So means tat nothing can be done orely arrr?..

can, anything is possible with some money. (id reckon you'd need to pay to get good tuner to help tune your system)

in all seriousness though, i'd save up and/or sell your existing system to get a proper system smile.gif

1) I'm using Kenwood U435 HU, what is the default setting on the HU to set if want to tuning the sound from amp.?

2) Is the HU LOUDNESS need to OFF or put it to highers setting when tuning the amp.?

3) Does it really need for a passive crossover for the component set is compulsory.?

4) A pre-amp or Active crossover (E-Crossover) which is better or both needed if want to have a good sound system

5) Can I bridge the amp from 4ch to 2ch to boost the component set (since I already have 4ch and only a single set of component used) and the bridged monoblock to hit the 12" woofer as well.?

6) Will the sound affected if I do fiberglass and put the component set in front door.? and do some anger of 30 degree face up center position. Just to make it nicer look compare to the tweeter original place (left and right of windscreen below)

6) My woofer sound abit weird when listening to normal music/song (means no boom-boom or punching), the woofer seems like some air hohhhh,,hohhhh sound following the music tune. Is it the woofer bass sound not divided enough or really need a E-Crossover to make it better.?

Please correct me if my statement is not clear or wrong...

Cheers,,,

1) unless you're using mid/high end HUs, id suggest the EQs/tuning to be kept minimal/none

2) off, you don't want double (or more) amping to introduce noise unnecessarily

3) component sets will include a passive crossover (otherwise it will be called coaxial speakers, NOT component set speakers), it is compulsory in a passive setup to have proper frequency filtering. in an active setup, an additional cross over and/or processor/preamp will do the frequency filtering instead

4) crossover is typically better unless you're buying a really expensive pre-amp. additionally, consider upgrading the other items/components first before even thinking on processors/crossovers/preamp

5) not much point, there is only so much power a component set speakers can take until you fry them. not to mention if your amp isnt efficient/clean, you *may potentially* introduce additional noise into the speakers

6) if you're using cheap component set speakers, not much point. money is better spent upgrading the speakers

7) you need proper low frequency filtering to the woofer. if no bass should be played, the woofer should be kept quiet.

Hi, care to explain how is the situtation when the amp is not efficient/clean?
Coz my speakers seems to introduce some "shh shh" noise sometimes where i suspect is the amp problem.
Thanks.
*
that seems to be electrical noise as i have mentioned. Have you tried lowering the amp gains and see if the problem is resolved? if yes, then there you have it. if no, maybe it could be the HU (double amping as i mentioned) or other components (pre-amp?) that does it.

Yeah, something like electrical noise. Yes, have tried lower up the amp gain, problem still there.
I have no pre-amp in my car. But the amp is relatively old. I suspect it reach it's life span. Because previously nvr have such problem occur.
*
try take out the amp and/or use another amp to test. if it solves it, then we know wheres the culprit smile.gif

can opt for some mid range HU/component set. else could get entry lvl HU/component set and maybe an amp to drive the component set too with a bit of top up.

ok i see
at the moment i already have a budget HU which fits the slot
maybe just components and amp will do??
and btw what is the difference between components and midbass?
im a bit noob at ICE tongue.gif lol
*
2-way component set speakers have tweeters + mid bass and a passive crossover (frequencies filtering)
3 way has an added mid, and mid bass will be pushed to play lower frequencies mainly and have the mids do all the upper mid frequencies reproduction

=edit=
please refer to this pinned thread: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2488305
