try mo baka may 3.5mm jack output; meron naman 3.5mm jack to RCA

Since mag upgrade ka ng sound setup mo, baka yang current HU mo ay pangit na talaga. Bili ka ng mas maganda. Yung may maayos na EQ and higher wattage.

Typically pag nag uupgrade ng audio setup HU/separates ang inuuna.

Bili ka ng high/low converter.

Sayang lang gastos for the converter, P450 din tapos destorted sound, before buying your amps or speakers, consider upgrading your HU first. Just my opinion

Kung basic upgrade lang you dont need to spend too much na. Pwede na yang stock HU mo. As what Zero3 said bili ka LOC(line output converter). Or bili ka amp that could accept high level inputs or amps that has internal LOC like the pioneer GM series class D amps.

Hindi sayang ang gastos sa LOC. actually that is the wise route kung basic upgrade lang hanap mo. No need to spend so much on buying a new HU. Ganyan ginawa ko dahil ang HU ko ay di basta basta palitan dahil maraming controls and features ng sasakyan ay integrated sa HU. Also magiging distorted lang ang sound ng speakers if you push your drivers to hard to a point of extreme na ang excursion. Kahit palitan mo HU ng mamahalin magiging distorted pa rin tunog nyan yan pag sobra sobra yung volume. Tune/level match your amp properly.

To me, last resort ang LOC. I'm no audiophile but I do appreciate good clarity and detail.

But it is your car. However, do note that not all LOCs are equal. There are quality LCOs (active) and there are crap ones. The cheaper ones can add 'color' to your music and you end up losing some details and/or gaining distortion and noise. But if you have to spend for a quality LOC, might as well change the HU instead. Though subjective, many decent aftermarket HUs aren't at all expensive.

The only reason you'd want to keep the OEM HU is when it is fully and deeply integrated with the car (ie. Part of the info-center screen). On the Innova, it is still modular and you only lose the steering controls, at worst.

I'm no audiophile and an expert either, I just love a good music and do my own installs. People sometimes tend to forget when giving advice about audio gears if kaya ba ng budget nung nag tatanong ang suggestions nila. Parang you are shooting them down na kahit basic upgrade lang hanap nila. As what the experts have said, sa car audio it will always be subjective kung ano maganda. For some even just changing the front seps using the stock HU is ok na but for others they cant appreciate anything less than gears with dsp on 3way active setup. Problem din is yung TS di nag indicate ng budget.

I'm learning here... great discussion. In my case, I can't replace my head unit as it is fully integrated with the car's control.

If I may ask, what is ICE? I've read that LOC is line output converter.

ICE=in car entertainment, LOC=line output converter. Ganun din sa akin. I would love to install aftermaket HU pero daming feature na integrated sa oem HU ko.

edit: ICE also means internal combustion engine. Depends on what topic you are discussing hehehe

Yes, ICE is internal combustion engine and that is the only thing that came to my mind the first time I've read it. Since we are talking about music, I was trying to fit words like "integrated" and "enhancement" but I couldn't make it. How about DSP? EQ is equalizer, is that right?

There are a lot of things I still don't know about cars...

DSP, digital signal processor. Yes EQ is equalizer. I was going to point you sa "audio terms" thread but i saw na wala DSP dun, baka di na na update. But most of the terms naman dito is available ang definition sa google.
I'm also a student of ICE and marami pa ako dapat matutunan. Inquisitive lang siguro ako dahil pag may isang bagay akong napag ka intersan, hahanap talaga ako paraan or answers on that subject. In any part or direction of life we choose there is no such thing as full knowledge. There will always be something or some way we can improve or learn.

Just to clear things, sometimes the reason why people asks for the budget is so those who will make suggestions can limit their suggestions within the budget. Otherwise without a budget restriction, baka puro expensive high end gears and i-suggest. Asking for the budget is actually para hindi nahirapan ang mag-suggest ng proper gears.

When I started my first diy few years back, I think mga 2 or 3 times ko binasa ang mga post sa thread na yan from page 1 at lahat ng topic na mga maka dagdag sa akin ng info screenshot lahat yan. Also ganyan din ginagawa ko sa KAC forum dati. sayang at wala na ang forum ngayun. Though nasa files ko pa mga screenshots ko from KAC hehehe.

I learned a lot from KAC also, it's sad that the website is gone.
