Which company speakers are in the Honda Accord?
The speaker brand for the Honda Accord depends on the model year and trim level. In short, Honda’s base systems use standard, non-branded speakers from the carmaker’s supplier, while higher-end trims offer a premium audio option from Bose.
Audio options by trim and year
The following overview explains which trims are typically associated with a premium Bose setup versus the standard system, with the understanding that availability can vary by year and market. If you’re shopping, always verify the exact configuration on the window sticker or in the official brochure for the specific model you’re considering.
- Base models (such as LX and Sport): Standard multi-speaker system built to Honda’s own specifications; not marketed as a Bose or other branded premium system.
- Mid-range trims (such as EX and EX-L): In many markets, higher trims offer the option or inclusion of a Bose premium audio system, usually described as a 10-speaker setup with enhanced processing. Availability can depend on the exact year and package.
- Top trims (Touring): Bose premium audio system is commonly standard, delivering higher fidelity with more speakers and often a subwoofer, compared with the base system.
In practice, the premium Bose system is most consistently associated with the top-level trims, and the standard system is what you’ll find in the entry-level versions. Always check the specific model year’s equipment list to confirm which brand is used in your car.
Regional and model-year variations
Across different regions and generations, Honda has adjusted audio offerings. In North America, Bose has been the prominent premium option on higher-trim Accords, while other markets may feature different branding or rely solely on Honda’s standard speakers. The exact speaker count (for example, 10 or more channels) and the presence of a subwoofer or center-channel speaker can change by year and package.
What to look for when checking your Accord’s audio system
To determine which brand your specific Honda Accord uses, use these steps. This helps you confirm if you’re getting the standard system or the Bose premium setup.
- Consult the window sticker or the vehicle brochure for your exact model year and trim; it will list the audio system’s branding and speaker count.
- Check the dash or door speakers for any branding marks (some Bose systems include the Bose logo on grilles or in the owner’s manual specifications).
- Review the infotainment system menu and sound settings; premium systems often include Bose-specific equalizer presets and enhanced sound processing options.
If you’re considering a used Accord, verify the exact configuration with the seller or by checking the vehicle’s build sheet, as configurations can vary even within the same trim across production years.
Summary
The Honda Accord’s speakers are branded differently depending on trim and year. The standard, base audio system uses Honda-supplied speakers without a consumer-brand label, while the Bose premium audio system is the established option for higher trims in many markets, offering more speakers and richer sound. Always confirm the precise configuration for the model year and region you’re interested in, as availability can vary.
