    Hi guys, ask lang ako suggestion about audio setup for an opel...

    car is an opel astra 01. all stock... my requirement is sql...

    2. I'm also considering to upgrade the HU to a DVD one with a pop out screen... if budget permits...
    3. the speakers are stock and still fine... will it be better to change it or keep it stock... so far satisfied pa naman...

The Patent Pending SWI-X features just can't be beat... [/SIZE]

    [SIZE=1]Note: The SWI-X interfaces will only work with infrared remotes that use the common 38-40kHz carrier frequency. Consult with equipment manufacturer to determine the carrier frequency. [/SIZE]

    there are a lot of car audio shops that can cater your needs for your car audio set-up. you may want to check the following shops: JC Car Audio, Mickey's Autosound, Blueprint, Sun-X, C&J Autosound, Autoline, etc.

    if you have the budget then i suggest you change the stock speakers of your car. for SQ, you may choose the following seps: Focal, Helix, Brax Hertz, Micro Precision, etc.
