audio set-up for beginners [continued]

[chito2011]

Separates can be mounted infront, and we would like to stage to be there not on the back. Separates too tend to sound clearer because each driver can focus on certain band of frequencies.

Not just for separates but for coaxial speakers rin, equalizer is needed to properly tune your sound setup to your taste.

Most HU have built-in digital equalizer, with some more advance than others. If you are an audio enthusiast, then what you want is separate L and R channel equalizer controls. The more bands, the better.

Amplifier is optional only.

So ano mai a advise nyo sa akin mga paps? what brand can you recommend me, affinity, polk audio, focal? oops mahal yata yung last kong nabanggit he he he. if my 5k ako, 2 front speakers muna.. kahit stock lang ng Toyota ang HU.. ang type kong music ay pareho kame siguro ni sientobente, medyo mahilig ako sa tunog acoustic (or more of a strings sounds ang kumakalma sa akin he he he).

I think Auditor Audio sir should fit your budget, it is also developed by Focal. It has very similar qualities where it does have that lively sound signature Focal has.

Buy anything within your budget. Most of them roughly sounds the same lang naman. Sound differentiation starts quite late once materials start dictating the sound signature.

My vote? You go for local - Targa, Ryan Audio, Firland Audio. Or you can go international - JBL, Pioneer, etc.

I forgot, there is a cheaper sep that sounds lively too, the Audio System MX165. I think this only cost around 3.5k. Auditioned one from my installer mounted on sail pods in a mirage then they added deadening. It has good potential. The amp that was powering it was a JBL A604.
