audio set-up for beginners [continued]

How far are you willing to stretch the budget? Will that only be the price of the components or lahat-lahat na? Based on these two questions, I think I could suggest a few things.

As for your PM:
My rule of thumb is that anything more than 6,000php should be accompanied by an amplifier. This is because you're not utilizing even HALF of the capability of your speaker. Stock head units typically output around 14W RMS power.. compare that of the nominal 80W RMS most speakers need. Of course, watts is dependent on the amount of decibels (which sensitivity is also part of but let's leave that out).. so if you're listening to the radio as background music, you won't need an amplifier really.. but if you're the type to crank the music to at least 90 decibels while driving alone, please do get one.

As a suggestion, get the most sensitive speakers you can find at a budget. A higher sensitivity rating means that to needs less power to output X decibels compared to a lower sensitivity speaker.

as of the moment i could only throw out a budget of 15k.(including installation and wirings). Now im thinking of just getting a descent set of separates(front) + amp. If this is the case, what specific model of separates and amp would you suggest? I usually use my old ipod/CDs as the source . sensya na sir dami questions. hehe. Thanks
