Acura Vigor Speaker FAQ

Should I upgrade the front door speakers first in my Acura Vigor?

Start with the front door speakers. The 6.5-inch front position handles most vocals and midrange frequencies you actually hear while driving. Replace these with component speakers if your budget allows - separating the tweeter from the woofer typically improves imaging. Coaxial speakers work fine too, though the soundstage won't be as precise. The Acura Vigor's front doors probably need around 50-75 watts RMS to sound decent without distortion.

What's the difference between coaxial and component speakers for the Acura Vigor front doors?

Component speakers separate the tweeter from the 6.5-inch woofer, which means you can position the tweeter higher for better sound staging. Coaxials mount everything in one unit - easier installation but the tweeter sits lower than ideal. Your Acura Vigor might benefit more from components since the door speaker location tends to be fairly low. Most aftermarket 6.5-inch components handle 20Hz-20kHz range better than factory coaxials, though you'll need to wire the crossover separately.

Can I put 6x9 component speakers in the rear deck of my Acura Vigor?

The rear deck location works better with coaxial or triaxial speakers. Component setups need the tweeter mounted separately, but there's usually nowhere good to put tweeters in the Acura Vigor's rear deck area. Stick with quality 6x9 coaxials that handle around 60-100 watts RMS. Triaxial speakers add a small midrange driver but the improvement might not justify the cost. The rear speakers mainly fill in ambient sound anyway.

What impedance should I look for in Acura Vigor replacement speakers?

Most aftermarket speakers run 4 ohms, which matches what your Acura Vigor's factory system expects. Some premium speakers use 8 ohms - these might sound quieter unless you're running an aftermarket amplifier. The factory head unit probably puts out around 15-20 watts per channel, so 4-ohm speakers will extract more power. Don't worry too much about exact impedance matching... modern head units handle slight variations fine.

Should I replace all four speakers in my Acura Vigor at once?

Replace front speakers first, then decide if the rears need upgrading. Front speakers do most of the work - dialogue, vocals, lead instruments. The 6x9 rear speakers mainly provide ambiance and bass fill. If your Acura Vigor's rear speakers still function decently, you might not notice much improvement from replacing them. Better to spend money on quality front 6.5-inch speakers or add a small subwoofer instead of mediocre four-speaker sets.
