audio set-up for beginners [continued]

I would suggest a step by step upgrade so you would enjoy the difference for every change in your system. Like go with the Seps first and deadening for Phase 1.(Focal seps are very easy to power with an HU). Phase 2 add an amp and so on. If you are not keen on changing the HU, an alternative is to get an external processor to keep the OEM look. I am doing the same on my car.(Progress found in Kotseaudioclub )

Regarding the brands, gladen bought the mosconi/audio system brands wherein he rebrands their amps. mosconi, most of the time matches very well with focal, but there are some certain pairings that does not sound well. Ask your installer which one he recommends because most of the time, that's the pairing he has experience with and has quite some success with it.

On your choices, I choose A. I experienced Flax. It's very different from the previous Focals of yore but retaining the qualities we love on that brand but probably hold off the HU upgrade first as I stated in the first paragraph.

By the way, I also own the current-gen 1.6 Altis. IMO, The stock system does not sound that bad. I would actually rate it a lot better than my CRV's and Montero Sport. Try to break it in first to hear it improve.

Hi mga sirs, I will be getting the Vios j 1.3 m/t, I know that this model's audio isn't that good, 2 lang speakers, any suggestions on how can I improve it? Kahit pa unti unti muna... How about kung upgrade ko muna ang speakers?
