Hello world, looking for best entry lvl sound quality ICE.

The ride: Proton Savvy MT '07
Prefers SQ/SPL/SQL: SQ
File format/medium used for my source: Radios/Pendrive/USB cable to HP
Music genre: All of them
Budget: Less than RM5000-- (including upah installations, sub box and door sound deadening, door mod, up big3, etc)

After some googling I've planning these setup:
Headunit: Pioneer DEH-80PRS
Front Speaker: Focal Expert-PS165V 6.5" (need to mod door panel for these)
Rear Speaker: Keeping the factory speaker (prefer to have some sound source for the rear penumpang, maybe upgrade later or none)
Subwoofer: Focal Sub-P30 12" (not sure bout the box, sealed? ported?)
Amplifier: Alpine MRX-V70 5 Channels

Need some suggestion from others ICErs & sifus. TQ and happy CNY!

I read many great reviews about the 80prs. Thats why I choose the pioneer.

And I planned to paired that much of focal with alpine because of this link (http://xciteaudio.com/CNY-Focal_PS165V-Focal_SUB_P30-Alpine_MRX-V70). Is there any problems with focal and alpine brand? My knowlege bout ICE is little to none. I'am assure sifu could recommend better equipment matchup! I appreciate any comment or suggestion. Tq.

Thanks for the tips. I planned to not rush the whole built.

After much more googling, I think I would divide my built to 3 phases (2-4 months per phase).

1st phase is getting a deh80prs, an mono amp ab class (not sure wt amp yet), a 12" subby (jlw3v3 probably) in sealed enclosure. The prs will be set to standard mode front=stock speakers, rear=stocks and sub=12" sub. I will play with these setting for a while before going to next phase.

2nd phase is getting front pair of 6.5" comp speakers with tweeters, a 4 channel amp (2 for tweets + 2 for comps), front doors sound deadening, and door mods. The prs will be set to 3 way active mode. High/tweets mid/comps low/sub. No rear speak and no passive crossovers.

3rd or final* phase is getting pair of 3"/3.5" speakers, and pillar mod (for tweets and 3"s). The 3" will be used for high mid, previous 6.5" comps for low mid. The tweets will be powered by prs and 3"s and 6.5"s from the 4 chan amp.

*after 1 year the final built more or less will be like this

Now I just need mr howie expertize to set things up... and the cash of course. Xd

P99RS. Now that bargain but too serious for me la I guess. Besides I just received a 80prs today, ordered from my JB friend last week, ap unit. So that is the end of that.

Now need to concentrate on the mono and the sub and the box.

Hello world,

I really wanted to jump wagon straight to 3 way active setup but my 80prs only allows fo 2 way plus sub. The question is does using pair of 3.5" s coaxial + 6.5"s midbass will give the same effect as dedicated 3 way comp? The 3.5" wil act as mid and tweeter. Also since the twitter is at the center of the 3" it should not effect the staging no? Hence I could TA the 3.5" much easier. This?
