audio set-up for beginners [continued]

[Sportivo 7]

To all Bros /tsikotcitz,
Got Sportivo 2007, 3rd row facing front/folding. Contemplating to "upgrade" my current factory sounds.Newbie din si ako, but loved music and prefer to hear from affordable gadgets. Sa nakita ko sa mga kotse..the so-called "box" is medyu larger in size.This is a question in my thoughts,how to apply on my unit behind the 3rd row seat when sometimes I got baggages in there.Meron pa kayang other options to have a modest sound set-up sa kagaya ng unit ko rear areas usage(dont like roof basket provision)?
Thanks all.

Sportivo,

Easiest way is just to get a decent HU, a 4 channel amp a pair of seps for the front stage. I normally dont use rear fill but since the Crosswind is a big car then you may want to use a pair of coax for the rear. Ask your instaaller if he can fit a 8 inch shallow mount sub in a small sealed box under the front seat. I've seen pics of this done in a innova. IIRC, they used Polk DB subs. It wont give you monster bass but it should sound good. Mind you it wont be easy to do.

Or just get a small sealed box and put the sub at the cargo area. Sealed boxes are usually smaller than ported boxes. They are also more accurate and musical. However, they dont put out as much bass.

If you are willing to spend for custom work, I've seen a guy install a 8 inch sub on the side of a BMW diesel SUV. It really looked stock. he placed the amps on the other side wall. But that kind of setup will cost big bucks. Be prepared to shell out mucho money for custom fiber glass works.

mga sirs, I'm wondering if what is the best source for a head unit (Pioneer DEH 4250) in terms of music quality output. my choices are:

1. Flash disk (USB)
2. iPod (USB + you can control it in the HU itself)
3. iPod (AUX)
4. Android phone (AUX)

Flash disk and iPod via USB (Line-Out)

iPod and Smartphones via USB or AUX will sound different when played inside the car. Reason is, they have their own equalizers and it messes up your already tuned set up. Better go with the Flash Disk. The HU plays the songs directly and the sound of your MP3s will depend on the HU settings itself (or your ears). Find FLAC/Loseless songs, as per Sir jhnkvn's advise. But I think your HU will only accept MP3 and WMA file formats. If you can find FLAC/Loseless songs, convert them to WMA instead of MP3. It will sound better according to my ears.

Sir jhnkvn,

I'm going to purchase a JBL GT5-650c seps as an upgrade from my old Pioneer coaxial fronts. Just wanna know if they are better than a/d/s, Lightning Lab or Ryan Audio seps (in their own price range and category). Price range is P3,000-below.
