what about PIONEER DEH-2350UB will it be able to fit my car ? i found it at a reasonable price. totally lost in this subject and also do i need any other components for it to work ?

that alone iss good enough.

That's not true. Got the money play with different brands of caps and resisters and transisters, that's tuning also what. Blackgates vs Panasonics vs Mundorfs, etc. Different caps produce different types of sound and different values adjust the crossover points, slope, etc.

Passive crossover tuning is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more expensive than active but messing with passive crossovers is a lot more interesting and active can't change the characteristic of the sound whereas passives can.

Just a matter of interest, know-how and money.

Aiyo.

The most basic sound system consists of a player (HU/headunit), speakers (components or 2-way/3-way) and a sub (active/standalone). All cars have these things (ok.. maybe not a sub).

If you have a car that has a built in stuff like the VWs then be prepared to replace the entire dash (middle panel) with an aftermarket adaptor to fit aftermarket players.

Since your car is just a Kembara, replacing the player is just a matter of taking out your old one and installing the new one. There's no such thing as whether it can "fit your car" or not. If it's a complete panel player like those taken out from a Camry, it will not fit. If it's an aftermarket from Pioneer, Sony, Alpine, etc.. then it'll fit for sure. Just a matter of with or without an aftermarket bracket/adaptor.

you can do the same with a semi active/passive setup.

and that's more of an in depth knowledge than a basic/general idea. something that most people either
- don't have the money to do it
- not willing to mod/replace their original passives (or HU/amp caps/resisters etc for that matter)

so i don't see how what i provided is "not true" in its entirety

semi-active? Now you're just picking on words already. You specifically said active is this this this, passive is this this this.. so I said not true.

Now you talk about semi-active that's a different thing already la.

If you don't have money for expensive caps, you can always opt for the cheaper audio caps from China. May not have the same effect but still works. So tuning isn't just "limited to HU EQ Bands" only.

Quote for truth!

at the end of the day the information i provided was not false, no?

why tuning active using proc can be headache. everything is at the touch of the button + memory preset. no need to crawl under the seat or etc. tuning all done in a cosy air cond environment. u can have multiple preset tuning to try eventually will be ther.

its fun. owner can tweak it n installer can tweak too. no good can alwiz revert to previous settings. this is the best way to learn.

that is a positive way of viewing it

This is why I'm going Semi active
