audio set-up for beginners [continued]

[troscat]

"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.



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.

Heto Boss Sleepcare yong wiring diagram ng setup ko, baka pwede na yan. Nahihirapan kasi ako mag attach ng image.

Thanks.

Qoops! Bakit nag move yong ibang characters. Dapat under sa LOC at 4Ch. Amp respectively yong nasa tabi hindi sa HU. Sorry.

Actually good to know that you know the wiring diagram of your build.

Here's what i can help (tune by ear):

-Reset the LOC gain to the middle
-Reset (sagad sa counter-clockwise) the gain of channel 1&2 and channel 3&4)
-Switch to FULL instead of HPF for channel 1&2 and channel 3&4
-Do a pink noise (unoccupied radio station will do)
-Turn the amplifier gain clockwise until you hear clipping
-Do the same for the gain sa other channel
-Play a familar song to you
-Check if pwede na yung tunog. If not, do the gain again.

Or you can use a digital multimeter if you have 1 laying around.

PM nalang tayo if you have other inquiries or we can use the thread para malaman din ng iba. Hehe i think part of the thread naman yung concern mo

Thanks for this Boss Sleepcare.

Balita na lang ako kung ano maging resulta.

Thanks again.
