audio set-up for beginners [continued]

[nori]

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.

thanks sir. will scout for 16AWG muna.

and yes, i only plan to purchase a head unit with CD, AUX, and USB (+iPod) functionality. Bluetooth is useless to me. apparently my target HU can accommodate only four speakers. ill change speakers later on.

my purpose sa deadening is to reduce outside noise sana, considering this is an old vehicle and door shell is lawanit only.
