CD player that matches 4g dash lights? - Honda Prelude Forum

Blamo · 11-26-2007, 01:41 AM

My cd player just took a dump, so I'm in the market for another one. My old one was a Pioneer DEH-P6500. I might try to get another used one since they do not make that model anymore, but I'm afraid that it will just quit on me like mine did.

So my question is which cd player would match my dash lights the best? The Pioneer I had was kind of turquoise and green so it wasn't too off. I have EL guages and JDM climate control so matching the color is the most important thing to me, haha. Thanks guys!

*Edit* Well what I REALLY want is a BB4 DSP Radio, but I know I wont find one of those lying around somewhere! Haha..I guess if someone knows where to get one or where they have seen them for sale at would help.

The only ones that I've found match our interior lighting are the older Pioneer radios. It's too bad that the new Pioneers use BRIGHT blue lights now. As for a DSP radio, I saw one on ebay a few days ago.

Yeah a couple of weeks ago I saw a the radio part of the DSP system but it was BB2...and was missing the equalizer part. It's a double din setup correct?

If I'm not mistaken this is the BB4 Gathers DSP unit.

If I was to find this unit by chance, what would be needed to be done to make it work in my car? Just wiring correctly?

There were two dsp setups for 4th gens, a standard one and a Gathers one. Both were double din. Correct, you'd have to wire it correctly and acquire one of the center channel speaker options that came with the corresponding dsp systems.

I would be seeking the Gathers bb4 unit, but would i NEED the gathers center speaker? I have the DSP center speaker.

I've never been able to get my hands on both units so I can't attest to the difference in sound quality. But they should both work the same. As a center channel speaker, there isn't going to be tons of sound coming from them anyways.
