Hi cyrusblutrooper,

PBWY!

Just a couple of questions if you dont mind.

1. What type of sound are you after? Clarity? Super bass? or Best of both worlds?
2. Do you really want bass?
3. What type of music do you usually listens to?
4. What are the current units you have? Is the CD Changer MP3 playable (this is to see if it is compatible still to new HU, because it might go to waste)?
5. RF Amp na 5.1. Does it mean it have 5 channels? Maybe at the back or sides of the amp, there is the model number? If there is, please list so that we can make use of its full potential. Sayang kasi its RF pa naman.

Please advise.

Thanks!

hello poringdrops,

ang gusto ko sigurong set up ay yung best of both worlds, kasi may time na hip hop ang gusto ko may time naman senti ako, kahit rey valera songs dumadaan na gustong gusto ko.

bass, ok, para pag hip hop ang type pwede kung e crank it up.

my HU DEH-P4750MP and my CD changer is a sony but i doubt it will play mp3s bad trip nga minsan, tumatalon o nag error and CD changer ko baka madumi na o ang mga CDs ang may problema.

ang amplifier ko ay rockford fosgate di ko na malaman kung anong model pero im sure its a 5 channel. wattage di ko rin alam. luma na kasi eto mga yr 98 pa cguro yung model na ito, basta gray ang body then yung heatsink ay aluminum anodized red. di ko na rin ma search sa net ito phased out na ata yung model na ito.

BTW, FYI naka install na yung HU, CD changer with stock speakers of trooper (4 or 6 speakers, i really dont have an idea).

please give me an idea kung magkanong budget ang kailangan ko pag gagamitin ko na yung AMP ko. mid to high end ok sa kin. kailangan ko pa bang palitan ang stock speakers ko o dagdag na lang + subwoofer. please assist me naman, wala ako talagang idea pag dating sa sound system, nanghihinayang nga itong mga kabarkads sa AMP ko gusto nilang hiramin, ayaw ko nga. TIA

Hi cyrusblutrooper,

PBWY!

It seems that the amplifier is a good and powerful one. Great!

Go to a shop and let the amp be installed first.

Since it is with 5 channels:
2 channels will be used for your front speakers
2 channels will be used for your rear speakers
1 channel will be for subwoofer

The thing is if the power output of the amplifier does not match the stock speakers like the amplifier overpower the speakers, that is the time you need to change the speakers to an rms and max power matching the amplifier.

If you are no longer contented with your current speakers and want to change it to a high end one with better sound in both clarity and mid range, then by all means do get a new separate speakers (this is a pair of speakers with a tweeter for high frequency output of sounds and a woofer for mid low frequency output of sounds and a crossover which is the unit that regulates the frequency of high and mid frequency so that the sound produced out of the speakers are clean and crisp and correct for the speaker).

A DLS speaker brand is good. This is of the same level as the Infinity. A pair of these range from 6,000 to 7,500.

A more clarity one will be Boston Acoustics Pro Series which will cost at around 20,000 to 30,000 pair est. (I am still checking on the price of this one.) Last time I inquired, its 24,000 if I recall correctly.

For a subwoofer, I am currently using a 12" Boston Acoustics Pro Series matched to a Kicker 800.2 Class D Amplifier and I LOVE THE BASS!

The time I install this sub with amp, it already cost me PhP 35,000 and that was in year 2003 so price now might differ a bit. You can go for a BA sub also or a Kicker or RF or any other fancy brands.

For HU, if you are still contented with the 4750MP, then no need to change them at all. However if a CD changer is of your liking, then I would suggest that you get a new Pioneer CD Changer that can also play MP3 as well and hook it to the current HU.

I will inquire of the prices this week and will get back to you. Since you've mentioned mid to high end will be ok with you then I'll inquire good brands and will let you know the prices so that you can estimate the amount to budget. A rough estimate will be around 50,000. Will know the prices first then will let you know.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions. Glad to help.

Thanks!

Hi F1fireserpent,

Peace Be With You!
