Acura and Honda sedans are often equipped with sound systems that include an 8 inch free air subwoofer on the rear deck. The factory subwoofer in these cars has a special mounting design. It mounts with 4 bolts located on the “ears” of the subwoofer. This means a traditional subwoofer will not mount correctly. In order to install and mount a new aftermarket subwoofer you either must create your own adapter or drill into metal at a weird angle because of the rear windshield. Our adapter makes it easier to mount your new subwoofer in the factory location. Our adapter bracket has the same mounting mechanism as the factory subwoofer but also has the holes necessary to install your aftermarket subwoofer. To install the adapter you will remove the factory subwoofer and with the same mounting bolts secure this new adapter in place. You will then use the supplied mounting screws to secure the aftermarket subwoofer to the bracket.
This adapter is roughly 1/4″ thick. It is this thick to properly secure the aftermarket subwoofer to this bracket. In some Acura’s and Honda’s the extra thickness causes the rear deck cover to touch the new aftermarket subwoofer surround after installation. If this is the case with your installation you will want to trim the rear deck cover interior surround bezel of the subwoofer. This surround is meant to direct sound from the subwoofer to the cabin but with your new aftermarket subwoofer it is not needed. You will need a box cutter to cut the plastic surround, make sure when you are cutting the surround that has no rough edges that can potentially damage your new aftermarket subwoofer.
Along with the bracket and the mounting screws, we also include the speaker harness connector so you don’t have to cut any wires when you replace the sub you can just plug the new sub in. The speaker adapter varies from model to model so please include the year and model of your Acura in the billing notes when you go to checkout.

Adapter is too thick so woofer is touching the deck lid. Also had to scrape the inside of the adapter for the subwoofer to fit through all the way. I was not using a kicker subwoofer.
