The *ONLY* aftermarket deck in that price range that is better than your stock deck is the Pioneer DEH-80PRS.

Everything else sucks a bag of dicks in that price range, even the Alpines.

Bring your car into the modern age OP get yourself a joying android headunit.
You get the functionality of a tablet that can connect to your car as well as all the usual stuff

>>17717162
No fucking way on Earth you're getting an Android HU that's worth a flying fuck for $300. You'd have to spend double that to even begin, and even then, those suck.

>>17717162
If you like absolute garbage audio quality from your piece of shit, buggy, Android tablet masquerading as a car stereo.

>>17717122
Really? I was under the impression that literally anything was better than the stock stereo head. I currently use a cigarette lighter bluetooth -> FM transmitter and I think the sound just sucks because I have to go through FM rather than just straight into the unit.

>>17717363
>FM transmitter

Found your sound quality problem right there.

Honda stereos are, and have always been, made by Alpine. 2001 was right in Alpine's heyday of being the best of the best. There's nothing wrong with your deck, what's wrong is your shitty FM modulator.

Because your car had an optional CD changer, you can get an AUX in harness for your factory deck. That would increase the sound quality immensely. Blitz-Safe makes one for sure, maybe other people do as well.

>>17717363
>Really? I was under the impression that literally anything was better than the stock stereo head
in most cars that's true and I would disagree with OP. I replaced the unit in my camry several years ago (2002 Camry LE, stock sound, no upgraded speakers) and it sounded better with a kenwood dpx500bt

that being said the tilt of the headunit (facing up / angled toward rooftop, not straight 90 degrees in panel) made it a bitch in the sun. If I could do my decision over I would go for a single or double DIN pioneer HU.

keep the stock radio and get an aux adapter that plugs in where the cd changer did on the back of the radio. then flush mount it for maximum oem-ness

>>17717525
Really only works with radios that came with CD changers. With older Becker units you still need the CD changers there to send the right signals while replacing the actual audio lines

>>17718039
That's why you simply get the "mystery" box that fools the factory HU into thinking the CD changer is actually there.

>>17718039
It's normally just a resistance check or a 5v signal. You can either get a 12v to 5v converter to send a signal to that pin or bridge 2 pins with a resistor (that's what I did on my Blaupunkt)

>>17718339
OH SHIT! Which Blaupunkt is that? An old Tucson? I had a Denver that I gave to a good friend of mine that has a classic Camaro where he didn't want to cut the dash. Those old decks were SWEET.

>>17718297
>>17718339
I should have just done something like this instead of being a retard and wiring an AUX input directly to the amp

File: audio control three.2.jpg (22KB, 600x264px) Image search: [Google]

22KB, 600x264px

>>17718687
The problem with going directly to an amp is, no preamp control.

Now, you can get a preamp (an Audiocontrol Three.2 for example) and alleviate this, and it's actually a good idea. You get a useable volume control knob that way, plus the voltage coming out of your phone goes from 0.25V to 6V. That lets you turn the gain control down on the amp, increasing sound quality dramatically vs just being driven by the phone itself. The only problem there is, a good preamp costs twice as much as the mystery box does.

>>17716891
I have a similar model to this in my 99 accord.

Absolutely shits all over the stock HU. People telling OP to keep the stock stereo are stupid. Stock stereo has no AUX, no BT, and if it's anything like my accord it cannot even read burned CDs nevermind play MP3s.

There are so many things to tune on the stereo to get better sound ontop of it just flat out sounding massively better than the stock unit. Being able to adjust the high-pass filter so the doors don't rattle at high volumes is reason enough. You can adjust and tone down the colors to match your interior as well.

Get double-din OP, you already have enough storage pockets and the bigger buttons / volume knob and all that shit are nicer for driving.

Do not get anything touchscreen because it's fucking retarded.

>>17718709
My setup is just so janky right now, I think I'll just go back to using the radio and get that Yatour box to add AUX, maybe upgrade the speakers

>stock stereo has no AUX

Yes it does.

>Bluetooth

That's only good for listening to phone calls. Anybody who is listening to music via Bluetooth has ZERO right to be telling anyone about sound quality. Bluetooth was made for printers, mice, and phonecalls. Yes, I know about aptx, it still sounds like absolute fucking shit. If you can't tell the difference between a real CD and bluetooth, your stereo is pure, unadulterated shit, and therefore, there's NOTHING wrong with stock.

>>17718967
Bluetooth 4.1 has a fuckload more bandwidth, much lower latency, and barely uses any power. Stop using chink speakers with bluetooth 2.0

>>17718983
Bluetooth 4.1 has a sustained real world throughput under 200kbps. A CD has a throughput of 1,411kbps.

Any idiot can see that a CD blows bluetooth out of the water, and CD isn't even the best, that would be SACD (DSD). SACD was invented because CD wasn't the end-all be-all that Sony and Philips thought it would be back when it was invented in 1982.

>>17718983
>>17719034
Bluetooth 5 has a throughput of 2mbps

CDs BTFO

>>17719034
>dead standards

>>17719034
CDs are also uncompressed and the loudness wars have lead to a death in actual mastering of CDs to take advantage of the full fidelity since basically the mid-90s. What's your point here?

>>17719034
>all of this autism over audio quality in a car

>>17719132
I only buy original pressings of CD's for use in the car or vinyl for the house, not "remastered" bullshit.

So, what we have here is
>compressed at engineering new music and recrapstered older music
>compressed more with mp3
>compressed even more with Bluetooth

If you do away with the horsehshit mp3 and Bluetooth, at least you have some semblance of a chance of not killing your ears.

Tell you what: on a mid range, mass market home stereo, nothing even that fancy, do this experiment:

Get an original LP of Fleetwood Mac's Rumours
Get an original CD of Rumours
Download an iTunes mp3 of Rumours on an iPod run through a dock
Rumors on the iPod via Bluetooth

Now, listen to all 4. If you can't hear the difference between all 4 formats, you're deaf as a post.

You're confusing me with one of those fucknuts.

There is a difference between *formats* and mathematics can prove that. There's no fucking difference between $15,000 speaker wires and 50¢ worth of copper lamp cord. Electrons are electrons, copper is copper.

>>17719205
No, but I do go to a lot of bars and concerts to listen to live music. I used Rocksmith on my Xbox to teach myself to play the bass really, really shittily, too.

I do love music.

>>17719211
Music in a $300 Civic is gonna sound like shit regardless of format. What's your point?

>>17719175
Assuming I'm using non-shit equipment it's all about equal. I'm sure you're going to lecture me on the quality and warmth of LP sounds, but taking an MP3 through iTunes vs. using a 256/320kbps CBR MP3 or V0/V2 VBR vs. lossless audio compression vs. CD. The equipment matters more, particularly the DAC. And the DAC as a line out from a lot of cellular phones is utter fucking dogshit.

By the way I can hear the difference between lower bitrates and MP3 320 CBR but lossless is not an even split, it depends on the music. At the point at which I'm doing so I'm eyes closed trying to tell the difference between music rather than enjoying it. Lossless has technical merit as well as preservation/use in commercial production but practically day to day with all the cognitive load of driving a car, it will make zero difference.

The absolute best tuners ever put into a car radio was the Schotz II tuners in the old Proton decks. Those haven't been made in probably 30 years though.

Next best would be the Pioneer SuperTuner III's. I'm pretty sure the aforementioned DEH-80PRS has that tuner.

>>17719669
So if I upgrade my head unit all I need is an extra tuner?

>>17719706
The tuner is built in to what ever HU you choose. Just know that some decks have much better tuners than others. Again, Proton, best ever. Pioneer, second place.

>>17719260
if you want a decent source for AUX in at the budget- older iPods / Sansa Clip+.
At slightly higher budget- stuff from Fiio

These probably cost around a 6-pack of beer used in US, and provide a DAC good enough for it not to be the weak point.

>>17719852
It's pointless because the entire fucking car is a weak point unless you're in an S Class which straight up isolates you from outside road noise

>>17719876
Actually, no.
Even the "more less not shitty" setup i had in a goddamn miata could produce a difference between my phone and the sansa i use.
Seriously- mobile phone DAC are horrible.
Of course not while doing 100mph on highway, but on a slow chill ride at night- noticeable.

>>17720210
Then get the DEH-80PRS. It's quite literally the only <$300 new aftermarket HU that's actually better than pretty much any given factory deck. Buying one of those, you're guaranteed to be better than what you have now. Anything else is a crap-shoot at best. Might be as good, probably will be worse.

Radio sensitivity is given in decibel-femtowatts (DbF) and the lower the better.

I have the civic Ex so the radio has a CD player/cassette player. everyone swears that the stock stereo on anything is complete trash and the first thing I should change is the head unit

>>17723494
We've told you what to do. Either get a proper Aux adapter for your stock stereo, or better yet, get the Pioneer DEH-80PRS, but keep your stock unit in a closet in case you ever sell the car. Nobody gives two shits about a fancy stereo during resale, and not having a factory unit in the car actually hurts resale value.

>>17721686
You're a legit fucking retard. A powered sub like that will barely give you anything.

Stop being a little bitch yourself, and buy a proper sub if you want bass. a p300-10/12 will do the job properly, and if you're not a fucking retard(doubtful by your posts) then you'll sound deaden your car, including the trunk, and turn gains down adequately.

Repeat ad infinitum. He's not wrong either, that slim sub is a pile of shit. They all are.

I can read all day, but this video doesn't prove your point whatsoever.

>>17726236
>cars totally aren't made out of metal
>and even if they were, the metal in cars totally doesn't ring

Yeah, absolutely no bearing.

>>17726246
Link a video that shows comparison in a car with and without or some other form. Otherwise you're just talking out of your ass at this point.

>>17726256
There are literally scores. You asked for a video proving it works, I gave you a video proving it works. Anything else is on you.

>>17726273
>I gave you a video proving it works
Yeah, on cymbls. Not in a car... Are we really going to go down this road?

>>17726277
If you're that fucking dense that you can't see that it reduces vibrations and therefore noise, there's nothing further I can do to help you.

>>17726290
Yeah you're right, it does exactly that. But we are clearly arguing whether or not it's good in a car or sounds good enough as a difference to be done in a car.

You seem to be very angry for literally no reason senpai.

Take my experience with a grain of salt because I am extremely easily pleased with car audio.

I bought these for my truck

And for the record I dont know what the fuck is going on with that sub's price. I bought it like 3-4 weeks ago for $79.99, it's definitely not worth $200

But considering it at the price I paid which was about $130 for my headunit, and the all-in-one amp/sub it is more bass than I'd ever need in my truck which is a 97 K1500 Ext Cab. I have it under the back seat and I have it turned down to about 25% and it gives me the bass I was missing. I don't want it thudding.

I love it, it does everything I wanted and takes up practically no space.
If you can find one still in the $70-90 range I'd recommend it - but im not sure what the reason is for the current massive price increase and it's probably not worth anywhere near that compared to other full sub/amp setups you could get.

>>17726277
dude you are fucking stupid, the video clearly demonstrates audibly what dynamat does using cymbals as an example, all you have to to is use your imagination to extrapolate the results to a car
but you probably haven't got the brainpower to do that so here you are demanding someone give you a very specific youtube video so your autism can be calmed. fucking kill yourself.

>>17726327
Yes it demonstrates what it does. However, what it doesn't do, is demonstrate it in a car.

Yeah it will reduce noise and vibrations... But how different would it sound?

You need to calm down, you angry little man.

It appears Rockville is just jacking the prices up, since people are starting to catch on that they actually are top notch under the seat subs. If you look, you can see that other retailers are selling both the 8" and 10" versions at their respective $115 price points. It's just the initial hook on Amazon that is exorbitantly priced.

>>17726463
i apparently lucked out then. I wanted one of the nicer ones like posted above but went for the Rockville since it was cheaper - figuring I'd take the chance on what appears to me as an offbrand. But quality I found was pretty damn good for as much as I know about audio.

Still can't say I'd pay the almost $200 on amazon now.
I'd still consider it at the $115 though it is at other retailers.

>>17724647
already doing that, replaced the rear ones but still have yet to replace the front because honda decided to be weird as fuck and build the front speakers to have standoffs on them, so I need a mounting kit

>>17726533
Exactly, the price point is what set the Rockville subs apart. Without sounding like a fucking shill, they really are the best under the seat/low profile subs on the market, purely because they're nearly half the price of the competition and perform just as well. Rockville's other stuff if hit and miss, but those two subs are really, REALLY nice.

Like you said, for anything 200 and above, it's better to just go for an actual sub in box w/ amp combo, because for anything more than 120 there are better options to be had.

If that guy asking for low profile subs to fill out his bottom end wants something, then Rockville is the only brand I'd recommend. RF and equivalent are all close to $200, thereby making them bad price propositions.

I asked for a video to make the other guy shut up. I know sound deadening works very well. I just wanted to point out how ludicrous the argument was.
>>17726256 isn't me

anyone got a basic guide on how to soundproof your car for better audio?

Any tips on what would be good in a VW Golf Mk4 3 door? Also, is it worth it replacing the Beta radio for a Gamma? I dont wanna get anything aftermarket cause Im worried it wouldnt work with the VW CD changer.

>Buy Dynamat/Noico/Fatmat/Soundskins/whatever
>Find place to apply your sound deadening material
>Put %70 or above rubbing alcohol onto a microfiber towel, and rub until clean
>Put the sound deadener on
>Press with a roller until it is no flat
It's so easy, a retarded Redditor could do it.

Don't use the sound deadening mat for the floorboards, though, as it is counter intuitive to increasing audio fidelity, and only serves to muffle any incoming audio waves. You only use that stuff if you want a whisper quiet ride, NOT if you want to increase your audio output. Sound deadener won't make your car into a Rolls, but it will quiet it down by about half or more, depending on how bare metal your shitbox is.

>>17727404
Ahh. I thought you *were* the other guy. My apologies.
