Hi there, I'm also a newbie on CA. Just visited the thread about CA terminology to get me started.

I have a brand new Axia, but i bought the most basic spec without speakers and HU. I'm trying to find a set of speakers and HU to fill them. My focus is on SQL or just SQ. Budget is below rm1k. Anyone have any recommendation of brands/models?

Without a subwoofer is ok for me though. Just 2 outputs focused on the driver and front passenger is sufficient.

Bud i driving base spec Axia too, wheres your location? I have some suggestion to you.

I'm from Kota Kinabalu. So i guess not everything suggested in this thread can be found here. So i just wanted to have some suggestions from the experienced forumers here and then i'll compare it to what i can find here to decide..

Hi everyone. Just got into ICE recently. I just love music that I've decided to invest some $ on it. My current setup so far is Kenwood KDC - 100U as my HU, Morel Maximo 6.5 component as my front speaker while back speakers remained stock. Planning to upgrade my back speaker to Focal 165 ISC coaxial/Pioneer TS-D1602R/JBL GTO-629 coaxial/ or any other better rated coaxials at that price range. No amps for now. Would need suggestions on what amps to use to drive these back speakers and front components. Doors have been treated with 1 layer of vibration dampening while floors are treated with vibration dampening and basic acoustic foam insulation. Plan to install insulation on doors somewhere in the future. Not planning to install sub at the moment. Perhaps a Underseat sub if I ever change my mind/everything else is done. Not planning to sacrifice space for a sub in the boot. Perodua axia.

Questions.

What amps should I go for these setup? (JBL, Pioneer, Alpine, Polk, Focal?) Budget about 500-1k (I'm open to suggestions for price slightly higher if it's worth the price/performance ratio)
What model should I go for the back coaxials? Is there big differences between Morel Maximo and Tempo series? (I did consider using the same brand for the coaxials as well)

TQ

Music genre. R&B, classical, any other genres in between... Love emphasis on vocal reproduction, non fatiguing highs, tight quality bass (non boomy).

New to this.. Previously I'm quite crazy over all these audio stuffs, owned a pair of customs and stuffs.. New to this car audio.

Any suggestions on how to get started? I'm driving an honda crz, what's a good budget setup to get started? I listen to primarily EDM, Dj mixes.. More inclined towards bass!

IMO the first step would be to do a proper sound deadening before installing the speaker setups. sound deadening the floor and door would be a great start. perhaps components for front and subwoofer with amp? Budget wise in the end is up to you cuz not everyone is willing to spend alot on ICE. Perhaps 2-3k for a start? 1k + for basic sound deadening and another half for basic speaker setup? then u will go on from there... or maybe if u feel that ur speakers are fine for now u can add a subwoofer and an amp and from there only u decide

What is sound deadening? What does it do? Minimum i got to spend 2-3k?

minimise the vibrations caused when u have a better sound systems ie speakers in ur car. as u turn up the volume, the door panel will rattle along with the speaker. so adding foam/sound deadening layer will minimise the vibrations and aso reduce some of the exterior noise. Some people said that sound deadening ur car is almost useless and it doesn't bring much difference. Well highly debatable topic. I think you can get better suggestions reading the forums as I myself are not good at this Not many ppl active here nowadays. Of course you can spend less than that. I feel that there is solution for every budget bracket

anyone know the diff btw kenwood ddx7016bt and ddx3035bt? i read the spec but too noob in this so cant tell the diff...

Hey guys,

I want to replace my head unit Sony GT522U.

Prefer Pioneer or anything good within the range.

Currently using

- MB Quart component speaker
- MB Quart active bass


- My ride: Mercedes W210
- Prefers SQ/SPL/SQL: SQ/SQL
- File format/medium used for my source: USB (mp3 etc), CD
- Music genre: All
- Budget: RM 600
- Other requirements (if any): Superb FM radio reception

Simple set up can be done... just maintain your stock speakers and tweets... change your player to perhaps kenwood or pioneer.. see your budget lahh if it permits go for double din if not single din would do the trick... add one monoblock amp and also woofer.. should be just fine.. if you got extra cash.. change your front speakers into a component set

Kenwood highest specification for single din was around 400 I think in brothers kelana jaya.. but don't install there lah... if pioneer sure gonna cost you a bomb tho

After a while reading on this section, should i just save up and go for Pioneer 80 PRS ?

Is it truly worth it ?

It's not about buying too expensive player but a lot of factors need to be considered as well... speakers.. wiring and etc.. your cost may go higher then...
