Let's say if i put up only amp and speakers,will that be enough if I'm I'm looking for balanced sounding sound?What amp will you guys suggest with the budget of up to RM1.2k?I don;t really need a high powered one.Eclipse?Focal?Alpine?Rockfort?And will a mono amp be adequate?
ha! ha!.. ok.. let me tell u the story of my ICE starting point wif myvi..
long long time ago, (which is a year ago)
my 1st step was installing the FOCAL component speakers.. it was powered by the HU.. please bear in mind that the front myvi door doesn't come wif any speaker space.. so i custom made the door panel juz to fit in the speakers and it cost me rm400 (juz the fiber work door panel itself)
then my 2nd step was installing the a/d/s and JL woofer.. the sound was brighten up and i was so so so happy..
3rd was the ECLIPSE HU and HU panel.. and the sound was "fui yoh"!!! it was like live performance inside my car..

(juz j/k but it do jazz up the music a lot)
recently i added a monoblock 2 whack the woofer.. b4 i added in the monoblock, there was this 2 channel amp which was quite powerful but the poor thing is that it was overheated and it failed me juz bcz it ain't 2 ohm stable amp.. now wif this new alpine monoblock.. it is doin great!
2 things now i'm lack wif is running the whole system in active and a time allignment HU...
to simplify it..
1st FOCAL access powered by stock HU
2nd a/d/s amp and JL woofer
3rd HU
4th monoblock for JL
5th coming soon...
