audio set-up for beginners [continued]

[jhnkvn]

Sir jhnkvn,
Newbie lang po. I want to upgrade my hu sa cefiro 2003. Single din ito but pwede gawin na 2 din. But gusto ko pa rin magamit ung oem steering wheel control nito. Any suggestions kung ano hu pwede ipalit and kung saan pwede ipa install. Thanks.

Really depends on your budget. Sa totoo lang, nothing really "stands out" when it comes to head units. The pricer ones would get you more features such as a better screen (for 2DIN units) with more resolution, better tuning features, bluetooth, etc.

There's a lot of shops which you can purchase units from and have them installed. But most people simply do a trip to car mecca, Banawe. This is because the concentration of shops there make it a breeze to negotiate thanks to competition. Notable ones who specialize in car audio installations are Ginza, Candyshop, Jetcar, C3, and Maspro. But installation of a head unit is more straightforward than not, chances are, all shops in Banawe could do it.

Good day mga sir, any suggestions for 35k SQ set up? Without sub woofer muna. TIA

An excellent head unit goes first: secondhand 9887s go for >10k.
Set aside 10k for speakers.
Set aside 5k for deadening the front doors.
And the rest of the 5k for wiring and installation.

Now your challenge left is to find somebody who's experienced in tuning the 9887. To be more frank than not, not everybody and not every car audio shop knows how to use the full potential of the 9887. This is why upscale car audio shops like Mickeys, JC Car Audio, BluPrint/Musico exists ;) aside from their installation works, what you pay for is their tuning capabilities.
