no more eclipse, kenwood bought them over, if i heard correctly...

really thanks for the info bro.
any specific model to recommend that is value for money...im looking for iphone connectivity & usb mp3 function...

no, just go with whichever got iphone/usb then whatever suits your budget. PLease be informed that a used Pioneer p8rsii rm1k will blow these sub rm500 HUs out of the water, so something ese to think about if you can stretch your budget.

which brand should i go for if at similiar price/functions? let's say Rm500 with a usb/iphone function

the sound quality from iphone or MP3 good meh?

can look up on alpine/pioneer models. *may* need to top up a bit for iphone if im not mistaken

Step 1: make sure got ipon/usb support. check whether HU got ipon control or you have to manually molest ipon while driving. make sure got free ipon cable. select appropriately.
Step 2: choose any model that you feel you want to spend at the time. EQ useful (more band better), Crossover not useful, Time Allignment (if no amp) not useful.
Step 3: make sure price is with installation or else check automotive garage for cheaper price. HU installation cost is rm20
in 1980, now is rm80?
Step 4: make sure you feel it looks pretty
Step 5: nego with taukeh some more and make him promise to tune to champion car level.
Step 6: get your friend to call you, then say loud loud "walau rmxxx only ah? where ah this shop? pioneer xxx model woh? got installation or not? okok i go now" then slowly walk out.
Step 7: agree on final price
Step 8: DO NOT buy anything else without consulting the sifus here. otherwise you cry later also no use.
Step 9: DO NOT go home. Stay there and watch everthing they do. When they finish, test ipon, usb, CD, radio, off-on-off, set clock, make sure display no dead pixel, take home everything including box and foam.
Step 10: post a new thread on what to buy next.

Hahahhaa. nice bro...very funny..

I am also the kinda purist you speak off.
I will give you equal SQ on FLAC or any other lossless. Actually wont know till someone decides to bring in a FLAC player. Until then I will accord lossless media equal status.
Mp3....... Got diff, whether you encode like you're a sound enggr or a garage enthusiast, got diff.
Not so much on every system, most ppl may not hear it. But I heard it on my old system. So it makes a diff to me. Your choice of media is exactly that, your choice. You can listen to 64kbps for all I care.

Thats why I never particapated in your ongoing verbal battle with Mr. Night-and-day.

itu tau la, but as i said, if you dont kacau people or me, i could really care less

yeah, really cant tell for sure until someone actually have a FLAC HU, or balls enough to do DBT/ABX testings

to me it was really that simple, whatever choice people have, it's their choice, what for i want to care about it as music is such a personal and subjective matter aye? it just hit my buttons when people are going "OMG MUST CD" regardless if the person they are harping at voiced out their own choice or now

*keeps quiet*

lol

may I add that I do listen to MP3s too at times since it at least offers better quality than Radio. I'm not forcing ppl to buy CDs, merely stating that CDs are better than MP3s and if you can afford, should try out some CDs if you haven't.

that's not keeping quiet

Thats why i say may I add

My xtrail also same as TS, 4 speaker only 1 work other 3 no sounds.
Can recommend me front component speaker and HU?
HU I'm looking for Pioneer 5450 Mixtrax unit..

i miss my original speakers

it works well with radio

the current component set, only certain radio channels r clear... i am not sure why....
some channels like got hissing breaking sound.

cd and usb no problem

Ya,original speakers are good.
But now I still dunno want to change what brand component..

usually this problem is because ur new component set are able to produce higher frequency range than your oem speaker which muffled every details from the weak radio signal. suggest u check your antenna and radio reception....i believe you will find that your new speaker sound more cleaner/detail or even sharper than your oem speakers.
