RAON Generic Head Units Thread

[MasterZerg]

Hi guys dumaan ako raon kanina i saw one HU classy design pero im not sure with the sound quality. Fidelity yung branch 2600 pesos with can play DVD/CD/MP3/WAV and has a USB... I was just wondering kung ok ba to... im sure we cannot compare it sa mga leading brands like pioneer etc... baka may nakapagtry na po ng mga head units na to... thanks.

balak ko kasi palitan yung HU ko na honda alpine may tape pa hahaha

walang audition dun sa shop? hehehehe
seriously, it sounds awful if compared to branded units. i've heard one.
pero kung stock naman yung speakers mo, pwede na.

just ask for a reasonable shop warranty to be sure.

but, if i am you, i will just get a second hand branded unit. halos pareho lang ang price, mas maganda pa ang quality. di ka pa mamromroblema sa parts and service if in case it needs repairs.

bought a proline head unit a few years back and it sounded great.. with tried it out using some really crappy speakers where we bought the unit.. and it surprised the hell out of me.. maybe i was lucky dnt know, but i have since replaced my head unit to one that plays DVD, that proline unit only played CD,MP3 and VCD..

From experience, the level of satisfaction will eventually caught up with the amount you paid for.

If I were you, I will save up for the more decent Pioneer unit or any branded ones for that matter.

of course, not everything of good sound quality boils down to the HU.... speakers also play a big part. after all, this is where the sound is transmitted and emitted...

even if you use a good head unit but still use crappy speakers, the sound will still emit crappy outputs.

tsambahan sa ganyan, at masakit pag pumalpak, baklas na naman ang dashboard mo . magkano budget? mag pioneer ka na. eto entry level na with USB na. around 5K sa banawe with free installation na.


meron mas mababa 2050 at 1050 yun nga lang aux in lang and wala pa USB port.

IMHO sir sound quality comes or starts from a good quality source unit (including amps) then down to your speakers..if they are saying "tsambahan lang yan" I will not gamble....dahil magastos. Dahil kahit gaano ka expensive ang speakers mo but the source units were cheap it will more likely sound cheap..and it is really expensive to start all over again if you get what I mean..(start from the source then speakers)..

dont trust this HU from raon. mura lang siya. but the quality and durabilty is at stake. try to save up for cheap/middle priced branded HU models. P5 to 10k HU sa banawe then pair it up with quality speaker not actully those hi end speakers = mostly satisfied thirst for quality sound.



if you want to get into extreme, total AV upgrade!

boom! boom! Shake! Shake!:jump: totalled pockets:jawdrop:

[simplicity]

pre, try mo pakinggan setup ko... all Raon products... hahaha!
kung ok na sa tenga mo, eh di good... pero kung me pera ka naman, bumili ka na lang
ng Pioneer.

[aejhayl17]

thanks na lang po...satisfied na ko sa sounds ko hehehe anyways, iba pa rin pag stock... wag lang basag! hehe good day

[cocoy]

my theory is,, after all they are all made in china.. hehehe.. but Proline is a taiwan company and so maybe just maybe they actually build better quality HU to compete with the HU units that are Branded.. and truth be told i thnk you pay 50% more or less for the name of the HU unit.. and then again.. i could be just wrong. heheheh

Just curious: have you ever owned a Fidelity HU or are you just basing your opinion based on what you read, heard or 2nd hand information?

A Raon regular here. Been buying stuff from Raon since the 80s'. "Generic HU" units? Bought 2-3 of those (Proline brand) and I didn't have any problem. In fact, one is still fully functional and is installed on my dilapidated owner-type jeep. Friggin' thing outlived the Sony HU of my Lancer itlog (not Xplod model).

Thread poster: your call to make. Take people's advice here as a "grain of sold". Ask the vendor if you can "audition" the Fidelity HU. Most of the vendors in Raon are kind enough to let potential buyers audition an HU, an amp or a set of speakers. If the audio sounds decent enough for your tastes, why not? In the end, it's your money, your decision to make, your contentment and your happiness that matters - not what we say here.

Good luck!

yes sir,i do have a first hand experience sa HU from raon,. nasira tapos may pinalitan sa loob, something na bilog na nakasolder, tapos nasira ule, ganon ulet ginawa, the last time na nasira, sinukuan ko na, dinispatcha ko na sa basurahan, kalat lang sa garahe,this happened by late 2007 kung kelan madalas pa ko sa quiapo. limot ko na yung pinaka itsura nung past HU na yun but i think mga more or less 2k siya. anyways, anu yung FIDELITY HU? pinalit ko is pioneer na old school na din eh by 08 na, pasalubong lang galing abroad,. got the same problem with v12 amp for the same area, pero hanggang now gumagana pa naman, 2x na nasisira. thanks for the inquiry. good day sir

Sir ito din experience ko..dumaan ako sa Raon nakita ko tong Mobile authority 1000watts..paid 4500php it was 2 and a half foot long and it was very heavy.. it was running two 15" subs 250rms each.. few months later to my surprised bigla na lang namatay ang amplifier..
if I only knew kung ano ang laman ng amps or ask somebody..hindi sana mangyayari ito na pa-ulit-ulit ang gastos....My point is ang mga tao na nagpost ng comments(bad or good) take it as constructive..dahil advantage ito sa atin..walang ganitong forum before na may pwiding tayong mapagtanongan..

Anyways, ito po ang laman sir! Purple po ang color yong nabili ko sa Raon.
