Nakamichi brand

[jhnkvn]

*bro jhnkvn, what is your take on this nakamichi seps, amps, and subs? Ok rin ba? Planning to go full nakamichi setup. Sabi nga rin saken wag daw dedepende sa brand, kahit targa nga lang daw maganda pag nakuha sa tuning eh.

I have no idea. But I don't think they're bad per se but frankly I can't really get much information on them and hence, personally, I'll stay away. I mean like.. 30W RMS then a whopping 430W as max? That's bullshit. It's too far apart. Usually you see 80W RMS speaker voice coils being cooked already at 400W. FYI, my midbass has a 100W RMS and a 200W maximum RMS wattage rating (this means that it can get 100-200W and is within "suitable" power range. Still, I'm throwing 320W on them and even I'm afraid of throwing even more. This is because music is "flowing", your amplifier isn't stuck at 4ohms infinitely, it'll rise to 8ohms at times and dip sometimes to 2ohms and some more infamous woofers even dip to 1ohm (mine's infamous for dipping to 0.8ohms momentarily, at that point, it'll be giving a whopping 800W at the woofer. This is why I do NOT push my volume up high else I say goodbye to 20 grand).

In all actuality, the impedence swings is the culprit of the saying that "expensive woofers need expensive amplifiers" since it's pretty true. If I threw my midbass at a Sound Magnus amplifier, it'll constantly be in protect mode Of course, manufacturers are striving to make their speakers more "amplifier" friendly nowadays.

I'd recommend Dominations' entry-level Buddy series. Dominations is an Indonesian brand but I've met with its founder once, great guy and even gave me tips on how to improve my own system. I believe SRP for equipment cost is 25k for 1 pair 6.5 Seps, 4x50w amp, 1x500w amp, and 12 inch sub. But if you pay in cash, there's a huge discount which dips it to 20k flat or something (I have to find my brochure.. sad that it's 2:49am so I'm pretty sleepy). Nogs Candyshop should be your first stop in Banawe if you'll take up the offer. If you're somewhere near Pasig, try visiting Mach2Audio. As a side benefit, my Sonata's getting its final rebuild in Mach2Audio too so you may also check up on its progress :naughty2:

I know, right? 30w rms then 450w peak? Haha. For the sub and amp, I might go dominations, as per your advice. Thanks!
