i second to that sir niwde11, overstock. haha. i just told nap123 to enlist his trooper in one of the local autoshows? hehe. OT na sorry..

ShowMeThePappi - ask your mechanic to do some safety checks on your steering system. check your power steering pump if they are original and intact and no welds. And most importantly, check your pitman arm for any cut-and-welds.

As for the front speakers, don't go for the three ways speakers if you want to preserve the stock look kasi di mo na maisasara using the stock speaker covers. It would give you more kalansing sounds in addition to your tweeters on your A-pillar.. if you are specific to that but your speakers would be exposed.

just my two pennies worth.

TS, if limited budget mo. Buy ka na lang sa Raon, 10K can go very far there. Yung subs na project ko would cost around 5-6K if I where to buy there incl. amplifier. Already spent 4K for my front and rear speakers (Pioneer) which we bought at Raon.

Frankly, I did not change any of my 6 stock speakers (2 tweeters included). I just installed the basstube at the 3rd row area and the sound was great! The stock 6 speakers served as good "separates".

Total cost of sound upgrade: P15k (cost of basstube)

Yung setup ko mura lang naman ORIGINAL V12 AMPLIFIER 2000W 4CH from the supplier ng Sony -3K lang
front speaker -Macrom 160 watts lang kaya kailangan palitan stocks twitter need to be upgrade to new http://www.sony-asia.com/product/xs-gtr1720s
5K lang price as per may contact sa supplier. Technology kasi bilis kaya nagmumura na ang price.

rear speaker - sony speakers na forgot the wattage mura din eto.
subwoofer - 10inch lang na sony xplod 1200 watt -4K kasama na ang box
Headunit - sony dv2200 http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAu...EX-DV2200.aspx 190usd ko lang nakuha yan pero dito 22K plus sa ACE na hehehe.

Hindi naman kailangan mahal yung setup mo mas importante tama ang timpla hehehe.

thank you for your responses sirs, you all have great insights and i am indeed taking notes.Ü
di ko lang maharap yung trooper ngayon kasi jampak sa work and i barely have free time.
tsaka question lang po not related sa sound setup.. nagkaproblema pa ako kasi within this week twice na diskarga battery ko,i made sure naman na all the lights are shut off and doors are closed properly. its also strange kasi ngayon wala na lights yung "icons" ko sa dash board. any ideas guys? is this just a simple case of discharged battery or is it something serious? tomorrow morning ko pa mapapacharge kasi i had to leave because im running late for work. (L300 dala ko sa work ngayon parang magdedeliver lang hehe). pls help.. thanks!

also as a side note i think 1993/1994 yung model ng big horn kasi sya yung knob type and yung grill nya sa harab ay yung saktong rectangle.. just compared pics that i found in google. =D

You're welcome.

If you didn't forget any switches on, it could either be a case of:

Defective battery (one or more plates may already be dead so recharging would not do much help)
Bad ground (causing discharge)

There are shops to confirm and determine which of both. If both are found not to be the cause of the discharge, have your alternator checked if it's charging as expected.

Now I must remind you that you need to address this concern first before even thinking of spending/installing sounds upgrade. Doing so would only aggravate the situation for it would be more difficult to isolate the one causing the problem.

Good luck!

Hula ko lang.. have your charging system (alternator) diagnosed by an electrician. Baka di na nagkakarga. or baka luma na talaga battery mo..
