Hi All Sifus,

First time into ICE, need some advice whether my budget sufficient for the intended setup, if not, what are the alternative replacements to lower the cost and yet retain the sound quality.

Budget: RM10K-12K (Audio equipment plus installation), RM3K-4K (Soundproofing entire car)

My ride: Perodua Aruz AV
Preference: SQ (reference - love the kind of sound from my british home speaker EPOS ES14 - very sweet and clear mid tone - clean and crisp high)
File format: Flac, mp3, usb etc
Music Genre: Jazz, Pop, New Age
Intended Setup: 3-way active front and 2-way passive rear

HU: Retain Original Stock
DSP+AMP: Audison Prima Series AP8.9 Bit 8 Channel Amplifier with built-in DSP
SPEAKERS: Morel Virtus 603 (3-way active front) + Virtus 602 (2-way passive rear)

Kind of firmed on the Morel speakers but not sure on the DSP and amps. Need some advice from the experts here whether able to lower the cost by 2-3K so that my wife wont make noise.



Many thanks in advance!!!

Thanks, as I prefer the Morel speakers, I would rather find the amp that matches the speakers. Which DSP amp do you think will match the Morel? How about Helix V8?

Thanks for the advice!!!

Sifu Oldskolboyz,

How will the following combi compare in terms of price and performance?

1. Helix V8 DSP Amp + Morel Virtus 603 + Morel Maximo 2-way

2. Hertz H8 DSP + Morel MPS 4.400 x 2 + Morel Virtus 603 + Morel Maximo 2-way

3. Zapco DSP-Z8 + Morel MPS 4.400 x 2 + Morel Virtus 603 + Morel Maximo 2-way

I was thinking whether it will be better to use back Morel amp to drive their speakers. Getting my car soon, wanted to pin down the combi so that I can get the accessories shop to quote.

Ok, thanks!! Will take note.
