I currently have a cheapo Alpine head unit which I bought around RM300 last time.
I was rolling in SPL last time but now I gonna switch to SQ.
I changed a good 4ch amp with boston acoustic speakers.
My woofer is still 12" SPL woofer with monoblock but gonna change it in future.
And I got a cheap mohawk pre amp which I dont want to use it any more.
I want to change my head unit to a better one with USB input and 3 pre-out so that I can take the preamp away.

I need recommendation from sifu here on head unit with 3 pre-out and good sound quality within budget of RM1200.
prefer Pioneer and Alpine. Prefer new unit. thx

Alpine 117. USB not sure.

U want a DEH-80PRS.
Not only u dun need a pre-amp, crossovers oso no nid liao
Comes with 2 usb input oso

Add another RM100, u can get a singapore set in lyn garage

get a clarion 702a within that budget....it's better than watever u can get below 1.5k

we are talking about the set come in the right way.

Did some research on this 2 unit. Found a post in lowyat forum asking about this 2 head unit and someone said clarion have better sound quality. so, any other choices? Alpine? Kenwood?

For tat price clarion is most worth to it. And the sound quality not bad de leh.

Installed the 702A unit. My conclusion.
SQ top notch.
Radio reception extremely poor.
Poor LCD, not visible daytime.

Most of the aftermarket have lousy radio reception. I have yet to experience one that is good in my housing area(Stock HU excluded).

actually if u notice, poor radio reception is only occur in malaysia..other country is also using same model why no complain? why our tv3 are not really able to get anywhere in malaysia? think about it

i am not sure what make the reception so bad, but clarion are 1 of the clearest brand out there

want to ask why original HU radio reception is better than aftermarket 1? takkan local radio station so clever can differentiate ori or aftermarket HU

I dont listen to radio anyway. CD or USB

"...sorry sifu what do u mean by those?


sorry to ask, why sifu must hint n not explain all out?? isit that hard to explain?

sifu, actually my question is simple, why reception is poor?

but ur answered is can u think about it

if u want to reply just reply in layman n please, if u do not want to reply, just leave it...

tq for ur time sifu...."

lolz, thanks for trolling..quazacolt pls report him

That's why now i listen to fm radio at home...

lol you go press la. senang je

Hi guys, I will be installing my HU end of this month. Currently more focus on clarion 702A(RM10xx) and pioneer 80PSR(RM12xx). Which 1 is better? worth it to add another 2xx to get 80PSR?

definitely get the 80prs

another question guys... Should I go for active set up? Can every 4ch amp support active set up? Running Passive setup using 702a or 80psr will be a waste or not? is active setup easy to tune? How much usually pro audio shop charge for tuning active setup? thx

you can make use of the HU even in passive mode
sometimes less is more, simpler better ging

noob here. will adding a simple fm booster help?
facing the same issue with p99 but previous 9887 had no similar issue.

there's no fm booster for car...those thing are called fm converter for jap radio to convert to local frequency.

I am using this amp, chappalang amp.

for sure will upgrade in the future, but may I know can this amp do 2 way active for front speaker and tweeter?

how about kenwood KDC-X8019BT ? i heard it can par with 80prs and is cheaper and better design.

Better take pioneer la. more reputable and reliable.
