Qs on Subs

[1D4LV]

Planning to install one sa oto ko. (para may additional bayo...)

Meron bang subs na di kailangan ng amplis? Any estimate price?

[ssaloon]

yan yung mga active subs (may built-in amp na sa sub enclosure). i think infinity has one selling for mga 6-7k.

thanks miks. eto ba yung mga infinity shops sa SM?

hmmm. mura ah.... makapasyal nga sa weekend.

[ssaloon]

i think the price is for the 8 incher. try to ask sa AUTOSPORT and not sa MG INFINITY. mas madaming magagandang choices sa former, they also sell active blaupunkt and JBL subs if i'm not mistaken.

[1D4LV]

san miks mga shop nyan? sensha na. di pa ko mashadong gamay sa sound setup eh.

[pepengtom]

blaupunkt gt 1200 ok tumunog. worth 3800.
mga 300 or 400watts yata.. kaso nga lang hindi amplified. meron din available nito na amplified.

[1D4LV]

san meron nyan pareng pepeng?

happy: sa megamall bldg A yung autosport. kalevel ng cinemas, nearest sa entrance/exit ng multilevel carpark. katapat niya yung circuit city. MG Infinity naman, nasa basement level ng same building, katabi ng sushi mart and mann hann.

kung baguhan ka lang sa Subs, very adviseable ang active Subs kasi lahat (amp/subs) ay nasa isang kahon na ...

pero, size ang importante para sa Subs ... mas-malaki, mas-malalim ang tunog. pero, depende na ito sa pinakikinggan mong tugtog ...

10-12 inch ok lang kung gusto mo makinig ng alternative / techno na kanta and 15-18 inch kung hiphop naman ....

oo nga pare ok na yung nasa autosport na subs. 14k yata yung isang JBL na speaker nila na bazooka type. astig pa tignan. I think meron sin sila nung sa infinity na subs na box type. check mo na lang dun pag pumunta ka. sa 3rd floor sa megamall sa may side ng powerbooks and yoshinoya. pinaka dulo na shop yung eh

happy, i strongly advise against getting an active sub. sayang lang pera mo. trust me, i have been tweaking my car stereo for the past ten years. even if you get the cheapest amp and sub combo, it will sound much better than an amplified sub.

the main market of the amplified sub is in first world countries where labor and installation is very expensive. so ito ang do it yourself solution. eh, dito sa pina, mura lang ang labor and install, go for the separte amp and sub na lang.

luckytruck.

is the cost of getting an active sub equal to or less than getting an amp + a sub?

[luckytruck]

pare, i suggest you shop around sa kotseaudioclub or here sa classifieds for 2nd hand subs and amps.

you could probably get a sub for 1500 and an amp to drive it for 3000 pesos. add 2500 for box and labor to install, total is P7000 and you will sond much better than a P7000 amplified sub

got it lucky. thanks.

Active subs will cost much cheaper than seprate ampli+sub & box setups. Downside is there's no room for any upgrades incase you decide for more boom out of it. Except to sell the active box and revert to luckytruck's plans.

Pero kung simple sound enjoyment and saves more space mood, pwede na rin ang active box.

well yung nga lang downside nyan wala ka na tlga room for expansion. baka mabitin ka lang. kung simpleng bayo lang ok na yan pero kung gusto mo na hanggang 2 kanto dinig yan wag na lang.

thanks papsi. actually, that is my original point. additional bayo lang, not to the point na to rock my house pag nagpapatugtog ako from my garage.

point taken guys. ill just decide what's best.

SubbieDoo, what if I use S8L7's? I listen to all types of music. more on rock, r&b and hip hop.

[SubbieDoo]

no point having less than 10in kung mag-subs ka dahil ang purpose ng subs is to move air ... so kung masyadong maliit ang subs, useless ...

infact, kung maliit ang kotse mo (hatch or lift-back) pwede ka nang mag-dalawang 6x9 na nasa maliit na box kasi kayang i-fill ng 6x9 ang loob ng kotse kung konteng bayo lang ang habol mo, pero bibili ka ng separate na amp (2x50 power ok na)

kung ang kotse mo is sedan or wagon (like mine) kailangan ng mas-malaking subs para ma-fill nya ang airspace ng wagon or para makalabas ang tunog ng subs sa trunk/boot ng kotse

normally, ang 8in subs ay ginagamit sa harap (installed sa may firewall) para hatakin lang ang bass sa harap ng kotse

kung mag-6x9 ka, JBL daw (based a opinion ng tatay ko) ang pinkamalakas bumayo

[SubbieDoo]

main advantage ng "active" subs is kung baguhan ka lang sa sounds (or tinatamad mag-ayos hehehe) madaling i-setup ang active dahil all-in-one package ito ... and madaling ilipat or alisin sa kotse kung kailangan ng space

pero kung mura naman ang labor sa pinas, then go for separate subs & amp ka na lang and pa install mo na lang kasi madaling mag-expand kung ma-iba ang tastes mo sa sounds
