Added on May 18, 2011, 11:45 amsince ur into more R&B and etc..the system build will require the following
1. good punchy 'lively' sub-bass and can play moderate to loud
2. highs should have texture NOT 'thin' sounding feel and piercing highs..to avoid fatique listening at moderate to loud volume
3. strong 'midrange' presence to be musically connected
4. wide ambience feel and the listener must feel dat ur inside the music NOT 'away from the music..damn good feel
* pls no iasca/emma tuning style..all the staging is at the dashboard, meaning away from the listener!!
5. overall should sound 'lively'

* u cant really listen to Black Eyed Peas, Lady Gaga or even Justin Bieber(..lol) at low volume. these songs are meant to play moderate to loud volume.. also NOT to forget avenged sevenfold.

* at audio creations, after years of research with lots of resources spent, we understand that when u play loud most sub tends to sound hard..resulting not musical or very 'fake' bass sounding.
AC alwiz strive for 'perfection' or to get close to 'audio nirvana'. conventional install + setup, premium brands + countless hours of tuning juz wont do anymore. there's a ceiling of how much u can improve. we 'break' that barrier!!
we have found a solution into building a sub enclosure which greatly reduce the hard sounding effect.
using polyfill, egg-crate foam, and building wedge enclosure is NOT sufficient..
the sub cabinets are classifield under 'premium built enclosure, revison 2'.

as i mention to you earlier, if ur into buying brands, i give u lots of big brands choices and they are NOT at entry level hardware. mostly mid-premium level for each brand. the 'best part', all are affordable.

but if ur into buying sound, i wouldnt suggest all of the above except genesis DM. u need a 'right' driver to do the job for all the above criteria

happy icing..lets built a new-comer car hifi at elevated stage. dont fall into the syndrome/disease(whic is common) 'buy-sell-buy' game. end up losing money and juz going into circles and comin back to point A again.
should invest and enjoy the system now, not keep upgrading and changing hardware year after year. then only well invested and 'shiok'.

my honest opinion.pls dun flame me.
