    A friend told me that Boston Acoustics are very good speakers and adviced me to go straight Boston Acoustics from Tweeters to Subs. Is my friend right?

    Is going the straight brand for all speakers advisable? If yes, what brand would be the best?

    Thanks for the help.

    myth lang yan na mas maganda ang straight 1 brand ang setup.

    your best bet would be to audition the components for your setup. different strokes for different folks, what sounds good to one, may not be good to another

    the brands you will opt to purchase will also greatly depend on your budget, which i believe is the biggest hindrance of accomplishing one's desired setup.

    just my 2 cents :D

    SSaloon,

    Thanks for your insight. Just to narrow down my hunt for the "ideal" sytem for me... Can you advise me on which brands to avoid and which ones to seek out.

    Thanks again.

    Beefy,

    Thanks! Since I am no systems expert, in fact I don't know a thing about this except that there are tweeters, midrange, and subs, what sort of set up will you recommend?

    I just want very clear music with medium full bass even when I turn the volume down.

    Would you know where I can have this done? Would you have any idea how much this would cost?

    Thanks again for your help.

    BOSERO ive heard the BOSTONS tweeters and the COMPETITION seps , it will cost u an arm n a leg pero if ur serious , go for it . Di ko alam ang subs , recommend ko ay Kicker L7's or JL Audio's for subs and XTANT and JL Audio for amps . Bang for the buck kasi sila for the price they cost , so much features na wala sa iba na mas mahal and tested na ito sa competitions so that means , its ok to abuse these babies . ito ay for SPL application pala .

    SPL - sound pressure level (boom, boom)
    SQ - sound quality (clarity)

    try mo tumingin sa intense sa banawe, or contact the shop through 7316479

    you can also try mickey's autosound, 647-2298.

    ok ang Boston Acoustics. but of course, one brand/model being ok depends on the listener, the car, and the setup itself. also, having a single brand setup doesn't necessarily guarantee a sweet sounding setup. and having different brands in a setup doesn't also mean pangit yung setup. best option is to audition as many different setups so you can decide what sound you really like.

    It depends on your budget... If you plan to get boston, get the Pro Series 6.5 for your front speakers, any really series for your rear and Pro series 12.5 subs. Estimate - Proseries 6.5 = 18-20k, Rally = 6-9k and Pro series 12.5 = 12k.

    U can use stock speakrs as your rear.

    Boston speakers are good. I've been loyal to the brand for 7 years.

    Sound quality is very subjective. What may sound good for me, may not sound good to others. Honestly, I think you can get better speakers for the same amount.

    Perfect Circle(banawe) is the distributor of Boston Acoustics

    Thanks for all the info. Really appreciate it.

    One more question: Auditioning... how does one go about this? Do I go to a shop and ask them to install different systems in my car and I will just choose which I like?

    thanks again in afvance for your help.

    log-on ka sa www.kotseaudioclub.com, tapos sama ka sa mga EB nila. daming mga malulupit na setup jan, ranging from entry level to high end. parang smorgasboard sa audio setup and components. tapos pag may natipuan ka, tandaan mo setup nya (brand, model line of speakers, amps, subs, etc) tapos i-pattern mo don yung setup mo.

    ang ganda ng bostons, lalo na pro series. they can handle as much power as you can give em. more than any other speakers out there.

    maganda pa sa boston is you can mount the tweeter ontop of the woofer. no more drilling holes or using tape to mount the tweeter. may tweeter level adjustment and tweeter position adjustment din.



    i think, correct me if im wrong 12.5LF is 11-12k, RC620 11-12K, Pro6.5 is 16-18k
