Hi, need some advise on some basic ICE mod

- Your ride: Vios 08
- Prefer SQ/SPL/SQL: high clarity with tight bass (not into those techno/hip-hop kind of bass)
- File format/medium used in your source: mp3 and CDs
- Genre of music you listen to: metal, modern rock, pop
- Setup type preferences: any set-up that doesn't need a woofer, or to add an additional pair of tweeters (my car is the standard 4-speaker set-up)
- Other requirements (if any): prefer not to add woofer in the boot, don't mind changing stock speaker to other brands/type or to add in an amp

my budget is roughly around RM2.5k max, my current HU is kenwood KDC-U449.

you can try adding on a component set and a nice 4 channel amp (in case you change your mind on a subwoofer wink.gif )
2.5k should be more than enough.

alternatively you could also try changing HU + comp set, save up more then go for an amp to drive the component set (and using its left over available channels for your stock 2x speakers)

at least an amp would be required to drive most component sets' bass reproduction, HU alone just does not have enough power, much less a *somewhat* lesser kenwood (not your typical alpine/pioneer and even them couldn't possibly provide enough juice for most 6.5 midbass tongue.gif )

does it mean getting a pair of tweeters and an amp, hooking it up to my current stock speakers will improve the sound?

btw, how do i choose my speakers then? since i won't be putting in a woofer, is there any specific type of speakers that can reproduce the tight bass that i'm looking for? (like those metal bass drum, solid and tight sounding?)
