eto target sequence ko:

1. upgrade HU to deh2450ub or similar, just a good brand HU with ample connectivity like USB, AUX, iPod, CD; SD card is a bonus nalang. plus sabay na yung installation ng antenna (stock is broken) and wirings kasi nagpapalya na yung sa driver side door. magpalagay na rin ng standby wiring sa rear passenger doors for the speaker upgrade.

2. install sound deadening on the flooring, doors and ceiling <-is this necessary?

3. upgrade the speakers.

tama ba yung sequence? and magkano kaya mga sir ang ilalaan kong budget for this project? i just want clear music playing in the background, no fancy eardrum-blasting bass with the windows down. lol

also, head units can only accomodate four speakers right? or am i wrong? lol

addendum: ill have this DIY. but first i need to know if tama yung gagawin kong sequence, and yung gauge ng wires. hehe
1. Sound deadening is simply optional as it's expensive for budget setups. If ever you want to, just deaden the doors where you'll be putting the speakers.

2. How many "speakers" can a head unit accomodate depends on their speaker-level and pre-out connections.

3. As for the gauge, you just try to get the the thickest that's sanely possible. I would suggest a 13AWG speaker wire gauge para wala ka na problema.. but 16AWG would do.

And just do it this way:

1. Buy a head unit which you can use its functions (if you don't use Bluetooth, it's kinda useless to purchase a BT capable one right?)
2. Change speakers
3. See if satisfied..
4. Proceed with more upgrades.
