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.

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

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..

Getting muvi 1.5 soon (this week) and planning to upgrade the audio right away because i'm sure the stock one will be really crappy.

My plan is to just change the front speakers to good 4" coaxial. Maybe focal? And add underseat sub. If budget allows, will change the rear speakers as well.

I'm not a super audiophile or anything. Something like stock ford fiesta audio is good enough.

So I think those above is good enough for me? Bro Howie, I will contact you since your shop is just beside my old office.

if u just need a good daily listen setup, a 4" coaxial and an active sub will be enuff......let me know if u drop by...thanks

A passive can do a lot, yes...but paying the money and time? Think think think..............

Not to say p is no good, but it's a lot time n money wasted to achieve something that you can achieve by just press some button. U can do a very good p, but the effort are quite a waste for me. With new tech, press some button can yield the result...why waste time? Ok maybe the so called "taste" are not good enuff, but are u sure the taste are meant to be there? Or because of some personal preference that may want something more stand out than the others?
Spending more than 1k for a custom is a waste?

A crossover just split the freq range a spk can play....some spk required minor eq tuned at crossover but it should be minimum. Overly done the passive will only make the spk losing its identity...so why do it overly? The easiest solution is by buying the suitable speaker. Then you are almost done. Doing a passive doesn't mean you are higher grade than others.
I had met a lot of these case, which a guy that love spl but he keep saying he wan sq so he think he will get higher rank in audio enthusiasts respective level...which to me, he just dunno wat he wanted...most guy go to audio shop's purpose are just wanted to get some bass so he can blast till the car vibrate like hell....but after few month or if he is deaf enuff, few years. He either quit audio or turn back to use oem...why? Because he never realise how true the sound can be..he just know how loud the sound can go in the past and its boring to listen to loud music everyday..some tell me they reached the nirvana before, but after he tested 4 to 5k setup from me, he dare not to say a word about his pass....

Back to topic, I had talk to some famous international brand's engineer in person and I had ask them about the passive..you know what they said? "Crossover are just used to separating the frequency range for our speaker to play well and sound as it should be, there's no need to build another 1 that make our speaker sound like others. If you want it to sound like others, just buy other speakers." This word are harsh to listen, but its truth. Or maybe the engineers are too confidence with them selves. Whether you accept or not, suit yourself.

Oh I found out a good reason to custom passive, which is when the oem passive crossover setting doesnt fit to the specific model of car...just 1 % maybe...this can be a reason for u to custom passive....But, why dun use active to settle it more easily?

Found out another reason why build passive than active...this may be harsh but its also a truth...the truth is, not everyone can tune a active.....not everyone will know how to tune them...this happen to most audio industry related person..not only customer ...some simply changing the same values cap or coil to another better build and call it a day without really look into whats need to be done...this make a good reason for passive buildings...

At the end, no matter active or passive, I respect both especially the endless energy to build the passive...but I wont think that the time and money spend to build it are a creditable point to me that you are better and more knowledgeable. The ability to make the system sounds as it should be will be the final judge of how good you are.

Where can I find such places selling 200+? I live near BU and went to several accessory shops in Uptown. The cheapest (JVC) is already 300+ and 400+ and more for some other brands like Nakamichi/Pioneer. They usually tell me they don't sell cheap ones due to customers coming back frequently for problems later. There is a cheaper one in Eneos 1Utama (RM250) but doesn't have the USB slot.

I notice from your siggy that you have a shop. Do you have products that suit my needs? My tolerable budget will be about RM300-400 (max within RM 500) including installation + some low cost speakers as replacement or /fix existing speaker connection if possible(out of so many, the only one speaker functioning is the one at the driver's door).

Thanks.

Guys urgently, I got 3 RCA HU, 1 set com , 1 set 6x9 and a 12 inch sub n 4 channel amp.

Can this item all be a setup? Or I need another amp?
*
front comp to 2ch of the amp, sub to another 2ch of the amp...the 6x9 can put it away....not necessary since most probably u cant make it blend with the sub and component well....but if u insist wan to install, it can be power by hu rear output.....no need through amp
