    car: 2009 Toyota Corolla Altis 1.8V
    factory speakers: 2 Tweeters, 2 front speakers (6 inches yata), and 2 rear speakers (6x9 yata)
    headunit: Pioneer AVH-4450BT 2DIN

    what can you suggest mga sirs?

    mga requirements:
    1. below 15k only
    2. as much as possible stock look only (no protruding speaker covers, no mounted tweeters over the dashboard, must use all space allocated for the stock speakers especially the tweeters)
    3. sa 6x9 po ba, ano yung three-way, two-way at one-way? for this setup, what can you recommend?
    4. no amplifiers for the mean time pero gusto ko ready for amplifier na when time and money permits
    5. shop that is an expert in installation for this (within NCR lang sana)
    6. no in-trunk subwoofers (but is it ok kung under-seat subwoofer ang gamitin ko?, I can't compromise storage space kasi )
    7. for general music lang, I just want something more clearer and merong "dating" compared to the stock speakers

    questions:
    1. do I still need to upgrade the wirings kahit hindi wala pa akong amplifier?
    2. is it ok ba na gumamit ng higher wattage speakers kahit hindi ako gumamit ng amplifier? maapektuhan ba yung sound output like mahina yung sound?


    any help would be greatly appreciated mga bossing.
    What I do suggest is ask you car audio installer for his opinions. People charge differently naman kasi so best to give him a budget.

    As for your questions:
    1. I suggest you do. The most important factor of wires is resistance of the wire.. aside from this, you also need to look at their insulation (for noise and electromagnetism). And because resistivity is the most important factor, it's best to change your stock wiring which may be undersized for your future needs.

    Think of it as a hose. Ayaw mo naman ng maliit na garden hose when fighting a fire... you want a bigger hose. That's exactly what a thicker copper wire does to you. Lessen the electrical flow resistance.

    2. Okay ba gumamit? Yes.
    Maapektuhan? Yes.

    An amplifier amplifies your sound (obviously) and this in turn generally affects your sound output. As I said, generally. This is because speaker drivers behave differently depending on their design and construction. Some speakers won't even move with 2W of power.. while some speakers -- scream.

    I want to finish the restoration of my car with a bang.

    The car is a Mercedes W124. The stock speakers are 4" all around.

    I do not want to make any more new holes nor will I want a sub. Also the head unit should look period correct somehow... The budget is 15K...

    Your thoughts are most welcome... By the way, she's been soundproofed all over...

    Then you'll be looking at 4" separates or coaxials. They're more rare though as standard diameter nowadays are 6.5-inches.

    for a 4" coaxial speakers, marami naman mahahanap.

    but for component speakers (seps), ang nakita ko lang na brands ay DLS and Ground Zero. and yes medyo pricey siya. I currently use DLS C4 for my ride. 4" seps. para lang wala nang fabrication na gawin since yun lang kakasya sa side doors ko.

    Thanks for the quick reply... An installer's suggesting DLS separates front and another brand aft.... I can live with the tweeters sticking out a bit on both sides of the dash......

    What about the head unit?

    All of them are in 1DIN and 2DIN formats naman. Choose whatever fits your need.

    I need help in setting up my Hyundai Santa Fe 2012..

    I have 60K Budget for sound setup for Seps, Amps, Deadening and Fabrication and I want it to be SQ setup. Meron na po akong 2 12" Rockford Subs (bought it from a friend. Somebody gave me an idea that DLS seps are good for SQ. Pinagiisipan ko po ung Amps (Mono and 4-ch) kung ano maganda. My question is, anong brand po ang magandang bilhin for Amps for SQ and san po magandang magpafabricate ng lalagyanan ng seps para sa Door? Gusto ko lang po kc na nakaharap ung tweets sa driver and passenger but I don't want it placed sa harap ng kotse. I hope you can help me on this.

    Impossible for you to be truly "SQ" without the use of digital signal processing (DSP) found in aftermarket head units or processors. In both cases, they'll cost anywhere from 25% - 50% of your budget (dashkit included for those who'll be switching head units).

    You can buy expensive speakers but you'll still fail in the SQ quality if you don't control your environment.
