mas malaki ang sound difference between speakers than between head units

i mean if you compare several head units using the same speakers, maliit lang ang difference

pero if you compare several speakers using the same head unit, iba iba ang tunog

buy the best amps and speakers you can afford and leave the stock HU alone

that's just me

Newer stock HUs are much better than what was before. They have better features and much better sounding.

I am with Uls that it is better to spend on good speakers and amps. You can also add processors to help you in setting proper cutoff frequencies for the speakers.

Hindi ko din kaya yan bro hahaha

Ito ikakabit sa Hilux:
Pioneer ts-g160c seps front
Pioneer ts-g1620f coax rear
4sheets deadening
4 spacers
4 foamring

HU most likely i will retain the stock. Di ko lang alam kung ok ba yung stock HU ng Toyota na hindi touch screen.

same opinion here, stock HU's nowadays are way better and mostly integrated na mga steering wheel controls. its a must now yung smartphone connectivity like you can mirror your phone, apple carplay or android auto, navi apps, spotify connect and other music streamers. of course its a plus na din if its able to playback hi-res music formats, touchscreen and options to connect reverse camera.

kaya stock speakers at headunits ang madalas inuuna kasi dati hindi talaga maganda tumunog ang mga stock car audio except maybe sa mga premium cars. saka mga HU dati limited ang mga tuning features at playback capabilities to play hi-res music formats na nasa mga aftermarket HU's lang dati. kaya yung mga nag audio upgrade, mostly palit HU talaga. ngayon ok na mga HU, may mga tuning features na like time alignments at may mga plug n' play DSP's na rin to install in b/n HU and speakers to optimize yung in-car accoustics.

nowadays it reverses the approach na. maybe just adding an underseat active subwoofer to augment the low frequencies ay okay na

to an extent i suspect a good number of non-audiophiles will already be happy just with a subwoofer upgrade

For me seps before sub. Especially in a big car/SUV where there's lots of space inside the doors you can get a very good amount of bass. In some cases more than what you can get from those small underseat subs.

Another reason is the amount of space a sub needs in its enclosure to be able to work properly. Adding a proper sub will definitely take away some of your car's practicality, so might as well dip your toes and go seps first and see if you're satisfied before deciding to dive in with a sub if you're not.
