audio set-up for beginners [continued]

Re: Firland Audio

Firland 612 is quite good for the money. We have the 602 in my brother's Civic. For a 3k budget component, it performs admirably.

So ok na ang Firland 612 as part of a decent sound set-up na SQ?

Guys, I need your suggestions...

I'm planning to upgrade my sound system sa Pajero JDM namin. Currently, ang setup niya is a Pioneer 5050UB, Sony 2-way coax sa harap, then 6x9 3-way coax sa likod. I want to achieve a hybrid SQL/SPL sound setup, but leaning towards SQL, say 60/40, in favor sa SQL.

Yun HU ko, isasalpak ko sa Pajero FM namin kasi Jurassic na yun HU nun. Tapos yun from coax ko naman eh ilalagay ko sa FX namin dahil sira na ang speakers nun. I will only retain the 6x9's. Ano ba magandang components para sa gusto kong ma-achieve? I plan on investing on good amps, say price will be around 10k-13k. Medyo cramped ang space ko pala, so I plan a sealed box para sa subs

Seps - ?
Subs - ?
Amp - ?
Sound deadening material - ?

Thanks in advance!

Hmm, no budget on the seps? As a start, I would recommend the Cadence ZRS-6K due to its high sensitivity rating and excellent performance for LnC. This retails around the 6,000php. For sets more than that, you should start looking for raw drivers from Cadence, Beyma, and Ciare (by order of their average price tags).

For the head unit, it's up to you. Many will opt for a 2-DIN head unit from Pioneer such as the 4250/4350 and that would also be nice. If you're focusing more on the sound quality aspect, you might want to check secondhand units of Alpine 9887s which sells around the 10k region secondhand.

For the subwoofer, it really depends on your tastes. How loud do you want it to be? If you're looking of it more from the SPL side, you would focus on this. I would suggest you start with a 15" subwoofer from RE and get the biggest sized box you can find. If space is a premium on your car, going SPL is a bit impossible now so focus on the SQL/LnC aspect.

For the amplifier, you would only need two. A 4-channel and a mono amplifier. For the mono amplifier, you have more freedom on this really. I've heard a Sound Magus mono amp drive a monster 18" subwoofer to deafening levels. However, I would suggest the DC 120.4 and their mono amplifier. Very good amplifiers and you also have brand gravitas to go along with it.

For the sound deadening, you'll eventually know the cost of it once you start playing. Allocate around 5,000php for it since you'll be doing more than deadening the doors. I'm pretty sure your license plate at the back and some windows would start rattling due to the pressure level.

Thanks for that. Hindi kaya maging power hungry ang ganitong setup? I forgot to mention na 90A lang ang rating ng alternator ko, though I'm planning to change my alternator na to a higher rating dahil twice na siyang napapalitan ng rotor. Lastly, would you recommend SNY Customs for sound installation? Thanks!
