Jasper,

Ditch the rear fill and use the money to buy a decent amp. You will get better SQ.

Dami Infinity sa Banawe. Should also be available from almost all car audio shops.

Mga audio gurus, plano ko pong iset up ang sound system ng Montero Sport namin. SQ habol ko at 5.1 surround sound. Subs and amps naman under the seats lng, ginagamit kasi ang trunk sa out of town trips. Budget ko 30-40k, ok na po ba yun?

Sa HU may masuggest ba kayong in-dash DVD receiver 7 inch monitor (30-40k). May balak din ako magpakabit ng night vision back-up camera at dalawang 7 inch lcd headrest monitor na may dvd receiver (magkano kaya ?).

OK ba ang ganitong set-up?

HU: JVC KW-AVX810
Seps: JBL GTO607C
Rear: JBL GTO607C/GTO927
Amp: JBL GTO1004
Sub: 8” or 10” Pioneer /Sony Xplod Slim Sub (Kailangan pa ba ng amplifier?)

How much po ang aabutin nito? Advisable ba na to go JBL power series sa speakers and amplifier?

May marecommend ba kayong reputable installer, if possible manila area only. May nabasa ako sa ibang page na ok si jeff tan, saan po ba sa araneta shop niya, from sm santa mesa ako manggagaling.

HU: Jensen VM9021TS/9511TS
Seps: JBL P660C
Rear: JBL P652
Amp: JBL PX300.4

Still the same question as above decided to ditch the subwoofer since SQ lang naman habol ko, also decided to go JBL Power Series.

no expert here sir, but i suggest you go ported with the box, just have it done with a reliable installer so there would be no regrets or if doing DIY, research as to what frequency should it be tuned and the size of the box, and port. Regarding sa vibrate sa likod sir, i think talagang may magiging cibration due o low frequencies, iba naman po iyung rattles, kapag nagkaroon ng ratlles, deadening would greatly help, if not the whole rear, kahit sa problem areas lang.

You know exactly what you looking for, a 5.1 surround sound. Well, get it now... perhaps you will be first one to have this system in the Philippines. Here is the system.

This year, upgrading to a 5.1 multi-channel sound system for the car will be much easier. Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. has announced the first integrated 5.1 multi-channel audio system that combines a high performance DVD Video-based audio visual head unit with the industry's first digital amplifier featuring a built-in sound processor.

Alpine's IVA-D300 DVD Mobile Multimedia Station/MRA-D550 Digital Theater Amplifier combination enables audiophiles to bring the sound impact of a home theater surround sound system to their vehicle at a more affordable price by eliminating the need for a separate sound processor.

The 60W RMS x 5 MRA-D550 Digital Theater Amplifier features built-in Dolby Digital and DTS digital surround decoders that will immerse listeners with 5.1 sound from DVD movies and music. Dolby Pro Logic II is also included, enabling people to enjoy a discreet multi-channel experience from two-channel music formats. Users simply add their choice of speakers and a subwoofer amplifier, such as one of Alpine's V12 AccuClass-D true-digital mono amps, to complete their 5.1 sound system.

The MRA-D550 and IVA-D300 were engineered to work together to deliver a superior sounding, easier to control 5.1 multi-channel system. The MRA-D550 Digital Theater Amplifier connects to the IVA-D300 via Alpine's Ai-NET bus, enabling control of all-digital sound tuning through the head unit's seven-inch retractable monitor. The IVA-D300 monitor uses Alpine's exclusive PulseTouch technology, making it the industry's first touch panel to provide tactile, force feedback-like sensation to a user's fingers for easier control. The PulseTouch technology lets users adjust all DVD menu functions, as well as the MRA-D550's digital parametric EQ, digital time correction and digital crossover, among other sound tuning controls.

"Discriminating music lovers are very enthusiastic about bringing home theater-like sound to their vehicles, but the process can be complicated," said Stephen Witt, Alpine's vice president of Brand Marketing. "Alpine's goal is to remove the barriers that prevent people from upgrading to a 5.1 car audo system. We think the MRA-D550/IVA-D300 integrated system is a great step towards that goal."

Alpine creates an integrated platform concept for mobile multimedia with premium components for digital audio/video media playback, digital broadcast reception, and satellite linked navigation.
