audio set-up for beginners [continued]

[Sleepcare]

Mahal din pala? Akala ko kaya lang mahal yung Kicker setup sa CRV kasi galing Honda. Eh 40k din pala price sa labas so same lang.

"Mahal" is actually subjective when it comes to car audio.

Yung 40k sa labas vs 40k sa dealership actually differs a lot if you'll consider the added equipments that will be used.

For the "40k sa labas", you'll get the following:

-1 pair of 6.5" 2-way seperates (front)
-1 pair of 6.5" coaxials (rear)
-1 set speaker spacer (if needed)
-1 set of door deadening material (outer shell only)
-1 4-channel amplifier
-1 12" subwoofer
-Box for the subwoofer
-Wiring
-Labor

This set varies from shop to shop so better check your friendly car audio shop. Some might take out something and some might add something.

Personally if i were to build a simple system, ganito gagawin ko.

All prices are inflated and wiring/labor price is also an estimate:

Set 1 (underseat sub)
-1 pair of 6.5" 2-way seperates (front)- Pioneer * 5k
-1 set speaker spacer (if needed) * 1k
-Front door deadening (inner and outer shell) * 3k
-2 channel amplifier (powering the front speakers) * 5k
-underseat sub * 10k
-Wiring and labor * 5k

TOTAL - 29k so round off nalang natin to 30k


Set 2 (sealed box)
-1 pair of 6.5" 2-way seperates (front)- Pioneer * 5k
-1 set speaker spacer (if needed) * 1k
-Front door deadening (inner and outer shell) * 3k
-4 channel amplifier (powering the front speakers) * 7k
-12" subwoofer Pioneer * 5k
-Subwoofer box * 2k
-Wiring and labor * 5k

TOTAL - 28k round off nalang natin ulit to 30k

You'll get more bang for the buck sa set 2 but if may space constraints, set 1 should suffice.

Ang main concern ko kasi boss baka hindi level matched yong mga gears. Parang feel ko hindi masyado defined yong separation ng High and Low Frequencies parang may overlapping kaya medyo mudded yong sounds at high volume if that's the right term to say. Matanong ko na rin, aside sa volume control ng HU saan ba dapat ideal mag set ng gain, sa LOC ba or sa Amp? What about yong HPF at LPF ng amp ano yong dapat naka set? Sa akin kasi yong apat na channel naka set siya sa HPF aside sa mga options na LPF at Full.

Sa Cebu pala ako boss Sleepcare.

Thanks.

When i read the bold part ng reply mo, i knew that it is only a setting problem. I need to know your wiring diagram sa amplifier before i'll give suggestions.

LOC gain dapat hindi ginagalaw yan. Dapat nasa gitna lang based on experience. Adjust the gain thru the amplifier only.

There is no perfect hpf/lpf setting kasi we're doing it in the worst environment to produce proper sound (car) so it varies from car to car and equipment to equipment.

Sorry, i can't help sa Cebu area kasi wala ako kilala doon. Nasa Dumaguete kasi yung kilala ko. I'll check with him for Cebu area.
