Looking for a replacement sub woofer for your Acura that fits in the factory location? This is it! When replacing your factory subwoofer the three main challenges are that it must be a free air subwoofer as the factory subwoofer is not fully enclosed, that it must be 8 inches and not exceed 6 inches in depth and that its final impedance must be two ohms. This subwoofer meets all of those criteria and fits into the factory location with the use of an adapter bracket.
This replacement sub works with the factory amp but can be amplified with other amplifiers if wanted. We recommend you sound deaden the rear deck and the rear deck cover if you will be using another amp to power the sub.
This package comes with the adapter needed to mount the aftermarket sub in the factory location and a harness to connect to the factory subwoofer connector so the install is as easy as possible.
NOTICE: Please select your year and model for installation specific information and what factory features will continue working.

The factory tweeters in your Honda/Acura are clipped into place with three distinct clips. New tweeters don’t have these clips which makes installation hard. There is no way to mount the new tweeter to the existing tweeter housing without cutting or gluing. These tweeter cups hold an aftermarket tweeter and clip right into the factory housing to make installation simple and secure.
The cups can only hold a tweeter that is less than or equal to 1/2″. The JBL and Infinity tweeters fit perfectly but the PIONEER, Kicker, SKAR and many other tweeters are too big.
