ano ba mas maganda?

SPL or SQ?

plan ko pa sana mag buy ng front and rear speakers, amp and subwoofer

if sa 30k ang budget maganda na kaya mgagawa nun?

Maganda na HU mo. Good for SQ talaga. Forget about rear speakers, akin stock lang rear speakers and medyo naka fade sa front ang sound. Amp and sub nalang + wirings.

A brand new amp is around 15k (solid audio) JBL is a bit cheaper. Get a 4 channel amp. Wirings, around 3 to 5k. Huwag ka magtipid sa wirings. Sub for SQ Around 4 to 5k. Pwedeng RE na entry level or rockford. 8 or 10" will do. Save sa trunk space. Box and labor around 4 to 5k din.

With the 30k budget, maganda na yun sure since may HU ka na

What do you consider a good HU? I went shopping the other day, they all have the same features but the price range from P10k to P30k. Nakita ko puro Alpine, Kenwood, JVC, and Pioneer.

They're all 50wX4, mp3 capable, USB, CD. Isn't P10k good enough to allocate para sa HU as long as good brands ang piliin tulad ng Alpine, Kenwood, JVC, and Pioneer? Hindi ba sa speakers at sub ang magdedetermine ng sound quality? I think the higher end P30k HU will have features like 7 band graphic equalizer, DSP chip and other gizmos that will allow you to manipulate the sounds. It's very complicated trying to learn these things.

i consider a good hu kapag maraming puwedeng galawin sir for the refinement ng tuning. Like for example sa sinasabi kong cda 9887 (price is around 15K more or less), puwede siyang pang active 3way separates, marami siyang features like graphic and parametric equalizer. You have the control over your sound. Pero it's not always the case, kasi kahit simpleng hu lang ang meron, marami na ring mga gadgets as of now, like mga line driver, processors and the likes na puwedeng ikabit sa hu para magkaroon ng control.

It will also depend on what you are trying to achieve. kasi if SQ, kailangan karaniwan maraming adjustment para sana maka compensate sa flaws ng gamit or installation. Kapag spl naman, not that great on requirement yata, i said yata kasi hindi ako masyado sa spl. basically, iyung budget is puwedeng pandagdag sa gears na lang aside sa high end na hu.

this is just for me sir, not in general. just want to help in a way

Sir baka sakali maka visit kayo sa kotseaudioclub.com wesbite. mas detailed maibibigay nila sa inyong tulong, unlike sa akin amateur!

Hi all,

I'd like to purchase an audio set-up para sa 2009 Montero Sport ko. Habol ko is Sound Quality (konting SPL wouldn't be bad, pero di siya priority).

These are the other things I'm looking for:
1. A headunit that has USB/iPod interface + front AUX in + Bluetooth Phone Connectivity + DVD receiver na sana that can play pati DivX movies
it can be 2 DIN or single lang with motorized panel.
2. I also want to include headrest monitors so my kids can watch from the backseat
3. everything else (yung speakers ampli wala na akong alam eh)

Budget ko all in including labor would be P40,000.

Kaya ba'to?

**yakult** · March 31st, 2009 02:04 PM

^^also, I'm not particular sa brands, siguro except sa head units.

so if u can suggest yung mga amp subs based on specs or size (pwede ba yun) so that when i look around na, kahit san ako mapapdpad, more or less alam ko yung dapat na hinahanap ko, irregardless of brand. thanks!

Hi guys, I am new here, and would like to upgrade my Honda SiR's audio system. Wife does not want to sell it since its our first car, so kung di ibebenta, pagandahin na lang since we will be keeping it forever.

We changed the head unit around 4 years back, upgraded to a Pioneer MP3 player, cannot remember the model though, I was thinking of spending around 80-100k for the system. What would you suggest for this price range? (sama na siguro ang single DIN na headunit na may motorized LCD, balak ko na rin i pa kabit lahat sa pro, so kasama na rin labor). Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Try mo punta kay Jetcar. Pa quote ka sakanya. Sa 80-100k maganda na yan talaga. Since DVD HU gusto mo usually mga 30-50k na agad yan. Then mga 40-50k for the Seps, Amp, Sub, Wirings, Box and Labor.

Pwede ka Mar RE SR10 or SR12 na sub. Then RE na 4 channel amp then Morel Tempo or Rainbow na seps.
