In SQ environment, how much rms/watt that we need actually for the speakers?
*
In sq, the right word is seeking for quality rms not quantity.
Generally a good quality 50rms and above will do

Reading this thread with interest cos I am also FLX owner.

My thoughts:
- HU should not change if tight on budget cos this would also render the steering wheel controls useless.
- Get the best rear spkrs u can afford, if dun want to drill bigger hole, find a circular 6-inch spkrs like DynAudio
- Also upgrade side door spkrs but bear in mind these spkrs are pointing at your feet, so because of the law of dynamics, no matter how good these spkrs are, they would be useless cos of its "bad" location
- Install a 4-ch amp under seat to drive 4-spkrs
- Add a woofer in the boot (if no space for additional amp to drive sub, buy those active subs). If boot space is an issue, can use bass-tubes (JBL used to make them) which can be easily be detached when u need space

I think that would be the most basic setup.

Of course, if one retains the stock HU, must match it to the right amps. I am not sure if local shops allow customers to audit hu+amps+spkrs combination before buying? Waiting for feedback if you agree/disagree on my opinion.

Good feedback. This thread seems dormant. Bump to revive it.

Planning to upgrade my FLX Exec Ice.

My thoughts.
1. Keep HU as the Clarion seems to work well with my USB Drive and Aux. I also do not wish to render the steering controls useless.
2. Had offers for a Dynaquest 2Ch Amp and a MTX 6" component speakers.
And another offer of a Maestro 6" speaker set up with MB Quart 2ch Amp. Don't know which one to spend on ...
3. Front speakers upgrade considered "useless"? Hmm.... wonder whether I shoukd change the front speakers.

Any fresh thoughts?

Guys, need advice

I just got a new car proton flx sv and am looking for a trusted & good car accessories shop to fix up new speakers for my car. Previously had bad experiences in shops near my office.

Any recommendation for professional and good shops around ss2?
