Hi sifus/guys,
I'm looking to venture into ICE soon but wish to learn as much before proceeding.
I currently have a stock Honda ('95 Civic) sound system but am using Pioneer HU DEHP-5550 (forgot the model).
Please help answer some of my questions below:-

1. Do I buy the components/woofer first or amplifier first?
2. What's the significant difference between buying a 2-channel and 4-channel amp?
3. I'm only thinking of one piece of 12" woofer. What are the specs I need to see?
4. If the tweeters are 80W and mid bass speakers are 160W, does that mean I need a 480W amp to play it (80W + 160W x 2 sides)?
5. Are Pioneer's component set good? How about Mohawk??

I'm not looking for a system that can blast off my car but I listen to alternatives, jazz, classical, hip-hop, pop and a little trance/techno. Hence, can I say I shud prioritize my system to be "mid-bass" style??
Please help.
Thanks a lot!!!

thx drift,
I'm thinking of setting RM1.5K for 3 items first:-

1. Component sets (RM500)
2. Amplifier (RM500)
3. Woofer (RM500)

Maybe you can advise me on what are the nice brands that I can check out?
I've read in some of the threads taht if I got myself a woofer, I don't need a 6x9" speakers? If that's the case, then it's better for me to leave my stock rear speakers alone?? Thx!!

thx, in Kuching, I don't see anyone carrying mbquart.
Guess I have to buy from West M'sia then...
Thx drift, looking forward to ur reply.

@crazie,
Hmm...Miri ar?? Might be going there soon....Hehehhe
I think I saw someone selling components at the Garage Sale.
Will check it out...
Maybe after I've got the front components, then I'll start to look for an amp.
What is the average price for a decent 4 channel amp?? RM700-RM1k??

Well, unfortunately, the SS components are in 6.5'.
I would prefer to get the 6' as I don't need to do much to fit 6.5' instead.
Can anyone please recommend a decent 2/4 channel amp for me please??
Thanks!!!
