You got a custom passive done for yourself?!?! WAh.. respect

Speaking of which I have a pair of modified Dynaudio passives with mundorf caps in place of the stock stuff and mundorf resisters everywhere. Thinking of letting it go since I'm not using it. Anyone interested? Heh.

I'm curious to have a listen to your m-line. Have they been run in completely yet?

Uh.. why did you buy two? One type-R sub in a sealed box or a ported box is plenty of bass man. But being a dual 4-ohm means you can hook both subs up at 1ohm. But that PDX can handle only 2 ohm or 4 ohm. So hooking up the two type-R subs will have to be 4ohm which personally I find is quite soft. Even at 1200w RMS (14.4v) 4ohm may or may not be your cup of tea. If it's not, I recommend you go with just one sub.

Oh since it's 4ohm, use sealed if you're going to stick with using both subs wired to 2ohm each.

Hi bro izso the passives are not custom it's just from the factory tongue.gif hehe
The speakers are not completely run in yet tongue.gif because just arrived yesterday biggrin.gif

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.

This is why I'm going Semi active smile.gif

Yes. I thought you were told that your car have such voltage limitation....no?

But you can see that some of the tech spec for amplifiers do specify, that the power rating is at 14.4v.

But since yours is using Crossfire, then I think you should have plenty of oohmmp.

Something still lacking in your setup?

car got voltage limitation?
i thought should be around 14-14.4?

- My ride: Toyota Altis
- Prefers SQ/SPL/SQL: SQ
- File format/medium used for my source: (mp3/iphone)
- Music genre: jazz, pop including k pop
- Budget: 1K - 1.5K
- Setup type preferences: I am new to ICE. My car is almost 10 years and I have a bunch of parts that I need to change according to the SC and roughly cost me 10K. I hope I don't have to sell my car yet and I don't wish too. The car is still nice to drive and the power is always there whenever I need. smile.gif
But then you will never know. You might force sell due to some reasons. sad.gif
Do you think I should invest? I am in dilemma actually but I need better quality in the car as I travel at least 2 hrs or more daily on weekdays. 
My preference setup is I hope no need to install amp (no budget) and will 2 ways component speakers in front enough?  I feel that the rear speakers are not performing. I tested them by using fader. The sound produced by the rear is so bad (like not enough power to boost the speakers but volume is the same when tested on the front) and in front is so much better but I felt is not detail enough. Do I need to change the rear speakers?
My current setup is all factory stocks. My HU does not have an AUX in and me actually using the cassette adapter as AUX in for my iphone. The sound quality is not bad but sometimes can hear some hissing sound. 
All sifus, kindly advise.
- Other requirements (if any):

Alright, this is all I can think of now. Need to back to work. lol

jazz/pop inc kpop hmm.gif
if u can increase your budget a bit better
no need amp
just get a decent hu around 500
then if u are into jazz more then might be focal ps165
if into pop and kpop more how about german maestro cs6508 thumbup.gif

Hi Ezmeer,

I am thinking of the focal ps165 too. Any idea how much is it?
I only listen to pop with my kids or occassionally when I am alone.

Is Alpine CDE-121 ok?
*
the focal ps-165 is around rm900
focals speakers are great for jazz music rclxms.gif
the alpine cde-121 is good
but u may try PIONEER DEH-4450BT as your budget is up to 1.5k smile.gif
more features and more future proof rclxms.gif

Yes, apparently the EA fler said so when I was in the Vios.
Get the GM Concept from ezmeer94, he didn't use it for long. Really worth it for your preference of music.
But bargain kao kao lar, if still cannot, come here look for help. Most of the sifus here will help you to bargain also.

ill be happy to sell smile.gif
but the gm concept already taken sad.gif blush.gif

for the vios then its ok lor no problem laa rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

Cool. smile.gif
Both of the units able to connect iPhone directly using an iPhone cable?

How abt rear speakers? They r really bad. I don't know how to say. U know like speakers sudah pecah but lower volume is ok. Without the rear speakers I will have lesser bass. Sigh
So not prefect when listening to music. Hope u know what I mean. My fader setting is F5/7. I don't wanna hear the pecah sound. Lol

actually rear speakers will mess up your staging
get a sub for better bass thumbup.gif
if dunt want to use trunk space get an underseat sub smile.gif

Surely over budget already. Sigh sigh
If the new front speakers can do the job then I can forget abt my rear. Probably using fader with F5/7 as usual. Lol

front speakers should be enuff smile.gif
anyway i have an underseat sub i can give u special price if u want smile.gif tongue.gif tongue.gif cabutzzz

Actually, the doors (metal parts) come with sound-proofing materials already. I was advised to install the mid with the installation kit which includes among others, an aluminium spacer (I hope I got that right!), and to sound-proof the door panels with a layer with some metal-looking material, finished with something that looks like fibreglass!
*
The oem soundproof is different
Actually u need to do the door soundproofed to get better midbass and yes get the spacer
But don't miss the soundproof

Oh gosh, I'm not there yet. Perhaps a little tipsy! And that was last night.

The metallic looking material is I believe what they use for the firewall; the portion between the engine bay and car interior. The fibreglass look-alike thingy, I've no idea. Anyway, that was a suggestion. Thank you very much for your concern. Perhaps, you could better advise what materials should be used as I noticed that you're supplying sound proofing materials.

On another note, the door panel seems to be sealed with a polystyrene material; you can't see any metal parts. Can this be ripped off to do sound proofing? Will installers be willing to install the sound proofing materials not purchased directly from them?

Thank you so much for your time.

That is the weather shield can take off to apply sound proof
