    I just bought a new Honda Accord Hybrid sport trim and the audio is terrible. I was warned but I really didn't think it would bother me as much as it is.

    Does anyone here have place they would recommend to get a new stereo installed?

    Or advice on best value/bang for the buck system I should get installed?

    I've googled and yelped but I'm unsatisfied. I suspect that real Rockets fans take care of their rides better than the average bear.

    Any guidance will be appreciated. And BTW I love this car. Switched from Toyota and so far I'm glad I did.

    JL is fine for amps and subs….but get Focal for main speakers.

    Used to be able to find great deals on head units, speakers, amps and trunk boxes at the flea market.

    I would probably start over at Crutchfield, see what's available for your car, then head over to a Honda forum and see what others have done to upgrade their cars and what issues you might run into. Youtube might help too.

    Car Toys will probably rip you off, but I used them before and liked the experience.

    Home Entertainment on Westheimer and Voss area, ask for Steven or his boss Matt. Alpine and JBL for half price. We can install it for you too.

    Welcome to 1995.
