audio set-up for beginners (ARCHIVED)

[batang_raon14]

Sa mga nagpakabit kay Jefftan ng sound setup nila, pano pagkakatono for SQ sa V12? Kinalikot kasi ng kaibigan ko at di ko na makuha ngaun ung dating tono. Oks ung tono ni Jeff eh, mahina nga lang ung bayo.

Anyways, kung sino man makafill-up, TIA!

CH. 1-2 (assuming dito ung sa seps):
XOVER: (HPF, LPF, or ALL?)
TREBLE: (0, 6, or 12db?)
BASS: (0, 6, or 12db?)
GAIN: (from min to max, ilang percent lang dapat?)
LPF: (from min to max, ilang percent lang dapat?)
HPF: (from min to max, ilang percent lang dapat?)

Then, sa Ch.3 and 4 naman, assuming na sa sub un, ano dapat setting?

Eto nga po pala setup ko:
Aura 12" 12000rpm
V12 805 (ata?)
DLS Xover
ABC Box
Targa x652c

Hi po mga sirs and madams...

first post ko po ito and sana po matulungan nyo po ako...

I'm planning to buy a Honda Esi 95-96 model or Honda V-tec na same year model

and sobrang gusto ko i set up and sound system nya...

eto po ang question ko...

i listen to rock at hard metal music, pero pag napagtripan ko nakikiking ako ng mga hiphop, trance, house etc....

meron po ba klase ng set up na pwede dito yun parang SQ at SPL sya at the same time? if so ano po set up ang gagawin ko...

base sa mga nabasa ko sa mga previous replies sa thread na ito ito po yun set up (correct nyo na lang po ako if may mali)

HU - siguro gagamitin ko yun stock muna na Head Unit nya...
(front) Seps - 2 x (3way) ano brand po ba maganda?
(rear) Croaxial - 2x ano po brand ang maganda?
Amplifier - ano po ulit brand ang ok?
Subs - ilan po ba ang kailangan ko (gusto ko kasi medyo mabayo e)

pwede po ba na bumili ako ng mga gamit na ito tapos ipa install ko na lang sa shop na magaling sa car audio or meron po ba kayo shop na pwede ibigay sa kin na guaranteed na malupit magset up? tsaka may nakita din po ako ng mga speakers na may neon light sa gilig ano po ba tawag dun?

ang budget ko nga pala is 20-25k...

maraming salamat po sa mga makakatulong...

Since you have a DLS Xover, I will use it instead of your V12's built in cross over. If possible, turn off your V12's cross ver. If you can't, set it to all.

For the fronts, set your DLS cross over to high pass (HP). This will allow only high frequency sounds to enter your seperates. As to the rest, use your ears. The goal is to get the best possible sound without pushing your equipment to clipping.

For the sub set your cross over to low pass (LP). This way, your sub will only play bass.

BTW, adjust in small increments and be carefull with the gain. Its usually not a good idea to push all the way up.

oni_boni,

Since you have a limited budget, this is what I suggest. Canvass ka muna. Most of the time, the shop will install your equipmnent for free if you buy it from them. Kung kabit lang they normally charge around 200 pesos per item.

Seps, cheap but decent: Targa and Crystal
Seps, more expensive but better brands: JBL CS series, JBL GTO series, entry level ng: Focal, DLS, etc... personally, this is where I will put my money.

Amp: you might be limited to Fenton or Alpine V12 (Taiwan or Korea) around 3K pesos. Get a 4 channel amp thats bridgable and has built in cross overs.

Rear: to maximize your budget, just use your stock speakers powered by your head unit. You can even do away with it.

Sub: Targa, Phoenix Gold make cheap decent subs. Get a 12 inch sub. Budget around 2500 to 3000 for a sub box. A sealed box is easier to make and more forgiving. A ported box will give you louder bass.

Wiring will be at least 1000. Note on wiring kits, they are cheaper but are slightly undersized.

Note: budgetary prices are estimates only. Have not check prices for a long time.

Check your wiring specially your ground and power cable baka loose or undersized. Also check your car's ground wire, you might need to upgrade.

Best bet, bring it back to the shop that installed your sub and ask them to check why your dash lights blink.

Its up to you if you want to install a capacitor. How many watts ba ang amps mo, total in RMS? Usually, you install a capacitor if your electrical system can not cope up with your sound system. Common sign is your dashboard lights dim during bass hits.

According to my old Car Audio mag, they recommend 1 farad capacitor for 1000 watts RMS.
