Stock Audio

[Accord07]

Hey guys
as all you know im about to get a CB7, the one im getting has stock casette
AM/FM radio with the stock speakers. The question is how do these speakers sound...are they total crap or work ok, my corolla is a crap car but apparently has good speakers in it, stock though.
and isnt the stock head unit made by Panasonic, and speakers too ?

If the speakers are the same stock ones the car came when when it rolled out of the factory, chances are that they probably won't work too well. These old speakers aren't exactly the best made ones, compared to today's standards. 14+ years would definitely take a toll on them.

The stock deck is made by alpine i believe. I'm not sure about the speakers.

[Accord07]

yeah i assume your right, they prob will be gone by now
but hey, japanese quality hits up on other things too
i got 21 year old pioneers in my truck and they work great

There's no doubt about that.

Materials used to manufacture modern speaker systems (even lower quality ones) are more resilient to heat, cold and moisture as well as time.

[Accord07]

yeah, i agree with you, lets see how these work, i dont want super excellent quality, something better than crappy ford factory systems, i think this should be OK
hows the head unit ?
pretty easy to work ?

i think it all depends on the car. i bought a couple of cb7s and they were all different. my 1st ones they we blown. and then when i got into my 2nd 10 aniv. i turned it up and was like wow, this sound sick for a stock. so it all depends.

Yes the factory stock decks (including the single disc and cd changers options) were OEM Alpine, except for the '91 EX deck that had 8 instead of 6 presets with a power switch separate from the volume. That one was Matsushita (Panasonic).

I thought the OEM speakers were by Pioneer. At least I'm sure they were on the 3rd gen.

[Accord07]

alpines pretty good...so i guess OEM is good
better than any domestic OEM system.

if AE were BOSE i didnt get the BOSE . I took the whole car apart and I didnt see BOSE anywhere. If it was bose i think you cant just switch them car to car, you need to do the whole system bc of the amplifier, i think. BUT i did switch them from this car to another, so im pretty sure theyre not BOSE.

And yes stock is Pioneer

my 92 EX has the stock speakers all around. i have a older sony head unit that came with the car when i bought it used.

the system sounds pretty damn good. ive cranked some techno and they handle it pretty well.

i do have a slight buzz in one of my rear 6X9s but you dont really notice it.

thats my story.

[cleanjdm]

it sounds pretty good for stock, but i'd definetly upgrade it!

[Accord07]

im gonna prob def upgrade when i get some $$
