Hi guys, after quit from ICE for some times, FINALLY I can't hold my self back any more longer and I got my self two set of new amp for "dusted" previous setup.

After some survey in quite a number of accessories shop in Cheras/Ampang area, I found a car audio shop in Pandan Indah, Ampang. Their service does surprised me, very boss and staffs approached me automatically once i step into their shop and of course, they started to poison me tongue.gif .

After a long poison session, I can't stand it anymore and I confirmed to get 2 amps from them.

So, Below is my humble entry level SQ setup. Please feel free to leave any comment or suggestion that I can made to improve my setup further with minimum cost. (Wallet already bleeding badly) cry.gif


Setup
1) MB Quart discus 500.1 Monoblock
2) Focal FPP 4100 4chn AMPLIFIER
3) DLS Ultimate UR6i Component
4) FLI 12" subwoofer
5) Phoenix Gold Platinum series RCA cables
6) 0 gauge Phoenix Gold battery cables
7) America sound digital fuse box
8) Kia Forte OEM player

Woaw~~ 0 gauge cable o.O sibeh thick lo. TS if next time got tt pls join yea, never heard for DLS before. My little suggest is, if u wan have improvement pls change ur HU biggrin.gif

Haha Gary, changing a HU gonna bleed my wallet deeply again. Last time was using Alpine 117E, and now sold to LYN member, Thundergod_cid coz single din will definitely looks ugly in my car. And double din is so exp. cry.gif
The 0 gauge is quite thick and bought back in few years ago. Was taken out from my old car. wink.gif

Get an aftermarket 1(pioneer, alpine) definitely will sound better than stock 1. smile.gif

Haha, true, using OEM HU is quite a waste to the setup. Any TT session to join? icon_rolleyes.gif
Hope to listen to others member's ICE setup. So far only got few chance to listen in other member's car. sweat.gif

If you're sticking to the OEM player you may want to consider getting the Audison Bit Ten  nod.gif

What car have you get these stuffs hooked up to?
*
That's a good thing! but how about the price? blink.gif

...which is why I asked what kinda car you have these stuffs installed at cause if its the ones with a fully integerated OEM system then it would be feasible to get the BIT TEN...otherwise the money can be spent on a nice H/U....

Kia Forte, I saw it from the web and I found it has the OEM input and output as RCA. So it also work as HI-LOW converter? tongue.gif

Yeah, good idea. But now I think still had to stick back to my current setup. Or mostly only can get a better Hi-Low converter. cry.gif
Btw, howie I need to "open a hole" at my rear to let the woofer's sound come out from the trunk. do u do this service? tongue.gif

ur installer cant do that?

They can, after I got the ICE installed, I found that my door panels and some panel clips got broken and scratches, kinda sad with the workmanship. Although they said can respray the scratches on the door panel for me, but the color will not be 100% with the original color. When I think that it will bcome 2 tone, I hold it back. sad.gif
