Sound setup for Toyota Fortuner

[franci_rod]

Mga gurus, suggestions naman kung pano diskartehan yung setup na gusto ko for the Fortuner. Suggest na rin kung saan shop ok gumawa.

Reqmts:
1. Decent na "bayo" lang. I'm not an SPL kind of listener..mas gusto ko yung "gumagapang" lang (is that the right term for it??)
2. Will utilize the existing stock HU and speakers (for the meantime..pag may budget na ulit)
3. Will still be able to use the 3rd row seats.

Thanks in advance guys! Any input would be appreciated.

Just add Seps Amp from the RCA line out of your existing HU or just use powered Sub Woofer since you need only Low frequency attenuation (gapang in the sense) IMO

AFAIK walang RCA out yung stock HU ng Fortuner, better check your HUs manual.

Whats your budget?

Wow, finally may nakabasa din ng question ko..kala ko di na ko pansin... hehe!

I'm thinking of spending around 10K-15K lang sana... Actually, Alex Ong of Autoline showed me one setup he did with an Innova. 2 12" JL audio subs, 1 amp (di ko maalala brand and wattage) in a customized, fiber glass bass bin. Ok na nga din sana sakin yung ganun kaya lang medyo ang mahal kasi ng 2 subs. Kahit 1 lang pwede na sakin. Also, it blocks access to the tools/jack panel so pano kapag nasiraan??? Tapos since we use the Fortuner for family outings, sana pwede alisin yung buong setup (with the amp or just the sub..don't know which is easier) ng madali.

pwede mo naman gawin na may function padin un likod.. like un floor un gawin mong enclosure tapos tago na lang sa baba ng seats un amp... hirap un gusto mo na baklas kabit.. pagka ganun talaga un gusto mo, mga substation lang makakabit mo.. un may built in ampli na may enclosure.. but hinde decent un tunog nun for me.. iba padin ang box tapos sub

depends un sa preference mo.. alex ong of autoline knows soudns naman.. bigyan mo na lang budget tapos gawan niya ng setup kung hangang san aabutin..

yung ginawa sa innova ko is customized ang sub box. 10" lang po na dls kasi hindi na kasya sa likod pag nakababa ang 3rd row seats. yung subs pwede tanggalin ang yung amp naman nasa ilalim ng driver seat. walang rca out ang fujitsu na HU ng innova ko so convert pa nila and nagpalagay nalang ako ng switch for the amp. stock lang po ang speakers ko sa front and 2 way naman ang sa rear. cost me about 15K. kid audio ko po pinagawa.

hahnvin, thanks for the info. Actually gusto ko rin mag consult kay Kid Audio. Ang ganda rin kasi ng mga gawa niya. Maybe I'll pay him a visit soon. Pero yung nga ang problem ng mga stoch HUs natin. Walang pre-outs and walang remote kaya patay tayo dyan! Gusto ko pa naman sana i-delay ang pagbili ng HU kasi medyo mabigat din. Dang! Anyway, thanks again! Gusto ko rin kasi talaga naalis yung subs.

Am thinking about the infinity basslink for my fortuner. parang pareho tayo ng need. madali tangalin. also saw an 8 inch dub enclosure with built in amp. parang pwede rin kung gusto mo lang ng bass. less than 10k pa nga yata yon

franci_rod: JL? I think you'll go over your budget with that But IMO its worth it, malambot ang tunog niyan. IMO you can go without the RCA outs, the installer will just get a signal from the front speakers, but if you're really after sound quality, save up a little bit for a quality HU - Alphine and Pioneer 1-DIN are good bang for the buck HUs, will set you back around 5K-25K depending on the model.

Hehe! For sure lampas na nga. Now I'm really torn wether to get a good HU first or sub setup muna. Tempted na nga rin ako mag sub station na lang kaso "aesthetically" wala sya dating. Hehe! Which one should I get first? I'm more inclined to do with the HU first, total meron naman stock, but will it cost me more for the installer to use converters and then scrap them later once I've saved up for my new HU? :confused:

[Ventoy]

For those HU which don't have RCA out you use powered Subs since they have high input signal connection you can tap it to your rear speakers thru parallel connection or a good technician can make new audio out then you can have RCA cunnector. I think the best is to change new HU rather than doing some conversion on your OEM HU

i have an innova, set up with 2 15" targas... d ko na nagagamit 3rd row seats. pero ok lang, i'm lovin' it

[LAcars]

There are many amplified subs with the high input...try Blaupunkt ODSB around 8,800.00, Dub 8At 9,500.00, Infinity Bass Link 14,500.00.

Those sound good on SUvs and Auvs. Good clarity bass with a li'l kick.

[mazdamazda]

IMO... change your HU, seps & tweeters first... the stock sound system of the Fortuner doesn't sound that good to begin with. the tweeters sounds too high-pitched... the mids is lacking... the lows are almost nonexistent.

[franci_rod]

I wish I can have this HU. I feel this is the perfect one for me and my Fortuner. Wish I had that much money though. Meron kaya dito niyan sa Pinas?

franci: Thats in the 50K-70K price range... tama ba? hehe. I'm not saying its not worth it, but you can get the same quality output if you put some of your money on a good pair of 2 way or even a 3 way seps. To give you an idea (eto estimate lang):
Alphine 9xxx series HU (1-DIN) 22-25K
JBL entry level 2-way seps 3-5K
DLS entry level 2-way seps 5-6K
MB Quart entry level 2-way seps 8K up
pag 3-way you should add around 3-5K to the SRP of 2-way seps.

JBL 4 channel amp - 15K up
Alpine 4 channel amp - 10k up

JL 10W6v2 - 30K +/-

ILD, thanks for the estimates. I'll definitely look into those options. Actually, "fantasizing" lang talaga ako 'bout the HU I posted. Hehe! Tama ka, nasa mga 75K yung HU pa lang. I saw some pics kasi of Fortuner owners na nag-convert to 1 DIN na HU, medyo di maganda eh. Suggeestion I got from others tend to lean more getting a good HU first. Wala kasi pre-outs yung stock.

[franci_rod]

guys, question lang...I don't any auto shop is selling the Pioneer HU and accessory I posted above. Do you have any idea, or know of any shop, that can order this for me from their supplier?

[tantin91]
