Hi. Im total newb and would like a recommendation for a HU. The brand I'm looking now is alpine coz fren of mine prefers that. My budget would be around rm1200. The car is an accord 2000. Not sure about the brand for my amp and subwoofer(configured by someone else). prefers SQ. Which one is better :Alpine IDA X3xx series and CDA 10x series? thanks

he's using passives. i think the problem lies in the s60. entry lvl and light midbass. if u get something like focal k2p, then midbass will be there. u soundproofed ur doors?

if not complicated then probably people wont charge a premium to do them...

but good news is once you tried, along the way you will get better then eventually you could charge people for tuning their cars...

anyway... good luck on the midbass...

cheers..

Just went to have a listen at the SX60.. I didn't really like it. The SL60 is far better but at a RM300 premium.

Any shops in PJ that are recommended to have a look at?

Thank you.

Whoops, my bad. I forgot to mention the shops I've been to.

Elegance Audio - Kelana Jaya - German Maestro "A"-Series
KK Lau - Kelana Jaya - Infinity Reference 6030CS
KF Audio - Aman Suria - Boston Acoustics S60/SX60/SL60
Quest Audio - Subang SS15 - Dominations Dlite

So far I've only heard both the Boston Acoustics and Dominations, and I must say, the Dominations impressed me. Elegance Audio is in the process of installing a demo unit of the German Maestro so I'll most likely have a listen to it tomorrow. KK Lau wouldn't set up a demo of the Infinity for me so I think I have to look somewhere else for Infinity's.

Any more shops to recommend? I want to make sure I make the right decision.

Ooh Focal, gotta check them out too then.

Thanks for all the recommendations/suggestions so far guys!

Yeah I guess so..

Besides these five brands - Focal, Dominations, Infinity, German Maestro and Boston Acoustics, there's no other sub-RM800 component speakers worth mentioning huh?

Micro Precision highest spec? the Z series? the cone made from aluminium foil one? dats is damn expensive, lucky u got the chance to listen. i think MP are not cheap. lowest series is 3 series. they follow BMW, 3, 5, 7 and Z series.
