    There's not much differentiation in the Php5,000-10,000. Reason for this is that most of them use the same cone material with a slight variation in tweeter material (which is usually a soft dome because they're cheap and even if they're budgeted still sound good). In fact, you might want to focus instead on choosing your installer.

    Why? Because if the materials themselves don't really differ much. The next variable will be the installer's knowledge and experience of which will affect the sound quality by a huge margin depending on his installation. The installer should first be accustomed to his product and should know how to properly install them for it to sound the best.

    Which installer do you recommend sir? I've heard about ACA, jetcar and C3, any comments on these installers? Any one of them you recommend the most/one that I should avoid? TIA!

    All of them are still reputed. Just know that every industry has its low-mid-high budget ranges. ACA and C3 is on the low while JetCar is mid-high. To be honest, there's a lot of good installers in Banawe. Sayang that Candyshop has relocated na (they're my top recommendation dati) so I'd say if I were to build a budget system today.. I'll probably head for Tim's Ryan Audio (he's the younger brother of the owner but also retails other stuff aside from Ryan Audio; he also installs sa garage) or Vince's Maspro -- both of them in Old Banawe. Sa "New" Banawe, probably I'll head to Auto Intensity. If I'm looking for a medium budget, I'd look elsewhere na or kay JetCar pwede din.

    Yes sir, still the FS260 on the Swift. It is paired right now with the Gladen M95.4. Avoid the Flux amp, ang dami nagsasabi substandard ang quality plus my friend said it sounded dry. I think, warm sounding amps like Audison, Genesis and Celestra will also match Flux Seps from it's entry level up to it's higher priced variants. Meron din ginawa yung installer ko na paired with the Helix G-Four, maganda din ang pairing.

    Thanks for the advise sir. I am also considering Helix for the amp para sa Flux seps. Good to know na maganda pairing nila How about Rockford amp sa Flux FS260? Ok rin ba sila?
