i got tha 2005 Special edition head unit and i was wondering if anyone knew the specs on it?.. watts speakers can take? watts the head unit lets out?... also... i head that even though aftermarkets say the head units let out 200 watts .. they really can only produce 12-14rms per channel... and i really wanted to know if i got new speakers.. would it make a difference bcuz i plan to keep my head unit! plzzz help!

 

hey man i did the same i have the 6 disc in dash that comes in the ex se and i kept the stock head unit and changed my rear deck speakers and added amp and subs and it sounds great you can take it up to 40 i ride around with it on 25 and bass on -3 sounds awesome tweeters really kick to just get and audio out converter tap in the bck of the hu or rear speakers (i did) so your amp and get a feed converter 20 bucks circuit city hide all the wires and you'll be fine the hu was like a 700 buck add on you would be dumb to change it out at least in your 1st year

 

so u stayed stock in the front?... changed the rear speakers... got an amp and sub?..... i was thinkin of changing out my spaekers and adding a amp and sub BUT im not sure if i should change the speakers or just keep em stock and just add an amp and sub... what do u think?... did it make a difference just changing ur rear speakers.. like witout the amp and sub? way better than stock or nah? (not counting the amp and sub) also... r ur tweeters stock?

tweeters stock if you just add amp and sub/s to start with you will be more than satisfied b/c you can hear all six speakers very well and you can here voice well too so when you add the sub the base will be there at low volume so there will be no need to ever go to volume 40 again i ride on 25-30 thats when i want to drown out the wife i turn it up and keep my eyes on the rode i peek at her out the corner of my right eye and laugh inside shhhhh..... don't tell

 

I have the 05 Se as well and was wondering if you would be able to tell me what you needed to install the amp/subwoofers, where did you tap in bc i know the head unit doesnt support RCA any advice would be appreciated
