Any suggestion/advise. thanks po sa inyo!
My advice is to take it step by step. So that through time you can increase your budget. You can change your HU first. Then Speakers. Amp and Deadening. Finally a Sub. If you'd like to take your audio game another level, add a Processor. For that budget, maybe add a little more and get one of those nice 2-DIN Pioneers. They have basic tuning options but are very useful.

For brands, I'd suggest get one of the established brands so no regrets in the future. Microbrands in my experience has reliability issues. Lately, it's with Flux seps. For some reason, the right tweeter always goes out but cabling is good. Might need to have it replaced. I also didn't appreciate that my speakers went on sale for some reason after acquiring it for just a couple of months. It just proves how cheap Flux is. When I first got it, packaging was basic, and literature is inexistent. It is also even hard to look for specs on these speakers online. What made it worse is the construction of these separates were as simple as Targa components which cost 6x less. It hardly has any branding, and the build looks flimsy. Kinda like generic crap. Next time I'll stick with the tried-and-tested brands like Focal, DLS, Morel, Hertz etc.
