Same price range bro? Maybe your brother uses a more expensive android unit, like what d3 and growl is selling?
The one i posted is uber cheap, baka cheap sq rin [emoji28]

This is it and you are correct, it isn't cheap. He said around 20k, but he can't remember the exact price.

No problem since he had it for about 3 years. He is using hotspot for internet as he isn't sure if it has a slot for simcard.

I'm not aware if this is good when it comes to sound quality. As far as the basic use is concerned, or at least the way he use it, my brother is fully satisfied.

With that budget I was able to upgrade the sounds of my Montero Gen3 kay Jeff of Araneta. All Pioneer - speakers front/back (include tweeter), active subwoofer, amplifier, deadening. Now the sound quality is much better.

I drive a 2017 vios J it doesnt have rear speakers as stock so I had some sony coaxials put in. Now im thinking of adding a sub or getting component speakers up front. Would it be worth it? or should i invest in a better headunit first? the stock headunit has one pair of rca so i think it would be fine if i got a sub.

Since the rear are coaxials I would assume that the soundstage is now pushed at the rear. The stock VIOS speakers are just plain speakers. Technically speaking, your rears are now better sounding that those in front and might push the soundstage towards the rear.

For me, a better sounding system consist of a better soundstage plus adequate power.

I have a VIOS E and I've replaced the stock HU with a Pioneer X595BT. Immediately, the sound became better and louder. The time alignment feature provides great improvement in the sonic quality. Even listening to AM radio became enjoyable as the sound doesn't sound as diffused unlike in the stock HU. The vocals appear to be in the center (this of course, after time alignment trial and error adjustments).

My next project now is to have some deadening and the stock speakers replaced as I can now hear rattles during mid-volume.

Wow!!! Gaganda

INPUTS please. What choices do I have when it comes to DSP that is capable of IOS (IPAD,IPHONE) tuning? Wala na akong PCs and LAPTOPS since I migrated to MAC and IOS. Ayoko naman bumili ng laptop just to tune my DSP. Suggestions guys?

I am currently setting up a budget for a good-enough system.

Car: 2014 Mazda 3
Budget: 20-30k
Source: Spotify Premium over Bluetooth.

Two options:
1. Get an all-branded (JBL most probably) seps-amp-sub setup in one sitting, or
2. Get seps first (20k budget), then amp (no idea) then sub staggered over a few months.

Will I hear a difference in quality between options 1 and 2 considering my source? I don't think I will be upgrading to any high-end formats any time soon. I don't even have CDs anymore

Mickey's 50k Hertz package is tempting.

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

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.
