Sorry to dissappoint you folks. But when it comes to vocals and SQ... It is very hard to achieve with a tight budget. Unless it is done step by step. Before you startedd off, it is a good idea to audition cars fitted with ICE to know what you want. Just some advices...

QUOTE(cloudstrife07 @ May 19 2006, 04:18 PM) a new ICE wannabe here so to say,im planning to upgrade the sound of my potong saga 1.3 special edition taht comes wif stock clarion radio/cassete player,stock rear speakers n a pair of pioneer speakers at the frnt doors.(erk,dunno who installed it,my father mayb?) im planning a soft-upgrade to enhance te sound.what shud i get tho?tweeters? 6x9 speakers?amps?  really dunno bout this things.the budget is around rm500..i dun need a super-duper bass where everyone can hear outside,but jus something nice n pleasant for me n the passengers. well,for the music,im into every genre..YES,everyone of 'em..country,R&B,metal,rock,pop,trance,everything.. thanks for the opinions.long live ICE  Cloud, Based on your car, I would say the first thing to go would be the stock muffler. Been in one Saga SE, and it is terribly noisy. So I really would recommend that to go first. It would interfere tremendously and at the end of the day, you dont enjoy your ICE, rather you will easily get fatigued by all the noises. Your pioneer, what kinda speakers? Co-ax or component speakers. If can maybe shed some light on the speakers itself. Thanks.

QUOTE(arj @ May 11 2006, 05:23 AM) Hey guys, I'm thinking of upgrading my car (Waja) audio but I know nuts about them and don't know where to start. I'm thinking about starting out with something simple with a max budget of RM1000. There's a forum member selling Soundstream speakers for RM350 which he claims will set you back RM800 at the shops. What do you guys think of them? Is there anything better within my budget? Can I use them with the stock Waja CD player? You can use the speakers in the car, but you cant mount it onto the Waja power window console. So like what Princehamsap said, mount it on the outside. I would recommend you to do some search on the Soundstream speaker first before doing anything. You see, when you got yourself a pair of speakers that require a lot of power to drive, you will need a powerful amp. And most powerful amps are not cheap. Even 2nd hand. Some even surpass your budget of 1000. Get some easy to run, decent component set within your budget. That way lots of things are achiavable. Waja HU have 2 pair of pre out, 1 for sub and 1 for front components, also the HU is not very powerful. Peak recorded was 0.7V +/-. So my recommendation still is get something easy to run.

QUOTE(jing_kohkoh @ May 18 2006, 03:25 PM) I m noob, anybody can explain what is tweeter for, how does it look like? what is crossover for? wat is pre-amp and amp for? what is difference btween 2-way, 3-way, 4-way speaker, component speaker? what is coaxial speaker? what is subwoofer for? is HU important for sound quality? I would like to have ICE which gives clear vocals, and fairly sufficient powerful bass for techno, (but not ah beng one, only can hear drumbeat), how to setup within RM800? Tweeter is for you to play the high fq... Mainly playing vocals. Crossover is a device where it controls the frequency input into the components. Pre-amp is for you to manipulate your signals coming out from the HU. Usually not needed as most HU these days are very advanced. Amp is for you to amplify the signal.. For 2, 3, 4 ways, I think you can chek one of the thread here. Subwoofer is for you to supply the low frequency. Depending on brand and materials used, some sub can go very low... HU is important. Correct me if Iam wrong.
