audio set-up for beginners [continued]

[JohnM]

*JohnM - ask Mickey if he has a Focal or DLS package. I'd with any of those two brands. Maybe third option is Morel.

Based on the feedback here my first choice will be Morel. I like it warm. Haven't auditioned any brand yet though so I'm open to other options. I won't go above 20k for seps kasi baka sayang lang ang capabilities ng speakers sa use case ko.

imo, both options are good.

i did option 2 sa suv ko, good quality seps saka deadening ng front doors. tonality wise big improvement siya same source as yours spotify saka dap with hi-res music. until now wala pa ako urge to add amp and a sub, ok na ako sa sound ng hu at seps.

i did option 1 sa car at van ko. palit lahat in one sitting. ok din naman if may enough budget ka. isang gastusan na lang, hassle din kasi magpabalik-balik pa sa installer lalo kung malayo ka.

Parang leaning towards option 2 din ako. Less invasive and baka masaya na ako sa simple speaker upgrade and deadening lang. Ayoko kasi maglagay ng amp under the front seats so if they put it in the trunk may woodworks pa kelangan to install it somewhere that won't affect the luggage space much. Will still depend kung anong speaker ang kayang i-drive with the stock HU. Will definitely listen to the installer's advice when the time comes.
