    Is the upgrade of your car's car audio worth it?

    I've heard dozens of SQ car audios but it still couldn't match the good old boxed speakers & receiver/amps at home.

    Yup, it is worth it...

    Pero it depends na rin in how strong your inclination to music is.

    I used to play in a band kasi kaya gusto ko lagi maganda ang napapakinggan ko. I always love to hear good music, both melody and instrumentation.

    kahit panalo pa ang audio setups at home it still pays to upgrade the stock audio ng car lalo na if you use ur car a lot and long driving and traffic tuwing malakas na ulan

    depends on what you're starting with...i would always upgrade systems on economy cars (at the very least those cheap paper cones that they use on the speakers), but some stock systems (higher-end nissan = bose, lexus = mark levinson/nakamichi, bmw = harman kardon) are really good even if you don't spend another peso on them.

    many people i see upgrade their systems mainly to make their car boom and attract attention from other people...most stock systems don't put out enough power or LFE to achieve this.

    also, you are right in saying that a modest home audio setup will sound even better than the expensive car systems - it's because the car is a poor soundstage to begin with, and only becomes worse when you start rolling and get road and engine noises...

    hmm...para sa akin...worth it sya kung hilig mo...pero kung gumagastos ka na ng over 100k... parang sayang na...

    pero kanya-kanyang hilig lang yan...

    OT:
    nung binili ko yung C ko...sabi ng barkada ko.."bat di na lang SUV binili mo..kesyo bahain daw Metro Manila, Daming lubak, etc,etc"..daming sinabi..(matanda sa akin)..hehehe

    sagot ko sa kanya...hehehe...kanya-kayang hilig lang yan.."bat ikaw, yung Home Theater mo umaabot na ng 2.5M-3M ang system mo!"..hehehe....natawa lang sya...kanya-kanyang hilig lang yan..:lol:
