QUOTE(KenDiriwan @ Mar 21 2013, 09:58 AM) How to differentiate them as entry / pro range ? alpine sounds  to me, kind of bias to that brand  Actually already eye'ing on ALPINE CDE-121E any words on this one ? i'm using alpine too, however its the old eub100 a simple way to identify entry/pro: entry = you can get with your budget, while pro you cant buy it, lol. they can cost up to 2-3k, even 4-5k or more(the old alpine f#1 lol)

Guys. Getting my ride cx7 mazda recond soon. So first thing i want to do is setup the ice. Details as below. Can u recommend a reputable shop to help me out?
- [b]My ride: mazda cx7 2009 - [b]Prefers SQ/SPL/SQL: SQ. car for long distance drive so must be syiok to listen to music - [b]File format/medium used for my source: mp3, CD, dvd, gps, and ipod - [B]Music genre: All sorts primarily Rap but not so bass heavy - [B]Budget: 4k - [b]Setup type preferences: Current Head unit is the touchscreen and would like to replace the same with touchscreen unit and to control back the left n reverse camera. Able to do bluetooth for phone as well. - [b]Other requirements (if any): to increase speakers in the car as if not mistaken theres only 4 speakers in the car versus bermaz cx7 equipped with 9 bose speakers. Need to put tweeters front and rear seats however not looking for the boom box as looking at reserving boot space.
Hope you can advice me which shop can do mazda as i dgr the electronics is very manja hence may coz malfunction to other functions if not careful.
Pls pm me if need be. Thanks

QUOTE(Gfreak @ Mar 24 2013, 12:36 AM) consider keeping the HU if it is able to meet your requirements in HU, then use the money for an audio processor, amp, and component set speakers. highly recommended to still get a passive subwoofer, and there are many ways to install a subwoofer that can still allow you to retain boot space for shops, consider looking for howiechoo at EA autoworks, carcrazy at hifi creations, non LYN shops would be kf audio or cv audio

Thanks for the reply. For the hu, im looking to change since its in jap language n furthermore the gps is not working n radio must have booster for local stations. Unless i forgo the gps n use external (a bit mafan) but still have to settle with the jap language n put n third party booster. Or theres a way other then tis?

Hey Guys, I plan to upgrade my 2nd hand 2008 Myvi with Stock speaker&HU with limited budget around RM300+
Any recommendation? 6x9 or anything... just throw in some suggestion to me. Btw I didn't plan to add subwoofer... Just want the SQ, Bass, Treble to be better than original...
Additional Info, usually the car only occupy 2 ppl in front...

Wondering which should I start first? HU or speaker? or both? even my current Nissan Sunny Chaplang 6x9 speaker setup with tweeter @RM170 paired with a JVC player @RM190 is much better than myvi current sound system... Btw cut 6.5 u mean is cut the front one? I'm noob in Ice setup esspecially with myvi... My old Nissan Sunny just change the back 6x9 and add tweeter...
