I'm looking on installing a CD changer and was wondering where I could get a harness for the stock head unit? I'm also planning on moving front speakers to the rear and adding more efficient speakers to the front.
Any Ideas?

 

Geezer

I just (last night) installed an Alpine CHM-S630 6 cd changer. You can order the adapter from Crutchfield. It is the Peripheral adapter for Honda Accord 1998 to present into Alpine changers. It is $49.99 (plus shipping). It is probably the cheapest one around.

I bought the changer from www.etronics.com for $179.99 (plus shipping). I thought that that was pretty reasonable. The service was excellent. Crutchfield is asking $229.00 for the same changer.

I bought the rear speakers from Lucid and I bought his harness. I don't recall the price. Lucid's service is also excellent. The rear speakers make a great deal of diffierence. They "fill" the cabin with sound. I also upgraded my front speakers to three way Kenwoods. I wasn't trying to recreate Carnegie Hall but after listening to my wife' Bose system in her new TL the sound in the S left me cold.

By the way, I've kept my MY02 head unit. I really don't want to lose the dashboard controls, and I don't want to install the adapters that I read about. Also, I have always thought that the stock head unit was fine for me. After the speakers and the changer, I am content with my system.

Some of the threads that I've read say that the front speakers are more important, and should be upgraded even before adding rears. I disagree. I think the rear speakers made the most dramatic difference both in terms of quality and fullness of sound.

Good luck. Enjoy.

Now if the rain would stop I could take it on the road!
