Hi to all,

Have been away from ICE since 2008 b'cos working in China. Now I am kind of itchy cos kena poison again....hahaha....

Previous setup is as follows: (still at my old Sentra in Hometown)
HU: Eclipse CD7000
Amp: A/D/S 4 way (forgot the model), Orion HCCA 225 2way
2 way components: Helix H1
Sub: DLS Double voice coil (forgot model but f***ing heavy till my car looks like lowered down)

Anyway, I am not happy with the sound quality...May be is the setup....

Anyway...forget that as it is at Sabah now...and I am at KL...don't think buy a air ticket to go back to tear them down from my old car.

So I am thinking of starting to setup a new equipment....

What do you recommend for HU? Brand? I prefer to have smart phone connectivity so that I could save some cost on navigation.

I usually listen to chinese song (mostly sentimental) and some pop song like Rihana, and sometimes some 80's songs. Old man lah.....

Would you recommend danish made drives like Scanspeak, Dynaudio and Peerless for my type of listen? Any audioshop carry those speakers in Malaysia? Anyone has Morel Supremo? How is it? The previous speaker I have is a Helix H1. How does it compare to Morel, Dynaudio, Scanspeak? My budget is somewhere around RM2500-Rm3000.

I am also looking for AB Class amplifier, either 2 way or 4 way. I am more into SQ...Please recommend some good SQ woofer....BTW, I hate heavy woofer...it put too much weight on my car.

Thanks in advance.

as you might well be aware
scans>dyns>peerless
no experience with helix h1 but pretty sure scans and higher end morel will top it.
dun think rm3k can cover scans unless used.

might wanna pm this guy, he's selling everything he has.

otherwise you can pm carcrazy or mnkh as a starting point.
SQ sub, definitely JL w3 or w6. w3 light and easy (on the pocket).
AB amp, look no further -------> McIntosh looooooohhhhhhh.

My opinion. Good luck.

Carcrazy, mnkh and howie can get new morels. Used? A bit hard to find.
Howie also has german maestro, which a few of the guys here love. Can go audit 1st b4 commiting. They go to howie's place quite often cause their wallets too heavy.
