Recommending you Kenwood doesn't mean the shop is waiting to chop you. Shops do tend to push for brand that they are carrying most of time, unless they are carrying numerous different brand at the same time.

Since you keep on insisting that you are not into ICE, I'm guessing you tell the shop the same thing too, selling you Kenwood would be the most appropriate way. Since it has so many functions and cheap on the per price per function ratio.

Ah taikor, I also need to talk to you about wood.

with this new set

i noticed more interference when using the radio

But you didn't change HU, how come got inteference??

i also dunno

i told u

i a stupid in ice... maybe reception of radio ..voice like breaking

.cd player not working so cant check

thats the issue... maybe wan to chop me into getting the comp behind. nope. the tweeter was fitted by making a hole  the door panel.

btw i am not into ice so is component at the back really weird?
first i went to the shop with the intention of checking why 3 out of my 4 speakers (ori) failed. they said its the lifespan and i asked them about the components for the front. there was some cheaper brand he reco, some banana or something....but i was asking for something else/

then he mention this jbl under promo rm300

so i was ok with it... got it installed. then the sound was like from front n back (1 speaker-ori)
should have asked him to remove the back speaker but as i am a stupid icer, i ask him what about the back?
he ask to fix the same set... and i stupidly agreed. haiizz

i kept asking him if ppl installed component behind? he said is common... *&^%...

lucky i did not go with their recommended amp n player.

anything wrong with this setup?

today went back to the shop

they insist my 8 yr old clarion player

they mention the new player has more power n the breaking sound can be avoided... is this true?

some radio channel are ok... some r breaking....

i cant test cd since its not working.

new players have a lot of diff?

saw few models
cde1213 alpine rm499 same shop
pn2450 ub  pioneer rm425
100eub alpine rm440 to rm30 install - diff shop

Added on July 5, 2012, 2:33 pmregarding the interference, the said the old ori speakers were normal ones while the new got more bass which causes interference... dunno true or not

however he said if change player can solve

i gipe up

maybe its not interference ...could be hissing from tweeter

never use tweeter before
but some radio channel super clear... so...

shall i go for the pioneer set or alpine as posted above? or keep standard

Its never necessary. No radio also still can drive.
For rm500 or less better stick with Pioneer. Any pioneer that fits your budget. Alpine is above 500 is ok but they all lack tuning options like EQ.
Shops like Kenwood cause for that price you get all the tuning options and fancy display but you trade off the sound quality.
Its not terrible, just get what is important to you. At least you're not looking at china HUs.

bro, does it mean for below Rm500 budget pioneer HU have the best in terms of SQ?
