audio set-up for beginners [continued]

[X-salta]

sir jhnkvn, bout sa seps sir? nagtanong tanong kasi ako ng seps around 4k-5k, someone quoted me for JBL 609c for about 4.8k. Tinignan ko online sa amazon, it was priced for $230++. Twice ng price dito. Legit kaya tong 609c na binibigay sakin? Or too good to be true?

Ganyan po ang binigay na price sa akin sa PERFECT CIRCLE * BANAWE. PERFECT CIRCLE po ang distributor ng JBL products for cars.

[X-salta]

They simply indicate flexibility. Sa mga mga ganito, more = better.

Okay, for a more in-depth post, most good head units come with 3 pre-out RCAs that are divided into three sections: Front (Left and Right), Rear (Left and Right), and Subwoofer. The more budget ones from Pioneer and equivalent comes with 1-2 pre-outs which usually is either Front (Left and Right) only or Front + Rear.

It is hard to generalize that pre-outs limits the number of amplifiers you can use since you can have external processors, Y-connectors, etc. to further "expand" your external amplifiers.

Oh i see po sir. Others will have a separate amplifier for each and every RCA-OUT. Tama ba sir?

good PM mga sirs!

question din related sa JBL.

i would like to have an SQ setup.
however, unti-untiin ko lang muna etong project ko due to funds

for the initial setup, ayos lang ba na unahin ang seps, 6x9, at HU?
i am thinking JBL seps and 6x9, tapos pioneer HU.
next na yung amplifiers and subs...

hindi ko pa naman siya papa-bayohin nang todo. sufficient na sa akin for the meantime na clear yung sound inside the car.

pa-feedback naman tungkol dito.

TIA!

nagiinstall din ba sila? un po ba kinuha niyo na seps? GTO609c? maganda naman po ba? may idea kayo ano next higher priced model and next lower priced model?

EDIT: oh and also, comparable po ba saan un sound quality ng gto609c? compared po sa mga dls, a/d/s, morel?

[X-salta]

nagiinstall din ba sila?

Yes, nag iinstall po sila

un po ba kinuha niyo na seps?

Kukuha pa lang po ako nito sir, ipon mode pa together with the Head Unit

GTO609c? maganda naman po ba?

I think so kasi nasa middle range siya

may idea kayo ano next higher priced model and next lower priced model?

Nasa 8K++ pesos na ang susunod na price dito. High end na kasi.

EDIT: oh and also, comparable po ba saan un sound quality ng gto609c? compared po sa mga dls, a/d/s, morel?

Marami din kasing model ang Morel and the like. Depende sa budget, parang may stages 1, 2, 3

[mikedp5]

Ask ko lang mga audio gurus, ano ba maganda next na upgrade ko. Upgraded na ko ng HU to pioneer, then mag amp ako ng powerbass 4channel asa600.4x then upgrade ko din un Kinetic KD6 ko to JBL GTO609c. Sub ko is JBL na entry, un gt5-s12 ata un. ano maganda next na upgrade? upgrade ko na ba un coaxials sa likod? or get mono amp for sub? may igaganda pa ba un sub ko if mono ang amp niya vs bridged from the ASA600?

I'm using a KD6 now. Pero baka magpalit ako nung JBL 609c. I don't know if it's a big improvement. Antay din ako mga inputs pero I'd stick nalang sa mga branded ones than un mga china rebrands. Better to pay more for a brand nalang just for peace of mind and reliability.

magkano nga pala un 608c mo? wala kasi ako mapagtanungan nito.

[kazer]

hello,

need advice. I have a 1999 GSR all stock except HU which is a 2din (galing daw pajero)
plan ko sana mag palit ng HU and speakers. swak na ba yung ganun lang ?
parang sa dalawang pinto at dalawa sa likod ang speaker niya.

any suggestions ? Plan ko s pioneer HU (atleast sd, usb, mp3 and cd sana)
di naman masyadong tight budget lets say 10k pero if pwedeng babaan why not.

more on chill out sounds pala ako. like trance etc...
thanks!

[jhnkvn]

Sorry but I don't do speaker recommendations nor speaker comparisons.

Your ears won't really care about what brand of speaker you have. It only cares about the sound waves it reproduces. I've never even heard of anybody (without prior knowledge) sit in my car and correctly guess what I'm using.

The "safety" of sticking with branded ones is at least alam mo meron sila track record. They're usually more strict in quality control that way if they want to excel in the business and this in turn gives the buyer peace of mind.

Hi Sir,

As of last night leaning towards JBL na ako, then my other option is Targa.
Saw some 608c at a classifieds site thats going for about 3-3.5k

Sir jhnkvn, ano ba next na upgrade na masuggest niyo?

HU, front seps, 4channel amp, sub meron na po ako.

Coaxials po ba ang magandang next iupgrade? Or mono amp for sub? Entry level lang naman sub ko jbl gt5-s12.

Actually you're already pretty much complete. Hindi ka pa ba satisfied? Ano ang kulang for you?

From my experience, coaxials aren't really necessary once your front stage is loud enough.. this is because the listeners at the back won't mind if you don't have speakers at the back.

Since it seems you're already done sa "basic" SQ tonal aspect and you still want more, you might want to start going the true SQ route.. but it'll start with your purchase of a "audiophile"-quality head unit. As I see you posting sa KAC, it might be a good idea to start reading some threads there as a start. Problem is, it will cost you a lot so truthfully speaking I usually suggest people to be content na after completing their basic HU-Speakers-Amplifier-Subwoofer setup.

If you haven't heard a "true" SQ setup and you can drop by Banawe whenever, feel free to contact me and I can arrange an audition for you. The thing with sound is that it's based on your standard expectations -- unless you hear something better, you won't know what it sounds like. Parang mga kotse lang yan.. unless you've experienced what a 0-60 in less than 4 seconds is, you haven't seen what real speed is like

Uhm need help on q-amp na amplifiers. Ano po ba tong brand na to? I need amp for about 4-6k. Eto un sinusuggest sakin ng mga shops. Ayoko na kasi sana ng mga china rebrands like lightning lab.

Never heard of them.

[monty_GTV]

how about the car battery sir jhnkvn, would a stock 3sm battery powerful enough to support a basic install of tweeter + seps + sub and amp? when do we need to install an audio battery like those expensive ones like stinger and xspower brands? TIA
