    Bose sound - bad quality sound

    For those who have the same problem and perhaps come across this topic: As a test I have replaced the stock stereo with a Clarion DRX8575RZ. I was told it is a good amplifier that should have no distortions. The bass was indeed better, but at the top power (4x45W) the sound had identical...

    Motor won't go over 3000rpm, VTEC broken?

    When we're on the topic of reading ECU, is the OBDII behind the ashtray?

    Motor won't go over 3000rpm, VTEC broken?

    Thanks again, guys. I don't know if I can read the code anymore, as after I added oil, the "check engine" is gone.

    Motor won't go over 3000rpm, VTEC broken?

    Mango, no disrespect is meant, but your opinion goes against the ones of people with much higher post count. That could mean nothing, but nevertheless, do you have the experience to support your suggestion? I simply would like to avoid spending big money on service if the car runs as before...

    Motor won't go over 3000rpm, VTEC broken?

    Hi again! Thanks for all the hints. Seems it was the oil, I added some and the engine no longer chokes at 3000rpm. The "check engine" light is still on, will try to reset later.

    Motor won't go over 3000rpm, VTEC broken?

    Thanks a lot! Oil was actually the first thing I checked, but the engine was warm, so no conclusion. Was thinking the oil control would go off, but somebody had told be that control only goes off when the failure is really serious. If it is oil, it was changed few thousands km ago. What...

    Motor won't go over 3000rpm, VTEC broken?

    Hi fellows, I'd like your suggestions on this: I was driving down a mountain, braking with the engine which was at about 4000-5000 RPM, when I felt a jerk and the "check engine" light went off. I was on a narrow and dangerous mountain road (the Alps), so I had to go on. After about 10...

    Bose sound - bad quality sound

    The sound in my 1991 Accord was like a concert hall, so I don't get why the 2001 version suck so badly. Yet another question: is it true that some models come with an amplifier under passenger seat, and some not? And is the location of the amplifier different on RH (UK) and LH (Europe) models?

    Bose sound - bad quality sound

    It's not even about listening to boom boom, normal sound is 1) too quiet (as for my liking), 2) strangely distorted - some lows go through, some highs as well, but there's no way to correct it with the BASS/HIGH setting. Something must be terribly wrong. Investing in either a new stereo system...

    Bose sound - bad quality sound

    Hi everybody, I had a 1991 Honda Aerodeck 2.2 with an aftermarket Sony, and the sound was simply amazing. It was 4×35W, and it was enough. Now I drive 6th gen. Honda 1.8 2001. I've read a lot of posts about Bose in 6th gen Hondas, but I'm still a bit confused. My stereo system is horrible...
