sifus out there, im so new to ICE.. recently got an Pioneer TS-W308D4 sub but my amp is not power enuf to maximise it's bass..
any pro sifus out there can recommend any mid range monoblock to drive this double magnet double coil to at least 90% of its capacity?
budget for the monoblock around rm1k++
pls advise

Emm...... How about Agako XT3000D? It should be around that price.

wow checked the price of the Agako.. rm1400++ sweat but good feedback from it..
hmph any other suggestions??

Which shop? Or try to look for shop that can order for you, which maybe cheaper if the shop owner got no intention to cut your throat nicely.

some online seller at zerotohundred.. how much is the market price or cheaper price?
u can get one at supplier price?

Nope, just happen when I'm searching for amps last time and drop by to an acc shop. I ask him and he say have to order and it was rm1100 if not mistaken. Because he don't keep stock, so he never charge the rental fees. Is good that you look at your nearby acc shops and ask them if they can order for you....
Now I seldom buy locally as I prefer to buy from US.

oh wow if it's rm1100 then i might get it.. which acc shop? can recall? =)
oh by the way bro, getting from US cheaper or not? maybe u can get one for me =p

In Port Dickson the shop.....
Nope, buy in US does not mean it will be cheaper. But hell cheaper than what acc shops selling here. Like Pioneer monoblock for <rm1000.
And I will put more budget on it by getting a better monoblock... That's why I get myself a JL HD750/1. I saw once an old JL amp E series selling for rm2000 for 4 channel....

wow cool... pioneer mono for <rm1000..
bro may i know which site do u visit in order to purchase from the US?
might consider that too =) is it safe to trade wif them? how long would the item normally arrive malaysia after payment?

Ebay. You need a credit card, then open a paypal account. Normally it takes 1 to 2 weeks. But if you want faster also can, but the shipping cost is very high. There's some setbacks on buying from US as you may get taxed when those a$$Holes(customs) are hardworking. Some of the sellers are good by under declare the value which is good(and bad if something happens).
I got my monoblock declared for USD50 only by the seller....

aikss...too bad i don hv a credit card nor a paypal account... seems quite troublesome =(
wat do u mean under declare the value? means by giving u at cost price? monoblock for USD50??

Nope, when the item is crossing the border, it must be declared. By under clare the true value, you no need to pay tax. This is something the seller make it more attractive.
Indeed it is troublesome, but atleast you can get something good deals.

considering its only a 400W sub and dvc, u should be able to easily find a monoblock in that budget, just make sure its a good brand

just browsed mycarhifi.com, a few amps u just missed:
audison lrx Rm1.1k
Orion D1200 Rm750
JBL BP600.1 RM750

of coz these are 2nd hand la, so if u are patient and rajin to browse other forums, u can find some good deals

ok just browsed icehifi.com, few there for you...

JBL BP600.1 new RM1000
JBL GTO 601.1 II new - RM1500

BP600.1 temp to overheat....don't pressure it too much

thanks sifus for all the advise.
by the way, just trying to ask.. as i had just changed a nakamichi component set ranging rm850, planning to get a 4ch amp to drive both my comp set and sub 1st.. as my current 4ch amp cant drive both to the maximum..
any 4ch amp recommended?
then only i'll change a monoblock to fully power my sub and the 4ch amp to drive my comp as well =)

1) set the wiring all car room floor 4AWG power cable 1st (mainly under front passenger side or driver side) 1 more 4AWG to rear bonet special long cable for your monoblock

2) speaker cable 8AWG - 12AWG to front speaker both side and to rear SW speaker

3) prepare / buy a good 3 set RCA cable for 4 channel (need 2 RCA and 1 monoblock need 1 RCA) depend how many output your HU

This wiring very important; do 1 time enough, then nextime if you want change amplifier no need to install over again. Suggest get a very good 4 channel amplifier 1st (prefer high end) so nextime if you nakamichi comp set no satisfy then change comp set again.

wow pro man.. lol im not so sure bout the wiring but i remember i use some good cables but not too expensive ones.. still very new in ICE
so wat 4ch amp do u suggest? this one ok --> alpine PDX 4.100 ? as wat u suggested me in my other thread..
do u hv a shop bro? u sounds like a professional maybe i can go over ur shop and hv a look..
by the way how much is the alpine amp above?

i do have shop but NOT selling ICE stuff, i'm just like u starting learn ICE stuff few week ago ^^ btw i selling condom, s3xtoy like I NEED HOUSE, mine one got 7 branch throughout east malaysia.

I learn from supersound, robinhood, bafukie, zennn, ckmoy007, howie, mywifecar, craziechild, pieces and many more. They give some comment, all u need to listen and make your own decision whether its work or not?

Alpine PDX 4.100 nice ma, coz i using it. When turn to loud volume the alpine gv nominal 100watt x 4 channel at 4ohm (stable) nice amp, won't heat up like other capalang amp.
