audio set-up for beginners (ARCHIVED)

[userfriendly]

ahh pede pala yun dalawang 200x2 bridge sa svc kala ko hindi pwede,, para 400rms na haha,, siguro pag nagkabudget na lang ako saka ako buy amp para sa seps,, salamat po

kunwari dalawa seps ko na tig 100rms 4ohm pede ba na dalawang 120x2 bridge into 4ohm ?

Kala ko dvc ang sub mo kaya sinabi ko na pwede. Kung svc you can not do it.

Kung 100 watts ang seps you can give them 120 watts.

[ammad]

ahh hehe svc po yun sub ko thank you..

[emghee]

hello po!

hingi po sana ako ng advise sa set up ng audio. i am more on bass. tipong bumabayo and sound clarity. may subs ako na 180 watts, 10". 8 ohms sya. Konzert dalawa, tapos may mid range ako ng 5" na 150 watts and tweeter na 80 watts na 3". lahat konzert. di ko alam yung the best na amp na mag mamatch sa ganitong specs na speakers. looking forward for your help.

mga bossing may tanong ako hingil sa matching ng power rating sa pagitan ng amp at speaker. ang dami ko na napuntahan website sa pagresearch kaso pare-pareho sinasabi nila dapat yun AMP equal o mas mataas(lagpas kalahati) kaysa SPEAKER daw.

so kun ang speaker ay 100w dapat daw 150-200w ang AMP (in rms). hinde ko makuha ang dahilan kasi logically dapat speaker ang mas mataas kasi parang masisira yun speaker nun agad. kaya yun ang dahilan kun baket hinde ako makapagdecide kun ano bibilhin sa pag upgrade ng sounds ko sa tsikot. tama po ba ito?

at huli tanong meron po ba kayo alam na mabibilhan ng AMP na may built-in digital surround decoding.

salamat and more power to tsikot!!!

[emghee]

Any suggestion po sa sukat ng box para sa subwoofer ko na 10", 180 watts 8 ohms. konzert lang to.di ko kasi alam yung close to perfect na sukat ng box.

Kaya sinasabi ng iba na dapat equal to or greater yung power ng amp to the speaker ay para ma maximize yung capability ng speaker. Ideal ito pero hindi naman required. Walang masama na mangyayari kung masmababa ang amp mo kumpera sa speaker.

Ang mga speaker ay may recommended power range. Iba iba kada speaker basta nandoon ang power ng amp ok ka. Nasubukan ko na dati magpower ng sub using a RF Punch 45 na tig 25 watts lang kada sub. Ok naman bitin pero di nanman nakasira.

di alam ng karamihan, oero kalimitan nasa 1 watt lang ang binibigay ng amp. Tingnan mo ang efficency rating ng speaker mo. Malimit nasa 80+ to 90 dbs at 1 watt measured at 1 meter. Lakas na. The rest of the watts is there to provide power for the peaks.

Qutoe from Car audio and electronics "leaving subwoofers aside for the moment, unless you are intent on destroying your speakers and your hearing, your ave listening level will require less than 1 watt of power into your main speakers. Just 1 watt into a typical car speaker will produce over 90 db spl. The rest of the amps power is waiting there to deliver very loud, exciting burst in the music. For those peaks, 25 watts per channel will give you over 105 db spl equal to the loudest movie theater sound effects or a live orchestral crescendo.

You get 3 db in reservewith 50 watts per channel. ....... A pair of 10 or 12 inch subs with 50 to 200 watts each should be enough to give you a real nice kick in your bottom end."

mga bossing,
plan ko mag improve ng setup ng audio system ko sa kotse . ang meron lang ako alpine na HU cdm 7871r ata yun. yung rear speakers na 6x9 (stock) sira na. yung front speakes ko sony xplod 2way kaso maliit sya 4inches ata yun (malaki yung opening para sa front speaker ng Mazda 323). San ba ko dapat magsimula? o ano ano ba dapat ko bilhin with 10k budget? pang SQ lang hanap ko.

thanks in advance..

[denwar]

gud day mga sir,

hingi sana ako ng advise, gusto ko kasi iimprove yung sounds ko sa kotse ('02 toyota altis) stock lang kasi. gusto ko yung medyo bumabayo ng konti.advise lang po on what should i buy at kung pwede na may mairecommend kayo na shop na pwedeng pagpakabitan. siguro if my budget permits 20-30k.
thanks in advance.

[trdt13]

good day mga bossing, ask ko lng kng ano mganda setup, gsto ko lng bayo sa loob and music preference ko rnb/hip-hop and alternative songs. budget is 15-20k.i asked mickey's about it abutin ng 20k,eto ung specs na binigay ni sir mickey:

seps: infinity 5010
subs: infinity 1250w
amp: jbl gto75.4

ok nb tong setup na gnto?any suggestions would be much appreciated.thanks in advance po....

ok yan, wala lang HU. Kasama na ba wiring, box and labor? Si Mickey Autosound yan diba? Kung siya ok siya gumawa. Quality. Masmahal compared to other stores but you get what you pay for in terms of quality. Kung kasama na lahat ok yan. He quoted me 22k (yata can't recall exact figure) just for HU, box, amp rack, labor and wiring.

A good installer can make entry level equipment sound better than poorly installed expensive equipment.

[trdt13]

thanks bossing.ang alm ko ksama n kc sbe nya pg dun ako bbli free na ung labor.ung box and wiring sana kasama na rin. any suggestions about other stores na pwede ako maginquire?thanks ulet.

For budget meal setup try Jeff Tan sa Araneta Ave near Big Berts. Di ko pa siya na try so can't comment on his workmanship.

You can also try TEAM Cars sa Banawe. Ok din sila gumawa. Look for Kerwin.

IMHO lng po it depends naman sa brand of amp your using like yung mga RF na amps i use to have one 150RMS*4ohms so 75x2 being used on a 2 12" orion subs rated 250min 400 max*4ohms, ok naman then bridged it to one sub mas umokay bigay nung bass rated 150 pero birthsheet is 170 to 180w one of the underrated amps na alam ko at naexperince ko na marami sa kanila old school amps like soundstreams and PPi I thingk right tuning and sub box lng malaki na maitutulong!!!
again IMHO lng po peace

[chris_mazda]

mga sir kabibili ko lang ng car ko, second hand ex saloon ng nissan medyo tape at FM lang laman ng HU nya, gusto ko sana plaitan ng HU na nagpeplay ng CDs taz pede din kabitan ng iPod, may ganun ba, and if so hw much kaya magagastos ko, baka may ;lam rin kayong maayos na shop pasabi naman, Thanks a lot guys!

I agree that with more power you get more headroom and potentially better sound. What I was trying to explain is that it is not necessary to perfectly match power ratings of speakers (mids and high particularly) and amps. And that having your amps produce less power than your speakers power handling capability wll not damage the speakers.

I alos agree 100% that having the right tuning and box will be a great help in making your system sound better.

[james0207]

wat's d difference in 2way n 3way speaker? n anu poh un ms mganda??

[userfriendly]

Two way is tweeter and midbass. 3 way usually tweeter, midrange plus midbass. Sometimes tweeter, super tweeter plus midbass.

Normally ok na 2 way specially kung coaxial ang speaker mo. Pero kung seperater or component speakers, mas preferable ang 3 way.

Pag nagpapatugtog ng malakas for a long time di makahabol ung charging rate ng alternator ko. Malas at walang available na replacement sa labas na mas mataas ang rating. Pag salpakan ko ng secondary battery ung sasakyan, masosolve ba ung problema sa pagpapatugtog ng malakas for a long time (ung mawawala ung tunog) or hindi?

[james0207]

Ano ba ang problem? Can you list your system? Does your amp cut off when you play at loud volume for a long time? If it does, your amp might be going into protect mode. This happens when your amp starts to overheat. Easy solution is to make sure your amps have good airflow. Make sure heatsinks are not dirty or blocked. Also never mount amps upsidedown. You can also add cooling fans or lower your volume.

If that is not the problem, try adding a capacitor. It will give your alternator time to catch up.

James,
Ano budget? Bfrands and equipment will depend on your budget. If you want spl, be prepared to spend on your amps and subs. I'd recommend a ported box with 12 or 15 inch subs. Get an amp that will meet or slightly exceed your subs wattage.

I suggest canvass ka muna. Go to a few car audio shops and ask for their recommended system and price. Kung budget meal, try mo kay jeff tan sa Araneta, midrange try TEAM cars sa Banawe or Ginza or Jett cars. For show car or competition system, you can't go wrong with Mickey's, DB Audio etc..
