monoblock.. is a type of amp. it only has one channel. meaning meant to power only one speaker (one speaker..not one pair). mainly used for subwoofers.

the job of an amplifier is like the name...its to amplify the sound... the built in amplifiers in most players are not powderful enough. thats why u need an external amp to push it push it somemooooooooooooooooooooreee.

u dont need amps to push speakers...but subwoofers is recommended...in fact its almost a must...

both of ur budgets too low. and i mean too low

@edwinlim
i doubt even a brother's cd player will cost less than 200. but u could always go there to check it out....remember...u pay what u get

@singchaii
400 cannot get u all those stuff. even u get chapalang oso cannot get all those stuff for 400. try adding another 0 to ur budget and itll get u thumbup.gif stuff brows.gif

but for 400 mebbe can get u the lowest end cd player. i bought my old kenwood for rm438. bad ass player... but that was 4 years ago tongue.gif

wahahahhahaa....thats how i felt oso dude....but that time pokai and needed one...so i bought it and ended up i decided to use it til i sold off the car thumbup.gif

but seriously, just go for an electronic x-over. sound quality is better than a preamp...only thing is u cant fiddle with the settings while ur driving.

since u already have a hi-lo converter than u can just connect it to a pre-amp or electronic x-over

whichever one u decide to buy....connection is still the same...

HU -> hi-lo converter -> pre-amp/elec x-over -> amp x 2 -> speakers

some amps can use the hi connection (aka speaker cables) to directly connect to it. if thats what ur doing now then i suggest u get a hi-lo converter to make use of the preamp /x-over

throw away the 6x9 if ur using subwoofer.... they spoil the sound coming from the subwoofer and makes everything else sound like shit. 6x9 should only be used if a sub is not present.

u can either remove the rear speakers completely or replace it with a set of 6.5" 2-way coaxials or 2-way components.

i would also adivse u to get another 2channel amp. to make 1 amp power the woofer and 1 amp power the front speakers....

if u decide to use rear speakers can just connect directly to the pleayer. the other speakers like i mentioned above with the amp.

never heard of nickle before.... but i would advice on using 2 same woofers if u wanna run 2 woofers.

as for the amp....yes...thats what i said above...better get another 2 channel just for the front components.

and ive never heard of any mid bass amplifier before. so to be safe i suggest getting a 2 channel.

u wanna keep the 6x9? then dont use woofer.

if u wanna use the woofer either throw or change the 6x9 for 6" 2-way components/2-way coaxials

6x9 spoils the bass from the woofer. no idea why...it just does. some say itll sound like shit but my friends old car u cant even hear the bass from the woofer when the 6x9 are plugged in. just unplug the wire and the woofer starts booming again. plug back the 6x9 and the woofer goes back to being silent. but u can see the woofer moving and pumping as if its running normally...

2. You have to change the player. Because Japan have short wave band search which is nothing can be done.

no need change player laaaa.... u can go to reputable accesory shops and get the frequency booster (i think thats what its called). its an add on so u wont have to change the player... cost is around 100 if i remember correctly.

just go to the accesory shop and tell them ur issue about the japanese player and im sure theyll know.

I need advise again! haha..

Digital Crossover is better or Preamp is better? I want to install a gadget which I can tune the sound. Some recommended me Digital Crossover and some said Preamp. So can someone give me some positive idea?
*
electronix xover is generally better. downside is u cant really tune the thing while driving.

preamp, when installed at the right place can tune easily. biggrin.gif

sori bro, offtopic here wanna ask something to sifu here sweat.gif

sifu, i got this pioneer HU n with the cd changer at the back.. the problem is, there is one wire which is thick black in color n connecting the HU n the cd changer tht my dad accidentally cut it without knowing tht wire cable cannot b cut or else the HU n the cd changer will not work..

i tried going to acc shop n they said without this wire cable, they cannot do anything unless i find similar one to replace it..

so i wanna ask sifu here, how much is the thick black wire cable? i heard they said can only buy at pioneer factory, n the price they said around rm200-rm300, izzit true?

im kinda desperate to use the HU as i wan to replace with my current persona default HU which is fm reception is like crap sweat.gif
*
Thats the CD Changer Control cable.

yes the price is around 2-300. and its not easy to find in accesory shops unless theyre used and the previous owner doesnt want it anymore.

i bought one long ago for my ex-sony player + changer and a second hand 1 costs me around 200 already. and thats after 2-3 weeks of searching accesory shops.

imho, if u can find a way to re-connect the cable (if u know how la) then try it first...otherwise, ur gonna have to go hunting.

good luck.

that i dont know...

mine was a sony player + changer and the cable was also from a sony. although im not sure if the cable was from the same model player.

my guess is u should contact pioneer directly and see if u can obtain the cable from them and of course the price.

in my case i was lucky. the shop just happened to have it lying around. but its something i wouldnt wanna test my luck with again though tongue.gif
