would you suggest dyan na ako sa Pinas bumili? Approx P10K yun, so ano options ko for a seps?

Thanks for your help...

[ssaloon]

DLS is a good brand too...7k and up for the 2-way reference series i think.

[Cardo818]

masmura yan.... dito sa pinas, i think mga 15-16k sya...

or try to check ebay. definitely alot of good stuffs there. kung mag ebay ka, try to find focals too

[maestro]

guys, thanks for the info...by the way, where can I get DLS dyan sa atin?

[maestro]

Cardo818, mura ba 165H - Focal 6.5" Polyflex Component at US$173.99??? Between the JL and this, which one is better?

Im also considering DLS (as recommended by ssalon), sa pinas na ako bili, para wala na ako bitbitin pauwi...hmmmm, what do you think?

Salamat po.

[Cardo818]

UP series ng DLS maganda din...

maestro, i really cant say eh... i havent heard yun specific models... K2 ng focals lang ang napapakinggan ko pa... and DLS iridiums

[maestro]

Thanks Cardo818,i think i'll get the JL seps...by the way, might also get a matching subs with it...they are available in 2,4,8 ohms...which one should I get???

[Cardo818]

depends sa amp mo siguro... its power rating at 2, or 4 ohms

[maestro]

Thank you guys...

Actually, nag-iisip pa ako if I will buy here sa US, hirap kasi mag-bitbit pauwi...if ever dyan ako sa Pinas bibili, what are my options for P15-20K (for seps, sub and amp lang)??? Kulang ba ito?

Beginner lang po ako, appreciate your help guys!

[ssaloon]

bitin yan pare. unless di ka brand conscious. kasi sa iniisip mo na brands for seps, slashed by half na agad yung 20k budget mo para don palang. shempre kung high-end yung seps mo, you'd have to get a powerful amp to juice up your seps to maximize its potential. that's discounting your sub and amp to power it pa.

[maestro]

Thanks SSAloon. Sorry dami ko tanong, kasi zero knowledge lang ako...kaka-enganyo lang when I started reading these threads....

Value for money, which set is worth buying? Actually, yun set1, medyo sakit na sa bulsa ko. Pero if mura talga sya, kakayanin...

set1:
-JL 10W3V2 D2 10" subs, US$130 (or should I get the 10WO?)
-JL VR600CSi-6" ComponentSystem, US151.95

set2:
- INFINITY KAPPA 100.3DVC SUB WOOFER 1100W SUBWOOFER, US$65.77
- INFINITY KAPPA 50.5CS 5.25" COMPONENT SPEAKERS, US$ 117.77

Please feel free to give other suggestions.

Yun AMP, dyan na ako bibili kasi mabigat eh.

Thanks!!!

Both selling at US$149.99...mura ba yan?

[luckytruck]

the subsonic filter on the audiobahn is a nice feature especially if you are going to bridge the rear channel and use it to drive a ported sub. i am saying this because with a moderate wattage for a sub, ported would be the most efficient

a lot of people keep saying that audiobahn is all show and no go, i have no personal experience with either of the two amp nor any of their product line, so i can't really give an educated opinion


andy

[maestro]

thanks Andy.

Nakita ko yun CDT audio sa thezeb...less 15% pa! lalabas sya at US$127 plus around $10 shipping... do you think its a good deal?? di kasi ako familiar dahil talgang wala akong alam sa audio....let me know your suggestion...

thanks!!!

[luckytruck]

although i haven't heard them in person, i know of very serious car audio competitors who sing praises for CDT, especially at that price. just take a look at their current lineup and the prices, they are very expensive. parang disposal price na yan kasi older model, but if i had the budget, i would go for them. ang ganda ng presyo na yan pare.

andy

[Cardo818]

nakakainggit naman kayo! hehehe try nyo rin mag ebay guys! I think masmarami pa mura dun... maganda kumuha ng wala dito sa pinas, para atleast pagdating mo dito - "wow! ganda! san mo nabili yan? wala yan dito ah" hehehe...

[maestro]

tempting!!! ... sige, i'll sleep on it...

Thanks to Andy, SSaloon and Cardo for all your professional help...by the way, I did purchase some items from ebay... Amp and subs so far... pero yun CDT, wala dun eh.

Thanks again!

[luckytruck]

what car will you be installing it in? i think those on sale are the 5.25 inch separates?

andy

[maestro]

I ordered it already!!!...will install in Paj Gen 2...Its a 6.5" seps... Actually, ang labo nga kasi mas mahal yun 5.25" keysa sa 6.5"... Bale, US$127 lang, from orig price of $299!....Thanks Andy!
