QUOTE(izso @ Jul 4 2012, 06:49 AM) I tell you what dude, since you're really newbie to this, why don't you just say how much you plan on spending and we'll tell you what you can and cannot buy. Personally if you're a basshead, practically almost any speaker set you can find will suite your requirements except perhaps those 'immitation/cheap' brands. rm500-1k lol

QUOTE(simon3041 @ Jul 4 2012, 02:54 PM) yeah, i saw a thread abt sound proofing~ this right? Anyway~ Bro, tat's wat i am talking abt.. i wan quality~ but i am new, i scared kena cheat when i am going to buy the subwoofer + amp later.. and should i change the speaker at the door side thr? and behind?  gotta need more advice from ICE sifus~ Thank you in advance  yeah that thread is a good reference material. for full set ICE, want good bass, you're looking to at least 3-4k++ rear speakers no need touch, focus on front component set + HU + amp (4channel to drive both comp set and woofer) and of course a sub woofer, 12" ported sub.

QUOTE(MyWifeCar @ Jul 4 2012, 04:35 PM) You can try Mohawk thou. Since you like bass only, so I won't go detail into the sound lar. 2K should be ok, I guess. Change from HU (since you only need USB) to speakers to amp tp sub. Detail price, sorry no idea. You will need to survey yourself with the budget in mind. This is not cap ayam. This is cap Mohawk!

QUOTE(izso @ Jul 4 2012, 05:47 PM) Not true la. 2k+ budget can get you a decent setup but you need a helluva lot of patience and scout at the right places. Get everything 2nd hand. That's the cheapest you can go for decent SQ + bass. Don't rush ICE. If you do it'll cost more to keep upgrading upgrading and upgrading. Been there done that. im talking from an everything brand new no fuss no scouting/patience point of view. because honestly, time is also money to me, time wasted to scout, and deal with potential issues acquiring 2nd hand (eg: worn drivers, or problematic boards/amp/HU/caps etc) are time wasted and time = money. hell, if eventually you have to replace them sooner than their supposed lifespan (eg: buying brand new) that also directly mean losing money. preference/perspective. if his budget mentioned that he is willing to go for 2nd hand/used items, obviously i would reply similarly the way you did  =edit= you know what, let me update the first post template. so people on budget can specify as well if they willing to go for used items This post has been edited by Quazacolt: Jul 4 2012, 07:01 PM

QUOTE(izso @ Jul 9 2012, 09:38 PM) No, I personally think HU is last. But to be honest though, the output is only as good as its source, so HU upgrade should provide a difference in sound. But I suggest to do this last cuz the speakers need to be in place and the amps too, then once that's done upgrade the source (HU) and it'll be like "WHOA" difference in terms of SQ good and valid pointers, personally though i would go with HU + component set path. but of course depends on your existing HU and the functions you need/want. for my case, 12 years old proton stock HU = cassette, so.. yeah. no matter how you want it, you're getting a HU replacement first for sure, thus HU + component set then amp + sub path

QUOTE(krayden @ Jul 10 2012, 07:19 PM) My opinion is to do the comps and amp 1st. A lot of ppl are ordy satisfied after that. Not to mention many ppl love their steering controls. As if the HU is mounted under the seat or in the boot, cannot even stretch your hand 1ft away.After those 2 changes, if still not satisfied then they will go a bit more seriously into SQ, starting with the HU. Needless to say, if your HU still plays cassette then have to change la.totally lol'd and agree on this  Added on July 10, 2012, 8:21 pmQUOTE(howiechoo @ Jul 10 2012, 08:06 PM) nice mer? busy like hell bro..lolz..high pressure on new project..my car will be leave first ooooo apa project? can share share?

QUOTE(scoop7 @ Jul 13 2012, 09:16 PM) Sifus, need some recommendations. Recently i bought a chery eastar. Already has dvd player & 2 headrest monitors. My issue is the passengers in row 2 & 3 complaint about can't hear movie sound during drive on highway. I notice the sound level for row 2 is quite soft, there is no speakers for row 3. I need row 2 & row 3 passengers able to listen to song or movie during driving on highway. I think i can allocate 1k-1.5k for this project thank you i think you can easily allocate some coaxials that probably can be driven straight from the HU? else you can opt to get component sets for your front row? then another for row 2, and row 3 for your stock speakers. or if you want to prioritize the rest obviously you can put the new component set towards row 3 and keep stock as is on row 1 i am not sure if the stock HU can drive all 3 sets of speakers, worse come to worse if it couldn't, you may opt to get a 6 channel amp instead, that would cost a lot more however you can do it step by step. if you dont need the amp then 1-1.5k should be more than enough for your project.

QUOTE(ADVAN @ Jul 16 2012, 10:59 PM) Oh okok. Alright. I thaught Lanzar is entry level as stated in http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/832695This post has been edited by zilole9729: Nov 1 2008, 08:28 AM most entry levels from reputable brands these days have gone far better than those "entry levels" from the list could perform  of course, they stayed, and probably their price as well. so if you opt for that (which is typically much cheaper than entry levels from reputable brands), that is your call. again let me stress out: what you pay is what you get

QUOTE(noonies_naruto @ Jul 17 2012, 02:33 PM) hi sifu. soon enough i'll be getting a myvi 1.3 SX. The stock HU got no usb right? so i wanna change to sth that has usb and preferably with bluetooth as well. SQ would be a plus, coz im noob enough to not notice the differences of a better HU. or maybe sifu here can recommend me? i got this question, because stock HU is like... im not sure how to say it.. but like for myvi its like taking a 2-tier space. unlike the HU for a saga for example, just 1-tier. and then, if go kedai, all shops mostly sell, those single tier HUs. basically, myvi punya stock HU is very big. so, lets say if buy sth like this model HU: kenwood KDC-MP5039U, can install on myvi? what happens to the excess space below it? i also want to install package ICE, but that aside, can recommend me good HU with USB/Bluetooth? my bajet below rm500. actually, the less the better. - not sure about myvi stock HU - can always have custom ready-made or custom-fiber-work myvi panels, so this is not a concern - refer to alpine/pioneer models, then cross check pricing with LYN threads. can just refer to their entry level models (typically no bluetooth though, those with BT are mid range and above)

QUOTE(krayden @ Jul 17 2012, 07:16 PM) Thats why i like KFaudio. They have a few comps on a wall for you to try. If you're serious they will actually pull out something from the shelf for you to listen to. But dun la go test everything and buy nothing. I guess your budget is 500, Boston is ok. 700 Morel Maximo, I personally recommend. Howie got Domination, I listened to his handiwork Domination on a Myvi without amp also pretty good. If you came to last weeks tt woulda had the chance to listen to this. haha suddenly mentioned KF audio. and yeah that's what got me into this whoooollleeee "mess" in the first place. wall demo units, listen, suka, swipe card, get into more debts

Boston im not sure. boston acoustics from USA (boston mah lol) AFAIK, however yes, majority of their items made in china, unless you're having their flagship/top of the line, then supposedly handcrafted at USA la lol
