your speaker will get a little bit more juice than the rated 4ohm power... nothing else happens...

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..

naka can get at those price... but not the top model... if they are still stocks...

other for you considerations are P80, eclipse 5/7 series, alpine...

QUOTE(Jusstatic)
Hi all, I am a complete noob in Car audio. But I would like to get a 2-DIN cd/wma/mp3 audio player. Gonna use back my original VIOS speakers though. Quite alot of brands out there...like Clarion, Alpine, Pioneer etc..Dunno what to choose, dunno which shop got good installation skills.

My concern is the installation part. Budget for the player 800 to 1200K


with that budget... hmm... maybe a few full alpine F#1 and full pioneer ODR also no problem... tongue.gif

anyway... for 800 till 1.2k price range... best you could get is maybe a alpine 9887... if dun mind used... pioneer p80 & p80rs2 are some good bet... not to forget the alpine 9855, clarion D1(and the family) etc...

hope these helps...

cheers.gif

is the amp still operational now? have you test it with another driver?

thats normal on some caps... only shows voltage when there is a charging current...

anyways... my workflow for you...
1. check your wire conditions. seems to me that you have something like a faulty wires somewhere. from the power cable, RCA cable, speakers' cable...
2. dun think the cap is the culprit for a burnt mid... dun see the resemblance... never encounter cases like this before as well...
3. HU grounding... had one case where the HU grounding came off and the system just went hay wire from one condition to another... turns out the HU was taking ground from the HU chasis... not the wire... and its alpine HU...
4. and i hope its not this one... your gain settings? too high and it might just burnt your driver's VC... normal case when the gain is too high...
5. the last thing i would like to think... the amp just over-heated due to low voltage supplies... it turns on and off while music is playing... and one day it just decides to shuts down... happens to a lot of the V12 amps you show in the pic... especially the monos...

good luck...

Yeah, with this group of people, then only the ICE industry can survive.
And sometimes I just like to organise teh tarik meetups, I can futher cheat people.

without that group of people... the industry did survived... if not why old ICE shops are still around since the 90s till today? why new good ICE shops still keeps popping up like mushrooms till today? and ICE competition still organised with hundreds of competitiors?

and organise TT to cheat people?
again, talking about 0 profits, enthusiasm and free help.. guess they never exist huh supersound?
or you just got so desperate of clearing your chikai-ton under your bed but still phailed... brows.gif

and you can further cheat people?
meaning you did some con jobs before? brows.gif now with this, i like to warn the ICERs when buying stuff from you... beware of this conman!

Hahaa.. Thats quite a BIG amount.... Better don't haa.. biggrin.gif  stick to your advise unless i really got that HIGH budget. I'm easily influence by the others heh.  Thanks yea. Thanks for the help. thumbup.gif  notworthy.gif  smile.gif

hmm... before following anyone's advise... i advise you to go around and have an audition/testing yourself...

having add an inductor is the super budgety thing to do... but i doubt that RM200 - RM300 wasted would last you long enough of enjoyable sound... and by the time you havent forgot about the RM200 - RM300... you just need to add an amp... which most of them comes with an e-xover, high level input if you do not wan to change your HU... a proper sub with enclosure... then you would be starting to think... "whats the first RM200 - RM300 spent for?" want to sell? hmm you must be joking... supersound wont even assist in buying from USA... what more to say buy back from you?

anyway... budget RM500... actually there is a lot of things you could do... just depends on whether you engaged with the right idea, and do your own homeworks... RM500 for a good amp is not impossible... and certainly not impossible to achieve some high quality sound as well... the budget that supersound gave? hmm... well havent you know? he is all out to take down every acc shop in malaysia mission... its just crappy overrated budget...

but before i give more info... you would have to answer my question:
how far would you go with your ICE?

and i am not talking about spending money... i am talking about your enthusiasm...

^Get a new car first then only you put more effort and money on it. Because your first mistake already made(getting the lowest end Pioneer HU). Amp's onboard crossovers are very limited, it may not able to suit your need sometimes. As most of them have 0-500Hz only. But even for the lowest end Pioneer HU, the speaker outputs power is pretty decent. Getting speakers with rated power of 20-50W(like the Pioneer's 4" coaxial) will be good,

craziechild : Indeed my mission is to shoot down acc shop's business, especially in KL area which you and some others are doing the free ads for them(or employed by them, whatever). I'm pretty sure I won't help others to buy, because the conversion rate is changing everyday and I don't want any potential problem that surface out later on. Or since you like to personal attacking me, why not you do this? Or unless you will be paying for the difference, then I will help.

eh boy... use your brain... if someone ask you to help buying, of course la that buyer is gonna bear the differences... so next question is... why you have to think that you have any problem with it? or its just plain "no profit, do for what?" mindset fo yours... or its just all talks... under declare la... madisound la... JL HD750/1 la... woah... all bulls? all talk but cannot go? laugh.gif anyway... i find your bulls everywhere... initially "i wont step into a acc shop, then in another thread, i found XXX amp in a acc shop somewhere with XXX price... laugh.gif

why i dun do the buying for icers? well... what for... i trust the local market + sg market is well enough to provide the service and equipment that all ICErs need... other than that enthusiast are everywhere to assist anyway they could... and i wont be suggesting buying from USA unless the buyer knows the risk... salah salah 250USD gone because the package arrived with a hole...

free ads? where is my free ads? laugh.gif i work for KL/any accesories shop? where? which one? doh.gif i am just a student... not an installer, or a ICE worker of any kind... i dun even have a job... let alone employed... sweat.gif

but hey... you are selling crappy-ton... wan to talk about free ads... look into the mirror first la kid...

personal attacking? hmm... i dun like it actually... but i write out what i see wrong... so that people dun get mislead... if all are good infos... i will just kept quiet like the last few days... but you... hmm... i think you like personal attacks and become a monitor hero more than anyone here... but ask you out for friendly TT... kecut hati you... except when got water fish in your area... woah... that one you like the most... can con off some money ma right?

and lastly... why not i do this?
i am not a conman wannabe... wink.gif

hi sifuss ..

DO you guys know these two brands - Saga and Stream Audio ???

Craziechild , so what can do with RM500 ?? An average AMP is around how much ?? Pls do recommend some.

Thanks.
*
to start with... search around for a 2nd hand amps... nowadays old school stuff which sounds a lot better than the current products lines are selling dirt cheap... next, 2nd hand good true 4AWG power cables... could be found at dirt cheap price as well... DIY speaker and RCA cables using quality LAN copper cables which were like RM0.5~2/m... all these squeezable into RM500... been there done that... and results are not bad for starters but heck it does needs a lot of enthusiasm... cuz you cant see the results right away without get down and sweat yourself... and why LAN cables? because cheapo OFC cables always grow fungus inside the sleeves, LAN cables dun... this is like what amp + installs labour charge: RM450, power cable: RM100, LAN cables: RM50

as for your front speaker... this would have to see which series are you going for... good speakers dun come cheap... this you know... so the rest you should do is save up for a front speaker... but if you are really broke and need a speaker in front.. no problem, transfer the back ones to the front...

dun let your ride value determine your enthusiasm... if you are enthusiastic about the whole ICE thing... get longer cables... at least a sedan car's length... that way you could transfer everything to your new car next time with the excess length...

thats mostly the idea... along the way... you enjoy the whole process... and along the way... you understand what makes it sound better and why... and i am pretty sure you will avoid the things that doesnt aound good to you right... by common sense la that one... wink.gif smile.gif smile.gif

4awg power cables is for you to get your amp power supply from the car battery...

amp recommendations? old school amps would go for rf, soundstream, PPI, a/d/s etc etc... where to look for these amps? forum's buy sell section...

saga and stream audio... are the amps sorta in pink/blue colour with some painted/cheap emblem on? biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

difference between a good and poor amp? hehehe... well... put it this way... whats the difference between a cheap bed and a slumberland? a kancil and a mini cooperS? you get the idea? both works as as the same thing, but one is talking about quality, durability etc etc... the other one is just a car/bed/amp...

features? hmmm there is a lot... but the important thing is... reviews from the people who actually used the stuff and could prove to you the claims... and the very important stuff you should remember is: it sounds good to yourself...

cheers.gif

hmm... no comment about the amps... so i wont talk much about it la...

if dun use 4awg cables... what cables do you suggest to get your power? yea... its just to supply power... but you cant tap from the HU for you amps...

speaker cable... further save cost... ori would work fine as well... but you have to connect the wire from the amp to the ori factory speaker wires... no problem...
