sifu sifu sekalina,

i've always wanted to have a decent sound system for my ride, but have been holding back due to other financial commitments. I'll be getting a new ride soon and thought that this would be a good time to upgrade since the original one is pretty shitty. I dont intend to change ori palia made in china HU yet since it has built in GPS. i intend to save up for that and change it next year. Appreciate all advise and recommendations

- Budget: 2k
- Ride: Hyundai Elantra 1.8
- Prefer SQ/SPL/SQL: i'm inclined more towards SQ (does this mean that it will not have enough oomph if i were to play bassy songs? Not that i want the other outside to hear what i'm playing)
- File format/medium used in your source: Current HU supports CD/DVD/USB/iPhone or iPOD direct connector/AUX
- Genre of music you listen to: a mixture - Adult contemporary, R&B, Hip Hop, Jazz, Alternative, Nu Metal, the occasional K-pop (the better ones ) - not really a techno fan.
- Setup type preferences: 2 way passive i guess
- Other requirements : not changing ori palia HU.

all advise is most appreciated.

wahhh poison!!!.. i only got 2k budget wor.. i saw this unit being sold in Automotive Garage for 1.8k-2k, without installation. if not mistaken it does not come with GPS right? ish ish.. decisions.. btw, you're probably talking to one of the few dinosaurs who are still on symbian..

so i take it you're suggesting a HU change first before components/amps/sub right? let me redo my budgeting. I'll let you poison me more when i come over to get my UR bars installed.

bro, UR bars already bought when EA ran their promotion a couple of months back

ini very poisonous..

ehehe... i do plan to throw out all those stock stuff.. but in due time la.. limited budget at the moment.. so bro, with only 2k budget, any advise on what i should change first?

wah bro.. you also in EMC?? cantik la.. can arrange Group buy aAHAHAHAH.. speakers it is, but i dont think the crappy HU can support ler.. definitely need amps right?

boss.. really sorry for newbie question again. What price range does a 'good' component set comes under? Would like to know to see if i can better manage my budget or not. Thanks

Many thanks to bro howiechoo and bro ezmeer for opening up a new dimension of sound to me last Saturday.

Love the new setup, even though i'm still using the lousy stock HU. the speakers and the amps really DID make a difference. of course coupled with Howie's tuning!!

ezmeer, thank for upgrading and selling me ur C-line for a good price
