What do i need?

[vonvergelenriqu]

Ano mga kailangan para makabuo ng magandang sound system(clarity) na pasok sa budget na 15thou.(meron na po kasi akong ampli at dalawang speaper na targa)

[red_one]

not sure kung ano pasok sa budget. but for AV equipment in general, you do get what you pay for, that is..

poor equipment = poor sound quality
good equipment = good sound quality
premium equipment = premium sound quality

some sample setups just for reference..

aside from equipment, importante din ang pagkaka install. madaming murang gears ang napapaganda ang tunog ng dahil sa pagkaka install.

[vonvergelenriqu]

oo nga po eh napaka importante din po ng pagkaka install ng mga equipments
pwede na po kaya tong mga equipments na bibilhin ko
capacitor
cross over
tweeter
1 set subs na 8inch or mas better kapag 12"
separates
wiring kits

any suggestion po na pwedeng idagdag or recommended nyo na brand kasi wala pa po akong masyadong alam pag dating ganito kasi taga province lang po ako wala po akong masyadong nakikitang magandang sounds system at over price po mga equipments dito

[red_one]

although installation can contribute to good sound, if you start with poor equipment, there is really not much room for improvement.

also, "poor" equipment does not necessarily mean "cheap" price. similarly, "good" equipment does not necessarily mean "expensive" price.

if limited budget, go for "bang-for-the-buck" brands. research and research. or buy 2nd hand "good" brand equipment.

if wala masyado alam sa brands at setup, do consult a reliable car audio shop.

*vonvergelenriqu: maybe you should describe muna your current setup.

ano ang car mo?
ano ang current HU?
ano ang current speakers?

you said meron ka ng amp at Targa speakers.. nakakabit na ba ito or hindi pa?

ano ang amp model? ilan watts? ilan channels?
ano klase at ano size ang Targa speakers mo at ano plano mo gawin dito?

to improve your sound system, you really need to start with the basic, i.e. good HU and good separates, then add amp and additional speakers or sub. you can refer to the photos na pinost ko sa taas.

capacitor
cross over
tweeter
1 set subs na 8inch or mas better kapag 12"
separates
wiring kits

bakit need mo ng capacitor?
bakit need mo ng hiwa-hiwalay na crossover, tweeter, at separates? kapag bumili ka ng separates, 1 set na yan (includes woofer, tweeter at crossover). or am i missing something here?
12" sub maybe better than 8" depende sa car mo at sa gusto mong bass. madali mag-add ng sub so kahit later mo pa bilhin yan.

HONDA CIVIC FD 2007
STOCK P RIN PO UNG H.U KASI KULANG NA BUDGET
ANG CURRENT SPEAKERS PO STOCK PA DIN

YUNG AMP AT TARGA PO ANG HINDI PA NAKAKABIT

V12 NA 4CHANNEL AT 5000 WATTS
ANG TARGA SPEAKER KO PO AT SIZE 12 PANG ADDITIONAL SPEAKER KO PO

para po mag store electrical charge, para hindi humuhinga mga ilaw
ganun po ba, hindi ko po kasi alam yun, baguhan pa lang po ako kaya po ako nagpapatulong sa inyo hehe.
ang gusto ko po kasi kung sa bass eh hindi sobrang lakas so mas better nga po kung isang 12' na lng or dalawang 12"

maraming salamat po

Start with a good h.u. then separates.

before adding a power capacitor, test mo muna kung need mo nga. if your headlights dim to the music beat, then that is the time it.

Start with a good h.u. then separates.

yes, correct. the first step you need to do is to get a decent HU to replace the stock HU.

ano ba ang stock HU ng car mo ngayon?

ideally, this is what you should aim for

1. get a decent head unit
2. get a good set of front speakers (2-way separates or 3-way separates if you want)

later on..

3. add a good amp
4. add a good subwoofer or rear speakers

later on..

5. add sound deadening sheets to your ride
6. get a separate amp for your sub
7. add a good sound processor or equalizer

you don't have to follow everything in order. or you don't need to have all rin. depende yan sa taste mo.

like me, ang ginawa ko last year on my Revo was..

1. upgrade stock Kenwood HU to Pioneer AVH-1450DVD HU
2. keep the stock front 2-way separates and stock rear speakers
3. add sound deadening sheets to the 4 doors

i was planning to replace all the speakers pero di ko na tinuloy dahil maganda na ang tunog ng stock speakers after changing HU and adding sound deadeners.

[vonvergelenriqu]

Ano po ang masusugest nyo na magandang head unit?

[red_one]

*vonvergelenriqu: bang-for-the-buck is Pioneer with 2 year local warranty. other brands are Alpine, Panasonic, Sony, JBL, Kenwood, etc.

maraming salamat sa lahat ng mgagandang info

[vonvergelenriqu]

stock pa rin po ang head unit ko ng Honda Civc FD in dash po

[vonvergelenriqu]

maganda na bang Head Unit itong Pioneer AVH 1450DVD

[red_one]

*vonvergelenriqu: for me it's bang-for-the-buck. sounds good, looks good.

Pioneer AVH-1450DVD ang pinalit ko sa Kenwood HU last year. costs P10,500 with 2-yr local warranty. there's a shop that offers it for P9,500 but with 6 mos. warranty only.

it can read my 32GB Sandisk Cruzer Fit USB loaded with MP3 and AVI. the touchscreen is bright and easy to navigate. you can change the color theme, background, and animation. has preset EQ settings and user-adjustable custom EQ. comes with a handy remote control.

other features, too many to list down. refer na lang to Pioneer site.

i also added reverse camera at the same time. put the gear in reverse and video is automatically displayed on the Pioneer LCD.





if you need the Bluetooth function, you can get the next model up in the series.

Well, buti nandito si red_one taking care of the car audio section of Tsikot while I was gone :D

Anyway, here's my inputs for your 15k.
1. Get a secondhand 9887 - 10k
2. Get a subwoofer, box, and cheap amplifier for it - the rest (you'd probably need to add in a bit more)
3. Find somebody to tune your 9887

A 2DIN won't cut it unless you're eyeing to pay out more than 30k. The reason why I keep telling people to change their head unit first is because habol mo dyan are the DSP features namely time alignment and X-bands of EQ. Your main enemy in car audio is simply the car acoustics itself. Strictly speaking, sound quality is three aspects: soundstaging, imagining, and tonality. With a so-so head unit, you may achieve good tonality but fail the other two.

The adage of "change your head unit" is long past. This is because before car companies neglect the audio aspect of the vehicle this is what caused aftermarket decks to flourish. However now that the head unit is becoming more and more integrated with the car itself, car manufacturers are actually paying close attention in designing it so the gap from stock to an aftermarket deck is becoming closer. The difference between a DSP-capable aftermarket head unit and a stock head unit with a processor? Not much. Except for lower noise floors, THD%, and some variability between the frequency range measurements.

As proof, I'm running a stock head unit. For people who doubt my "audiophile" roots, let's just say not everybody has a 64k and 40k headphone at his home so I take my audio seriously.

But since most people won't readily believe me, go for the more usual route of:

1. Get a subwoofer and an amplifier for it. This fills up the lower-bass regions and would frankly be the most apparent upgrade for most people.
2. Go change your amplifier.
3. Get better speakers.
4. Deaden.
5. Finally change your head unit.
(no particular order)

And if habol mo lang talaga is clarity, keep it simple: sell your Targa and V12. Get a 5k separate component set and a 5k amplifier then be done with it.

Agree bro. But, sadly agree....

That is what I do, too, most of the times in the past...

Kaso, nga, ngayon,- integrated na sa car body ang HU,- and they're making them a-ok na rin....
