get head units with SD card option kasi pag naka usb ka na protrude yung flash drive panget tingnan while kung SD card nakatago so parang may internal memory yung HU mo..madami pioneer na may SD card slot

In the mainstream market (those less than five digits), Pioneer has more or less cornered the market at every price point that's reasonable. So I'll vote for it. Whether WHAT HU you want is dependent on you.

If you're going for a nice SQ setup, best to add a bit more and scout for secondhand Alpine 9887 units for its tuning features (EQ bands, slopes, and time alignment mostly). There are a lot if you know where to find them ;)

simple setup lang po gusto ko. pioneer na lang po ata. kaso ung nakita ko 2 pre outs lang. ok na kaya un?

suggest ko sayo deh-4250sd. 2 pre outs with option of rear as full or sub. simple lang nasa 5k below ang presyo.. may sukli ka pa.. add pa ng konti at buy ka ng magandang speaker..

saken satisfied na ako dyan.. basta clear sound lang ok na ako.. madalas din naman sa AM naka tune eh..

Agree with sir yapoy. I'm currently using a pioneer 3350ub HU. It has a usb socket sa face but instead of a flash drive, i use a mini sd card reader. It's so tiny na it sticks out as far only as the volume knob does. And it's cheap p40, cdrking and it's glossy black to blend with the HU's finish.

6k lang po ang budget.. masyado na mahal yan alpine.. ganda yan may time alignment feature kaso sobra na pricey.. maganda yan kung naka luxury car ka like sonata, accord or camry.. pero kung ordinary car lang like altis ok na yan pioneer

Pare, okay lang yun 2 pre-outs. 90% of population just use 2 of them anyway ;)

Not really. You can find some of them second-hand at 4 digit prices. I've seen some selling at 6k.. pero sira lang nga yun CD reader

. And expensive HUs are not only limited to luxury cars. Most cars that participate in the Philippine EMMA are compact cars like Honda Civics (arguably, pinakamadami) and use P99RS (35-40k) or even the uber expensive Alpine F#1 (6 digits price tag).

Depende na sa threadstarter on what he means by "simple" since our concept of price is relative. However, I would suggest you go for the 9887 once you have a budget of 30k upwards. Some people would scoff on why you budgeted 50% towards your headunit, but trust me, tuning is everything in the realm of car audio. I've seen people with Targa speakers that are optimally tuned and they sound very good for the price.
