Civic Hatchback Sound Setup Help

[bobo_d_wiseman]

ey mga masters at sirs,

tanong ko lang po ano ok na setup for a 94 civic hatch?

currently wala akong headunit pero may: macrom na front speakers, tweeters at crossover, may 2 pioneer 6x9s din na 220w rear speakers...

gusto ko po sana sql, not the booming type, pero with good bass. i also have a 10gig mp3 player na i want to incorporate sa setup.

im planning to get a good pioneer head unit capable of mp3 playback at may aux in, here are my questions:

1.) ok na ba yung speakers ko? at add nalang ako ng decent amp?

2.) or should i get this 300w pioneer 6x9 tapos pioneer 180w front with seps? ok ba yung macrom? macrom lahat ng front speakers ko with 120w at crossovers na dalawang 2 channel.

3.)pano po wiring tips at powering? i might add a sub, pero wala muna sa plan, wala rin space kase sa hatch...saka im trying to maintain the lightweight of my vehicle.

thanks.

im just a college student with other expenses, so limited budget, add ko lang. maybe 6k for a headunit, at 6-8k for addtional setup like amps at speakers. for now...hehe.

for your budget go for 10" SVC Targa Subs and V12 amps... visit Raon for the best deals in budget setups, dun ka na rin kumuha ng wiring.

[bobo_d_wiseman]

subs at amp nalang ang add ko after headunit? ok na ba yung seps ko at ibang speakers? if so, pano enclosure nung sub? san ko ilalagay sa hatch? i dont plan on losing my cargo space rin...

i suggest un hu mo may aux in na para masaksak m un mp3 player mo..

sa amp good na un v12 na 4 channel as of now.. then un sub kaya pa naman siguro ng 12 inch an targa niyan with box..

targa na 12 inch nasa 3K ata.. ampli na v12705 nasa 3-4K.. wiring 1K.. sa hu mukhang kulang un budget..

any other advice from the gurus here? i was impressed dati sa support ng forums nung i was setting up my sleeper sentra. sa workshop. now, parang wala ata. anyway, my sis now owns that devil car. sana po may suggestions how to setup the sounds of my hatch. what kind of speakers i need, ok na ba yung macrom fronts at seps, do i need a sub? etc...

[bobo_d_wiseman]

also, san ba recommended shops to have it done?
im getting an HU sa banawe, 6k pioneer in dash cd, may aux in na. speakers, san sa raon? any nearer place?

pwede na yun macroms mo if they are still in good condition. to get the thump you're looking for, a sub would be a better option over your 6x9s. powering them poroperly with an amp will allow you to maximize their potential.

incidentally, i do custom car audio install...click on the link in my signature for pics of my work.

[bobo_d_wiseman]

wow. i think thats too much for me. baka di ko kaya pag customized masyado. i do hope you can help me setup a decent pero swak sa budget system. ok rin pag open ended para i can upgrade in time. if subs, ano ba mas ok para sa hatch? yung bazooka type? or what? pwede bang open type rin para ilalagay ko in place of the 6x9s? gusto ko may cargo space parin kahit papano e.

[kewlryds]

tube subs (powered or not) are the best compromise that i can suggest if you want to keep any semblance of cargo space.

if you're not into systemsthat can be heard blocks away, an 8" sub in the proper enclosure will be sufficient for your needs. typically, their enclosures are small so you can keep a lot of your cargo space.

[bobo_d_wiseman]

thanks sir.
umm, how do i know if ok pa condition ng speakers? yung mga sound refinement paper ba na kinakabit sa speakers available sa mga car accessory shop nakakatulong?
so is this setup ok? (tama ba? possible ba to?):
a good HU (probably pioneer dehp7700mp) with aux in
a 4ch amp to power the front macroms and their seps going thru the macrom crossovers.
a 10" or 8" subwoofer in a tube with its own amp for the bass.

ok ba to? estimate nyo magkano aabutin? saka what will become of my 6x9s sa rear? useless na ba yun? or can the amp from the subs power it also? or the amp thats powering the front?

[kewlryds]

check for any signs of damage to the cone, surround, spider, pigtails. next is check if the cone move along it's entire excursion length smoothly. if those points are ok, there shouldn't be any problems with the speaker.

the 4-channel amp can power the macroms and a subwoofer. if you plan on using a powered tube sub, then the extra 2-channels of the amp can be used to power your rear speakers.

[bobo_d_wiseman]

wow! thank you so much sir for the very useful info.
