QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Oct 21 2012, 06:17 AM) if you top up just 100 or so, you can actually change a whole component set Component set? I actually have a quite decent setup my dad inherited to me already - not too sure what is what but I've got. Focus is on the back - for the front I have two tweeters and two mid-range ones, what you call them I'm not too sure.do you already have a component set and only have the tweeters spoiled? ![]() Just that recently one of the tweeters died out & I was thinking of swapping it out for a new pair. Since you said I could get a component set from around 100, do recommend me a good pair of tweeters - I don't mind spending around 150-300 for a decent pair! |

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Oct 22 2012, 12:13 AM) what do you mean by "focus is on the back"? you mean the tweeter spoiled is on the back or front? The pic above shows my rear setup - not too shabby I guess? It's only the front tweeters that I want to switch out. How much would that cost around?and no, component set for around 600-700 TOP UP rm100 from your existing rm500 budget however if tweeters is your only focus, i believe you can get it for cheaper price. perhaps you can look up howie and see what kinda solutions he can offer. Thanks for the tip btw. |

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Oct 22 2012, 02:43 AM) most SQ setup would ignore the rear SQ = sound quality? This used to be a driver's car for us to sit behind and relax one hahah. like i said, if you're willing to top up a bit you can get an entire component set, or go on a budget and just replace the tweeters tweeters alone probably less than 100-300 i believe Any recommended brands/brands to stay away from? I read the brands topic in the forum but just wondering if there is any that I should know about. |

QUOTE(izso @ Oct 30 2012, 09:45 AM) B&O? Any comment about the pricing and service at CV Audio? Considering sending my Benz to either CV or KF in December once I'm done with my exams since both are quite close by, 10-15 minute drive for me.Forget about upgrading your car la. With that sort of restriction on your car and budget limitation there's no way you can do better than the B&O. Eh... wait, whats your budget again? Cutting the door panel, need to revert what for change door? Even stock speakers will benefit from the mods mah. Anyway, the BMW direct replacement I saw was from AudioSystem, not BSW. It's not as expensive in comparison but no way comparable with that B&O. I've seem plenty of stock looking BMWs both new and old with awesome sound systems in CV Audio. They specialise in high end cars anyway, my Wira was one of the rare cheapass cars they deal with. Kinda awkward parking my car to a R35 or a Alphard. |

QUOTE(izso @ Oct 30 2012, 09:14 PM) CV has excellent aftersales service. I'd deal with Peter from CV Audio anyday over the rude folks in KF. But that was me, perhaps they've improved since back then. Just to make sure - CV is the one in Uptown facing the houses, right? Same row as Brother Peter?CV are pros with high end cars so I'd be comfortable sending an expensive Merc or BMW to them anyday. I've also seen a 5-series stripped down in EA Autoworks too so I'm guessing they know what they're doing too. |
