cd player


heres a couple or pics of my old systems

damn that's alot of s*^t, that install looks clean. well anyways tommorow is street cleaning day so i have to move the car regardless now i have to take out the radio and take some pictures. And i'll put my skills out there and use my multimeter to meter the AC volts and the current and try to figure out stock output wattage.

witch install looks clean lol

when i took out my dx speakers i think they said 30 watts....so it could be 120watts? for speakers so the stereo should be around that

[ghettogeddy]

that seams like alot for a stock stereo more like 15watts a ch sounds better

[DDRaptor]

both those systems, but i happen to like my trunk space.

mine are defintly 15W printed on back.

[ghettogeddy]

ya i love the trunk space i have know but even with the one 10 i had alot of room in there

[MessyHonda]

im not sure if it was 30watts or 15.....btw it just said high powered on the honda deck. but yeah if the bose se-i can with 120 watts amps our cars must of came with 60 watts.

[DDRaptor]

the pictures make is seem kinda bulky, you had 2 caps 2 amps a 10inch. I'm thinking it could be between 60-120Watts max. cause i have 15w speakers, he has/had 30 watt speakers which would make sense since speakers have regular inputs and their max input is around double the regular input.

Here are the specs from my 1989 Acc Brochure

So the DX is like 3 Watts per channel @ 1% THD?

and the LX/LX-i is 10 Watts per channel @ 1%THD?

[DDRaptor]

That's what it seems like. that's alot of options just for the Se-i lucky people at the time.

Not just for SE-i's

That Brochure is for ALL 1989 Honda's

[DDRaptor]

oh, hmm mine is'nt any on of those but the first has the button config the same except for some slight things. guess they changed radios for 89?

[DDRaptor]

I tested the system today . 4 ohm speakers have a resitance of exactly 3.7.

And the AC volateage out at midway volume is around 1.0 - 1.2 V with the the bass and treble adjusters maxed. i can go 3/4 before it starts crackling. before the grounding wire i would crakle at half without the bass maxed.

but i can't get the power output because my multimeter does'nt have AAC field so i could'nt measure the current.

So roughly around 4.5-4.7 volts AC is about the max these speakers can handle cause at 5V it begins to crackle.
