hi all sifu2

i just got my new civic. so plan to improve my stock audio.
i got magnat bullpower4 amp & rockford fosgate series 1 12" subwoofer (taken from previous ride).. so i can just re-use them again to build my setup

HU for civic is built-in..i'm not planning to change it. it doesn't have any preouts. so i'll need a hi-lo converter for the connections.

i just went to one of reputable installer in KL. at first i didn't plan to change my stock speaker. but my installer advice me to change my front.. otherwise i won't be satisfied and might damage my stock speaker. after re-think i decided to change my front speaker too.

they quoted me rm600 for the installation which includes hi-lo converter, a very good cables origin from UK which i forgot the name already, lol.. Y-splitter, and they can make my rear speakers alive too.. and plus tuning. issit ok the cost?

and since i'm a beginner (don't plan to go much further).. they recommend me Alpine Type S component speaker. price is rm600. issit good ?

i decided to save some money first for my planning. since overall cost already rm1200.. i plan to stretch my budget abit to rm1500.. so my choice of component speaker can be around rm900.. any brand to recommend me?

thanks.. sorry for the long post

ok thx. considering that i'm gonna stick with my current HU, amp & sub (i don't think i'm gonna upgrade further).. does my setup be able to match with those components that u recommended? or it just no diff with the alpine type S that my installer recommended.. due to any possible bottleneck??

oh okay.. thanks bro. will look for type-R model. any other model u recommend for SQ?
