I'm getting an Inspira soon. Have anyone of you heard the stock speakers? It's quite decent already. Thinking of adding two 8inch subs plus a box in the boot and an amp. I don't blast my speakers, just above average volume.

Wanna change the HU to a double din touch screen too. Budget limited to Rm2.8k for now. Any advice?

just, no.

So? Go for 10" instead? Won't it be overpowered due to the fact that I'm not changing the original speakers?

a good reputable brand sub cost between 300-400+ at least for an entry level not including enclosure box/installation/wiring
a good reputable brand amp cost starting around 1k +/-

Can you give a suggestion of a sub and an amp pairing? Is it okay if I pair with stock speaker first, the only upgrade in the future?

I see, so it's better to go for a good 4channel amp now? Would Rm2.2k be enough for a good 4channel amp and a 12" woofer?

just under 4k. proper ICE is waaaaaay more expensive than a full headphone setup.

case in point, i only spent 1.5k+ for a mid range audio technica headphone + amp (you could probably argue i didn't buy a DAC, but seriously, a standard sound card + ASIO software DAC is muuuuuch better than anything under a centrance level DAC and that cost 1k+)

while i spent yeah, 4k for an entry level ICE setup.
to scale it up, refer home theater/home hi-fi, much more expensive than ICE smile.gif

Wowww, RM4k for just an ENTRY level? shocking.gif

But it does sound good already right? What did you buy in that 4k btw?

If I just want a slight bass boost, should I go for underseat subwoofer? I'm getting my Inspira soon, and I have Rm2k budget for the ICE. Still thinking what to do hmm.gif

man, you've been asking literally the same question multiple of times, and i believe you are indeed getting the same answer. if you think you know your stuff, by all means just do as you like. it is your money after all.

My cousin just got a German Maestro set for about rm1.3k. Not sure which model. He'll tell me tomorrow. Can you guys recommend an amp? Not too expensive. Just good enough to pair with that.

decent car amps cost between rm1k to 2k for an entry level 4channel(again, reputable brands, not chicken brands) assuming you would want it to drive your subwoofer too

Recommend a decent 4 channel amp under Rm2k?

im using boston acoustic GT40 4channel, bought it for around rm1.5k back then IINM

they are no longer in production and are replaced by newer models:
http://www.bostonacoustics.com/Amplifiers-C252.aspx (take a pick lol)

then there are also other brands like helix, JL audio, german maestro, rockford (they do pack a punch in the SPL world heh!), dominations and so on so forth (can visit the brand thread too for more info/idea or even recommendations: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/832695 )
