Default A Couple Audio Questions.....

Hey Guys:

I've got a couple questions:

I had a system in my 2000 Acura Integra, and when I had it takne out before selling it, I kept all the wiring and everything. My question is: Can I use the same wires to install an amp and sub in my S2000? Or do i have to buy a whole new amp wiring kit?

Also, do you recommend amping the stock speakers, or just running them off of my Alpine radio.. The Alpine is a 60w x 4.. If I do not amp the stock speakers, will I have a noticeable difference in the sound compared to the stock head unit? Meaning, will the speakers be louder with more clarity? The radio is the Alpine 7893.

Also, can I use the same harness with the Alpine radio that was used to install it in my Integra?

Lastly, can I use a four channel amp to run my stock speakers and a sub all at once? If so, would you guys recommend it? Or am I better off just amping the sub, and running the stock speakers through the head unit?

The car is a lease, so don't want to mess with installing aftermarket speakers....

I appreciate any help... Sorry for all the questions...

that's more than a couple...
answers in order.
-yes
-no
-no amp on stock speakers
-not getting 60 W x 4 out of that Alpine, more like 22 Wrms at most out of the V-drive
-yes
-yes, most likely
-i don't know. it is probably the same harness, but i'm not sure.
-you could...
-i wouldn't, don't amp the stock speakers, they are rated for like 10 Wrms.
-yes.
-you don't have to mod a lot to get aftermarket speakers in, especially if you use Honda speaker wire adapter.
-no problem. check w/ Dave or John on the Integra harness thing...

i had a 99 gsr though it might of been made in 98 because I bought a hardness and if i can recall it said 99-02 honda or something
becuase my one from my 99 gsr and 92 hatch was the same
since in the last years ive went through these few cars..

so you might just want to check if you had a 00 gsr you should be good to go...
i remember th s2k plug is not to long and more fat
the lower yeared hondas was longer and not as wide
