For those who owns one atm, how does the sound system sound? Is it good? How is the sub woofer? Is it worth the extra weight to the car? Will anyone be installing aftermarket ones or maybe remove them for weight reduction? Thanks in advance. :)

It's the same in the sport touring hatchback. It sounds good. Wish the subwoofer had more power.

I kinda new that the subwoofer would be weak like my 2013 si. Anyone modded theirs already or at least planning to? Let us know what do you plan to install in.

I'm actually very pleased with the audio system in my R. I think its a good balance between bass and clarity. It really compliments the exhilarating driving experience on the back roads! ;)

Are the speakers just generic factory speakers? Anyone look at them yet?

By turning up the bass and subwoofer settings I actually enjoy the sound system :)

But then again I daily a 1995 Civic coupe with 4 JL 6.5in speakers so I'm not hard to please! Lol

It's pretty good! No complaints so far. The woofer is just right for my liking, as I'm not a huge fan of super loud booming bass. With the windows down going 75 mph on the highway and volume set at 17-18, it was still very clear and enjoyable to listen to.

Actually mine seems to have something wrong with it as there is hardly any bass and it seems that there is hardly any power going to the rear speakers when I fade to the back. Could this be a software issue or just weak speakers?

The speakers do the job, but they definitely are not as crisp as some mid to high end components.

Replaced the sub with a Jl 8" and it sounds so much better. Will replace the mids in due time, but the system will do fine for a bit.
