more input on active vs passive
passive sounds more analog?

wats ur definition or analog

Analog like organic food?!

not much ppl can define analogue, due to no analogue car to audit...or cant differentiate between the analogue car and digital car when audit

I'm just curious about why it matters?

My car has the best analogue sounding characteristic. No dispute~

im sticking with digital.

the irony of it all "Compact Digital"

Sound came out from Music instrument means anolog...

guys i need some help. I have an option to fix a Alpine 117E or a ixa-W404e. which one would be a better choice? is any 1 using any of this?

I'm curious to know the difference
Because I'm thinking of moving to active
But dunno if it's better or not

what about synthesizers? electric guitars? those are instruments too

direct listen to instrument without going thru amplifier or watever is analog. synthesizer and e.guitar are playing thru amplifier and converter to generate the sound..so it's digital...
most analog system i heard is not really analog....a drum that make the whole car shake like you are inside the band are not called analog....no sound engineer make the cd sounds like you are inside the band, they only make the band right in front of you. This is stereo. not applicable to surround system.

very loud and details in low, mid and high = nice sound, NOT nice music.

nice music are smooth, full of emotional and relaxing. Eventhough you play david guetta, it's very pleasant to hear all the notes and details from the play...Not clubbing feel.

now this i cannot agree entirely.

why? take a few (8 to be precise) minutes to watch, and think about it

this example is just like, i like proton, everything about proton i can tell u...for the so called "common" and for the so called"rare", it's like i like proton, perodua, but sometimes i do drive my dad.s bmw to school.....get wat i mean?

a music fan is not a genre fans or certain band fanboys..

if you are the so called "common"in the video, then you will be having a haqrd time to reach ur nirvina, because u believe a good system will need seperated tuning for each genre, which is not true...a good system will play very well in any genre, just it's not to your personal liking....Sound engineer make the cd to sound general enuff for every system no matter oem car player or 30k system....The sound is there, just whether your system able to reproduce it or not, it's another story..

I'm willing to offer you analog sounding experience.

But if you turn my volume up to 50 again, I am going for M-Line 3 way.

Mwc, wat different with ur speaker and mline if open to 50?

1. I dunno. I only listen to your car once, then you decided to terbalik-kan kete ko. Then you changed car, then you UPGRADED.

2. Ask ezmeer94, he is the one that turn my volume knob up to 50.

If you free these few days, let me know. We meet up, free meal on you.

Also, if malapetake melanda, I'm going for M-Line 3-way.
