Volvo use dynaudio?
i tried s60 & v40
quite good sounding as a factory setup, but i don't know they were done by dyn
(but volvo does sound better than same class bmw & benz)
if i'm not mistaken, rockford does this for mitsubishi
few hi end model audi using b&o
few hi end model lexus using mark levinson
and etc...

Sorry, should have stated clearly on this first.... Volvo cars in Malaysia are not using Dynaudio.......
And only Mitsubishi cars in US using RF.....

hehehhe
btw, that day i passed by mitsubishi roadshow...
Certain model also designed by rf
Mitsubishi Pajero
That day i also saw rf speaker grill in grandis demo car

Demo car..... If they put RF into our local market, it will be good..... Can dream on this....

you can check the pajero link... has ringgit pricing in it
if they dare to tipu will kena sue i guess...

Well, I won't buy a Pajero because of RF speakers....

for my experience, my setup was a component in front and a 6x9 at the rear. both are running on soundstream's. Then I noticed that there's not much bass coming from the speakers, So i decided to plonk in an amp and a 8" woofer. the sound improved tremendously, that is until i hit the highway and the roadnoise will muddle up everything.

so last 2 weeks, fed up with removing my sub whenever I need to carry goods, I decided to take it off, and then use the amp to power the rear 6x9. Boy it was miles apart when it was powered by the HU. It was as good (if not better) then with the sub. Seeing it was good, I bought a 4 channel amp so that I could power my front component and rear 6x9.

Now there's more usable bass (so to speak) when im driving. Previously anything above 100km/h would mean death my my sound, now its so much clearer and the bass is much more defined (although not AS low)

So yeah I agree with the guys here. Its better to know your setup first before jumping into a sub. Its not always good and could end up killing your ICE (for me that is)

lol

Normally when Mitsubishi gives RF, they have an ambient mic installed in the car. That's their trick under their sleeves to make the stock setup sound good but when you plonked in an aftermaket unit, it sounds rubbish.

The problems lies with rubbish installer, not the aftermarket hu or rockford...

oh, but..why 4channel amp instead of 2channel? you see, i have a rear 6x9 speaker with 800watt max, that's what written there. Is that telling me something? Is the amp just increase so-called power for subwoofer? sorry i'm quite noob at this.

i also went to the roadshow, that pajero sound system really impressed me! how wish my car can be like that.
now i get abit confuse for getting sub or no. hmmmm

just wait for more amazing stuff you may learn from here.

Initially i had the 2 channel only. But I figured that if the rear speakers would sound so good with an amp, the front pairs would too so thats why i upgraded to a 4 channel.

Now my sub is gonna be on sale after a 3 year hog in my boot

so the front pairs wiring shall connect to amp too? 4channel amp output 2 to front and 2 to rear? you want to sell your sub? what brand is that?

Yeap. 2 to the front and 2 to the rear.
lol my sub? its Prokick. PM me for more details lah

How's your roof? Done? got take pic mah....share share la.

Someone mentioned about audio in Volvo. What brand of audio is volvo's using? I've been in S80 a few times and it sounded so nice. So nice I thought of buying one s80 last year.

actually i got no problem. It just that should I install a sub, because i feel my ICE is not giving me enuff bass
at the same time, i scare my car battery will die faster. Because my friend got 2 battery in his car. Hmph!

Oh. Prokick sub...how much u bought? Since you already use for 3 years, sell it to me at lelong price la. (Still in good condition boh?)

im using only 1 battery, NS60 somemore. 4channel amp/sub etc. no problem also lol.
