I'm planning to do a small upgrade on my Kelisa sound system and I'm looking for recommendations from all the sifu's here. Here's what I have now:

Head unit: Pioneer DEH-3750MP
Front speaker: Rottweiler component set (don't know the RMS but peak power is 200W)
Rear: None
Subs: Some cheap sub X2 in wooden enclosure (it was free).

I'm looking to get better sound quality but sadly, I'm on a budget. I considering either getting better components or perhaps adding an amp. What do you all think? My budget is RM 500.

ape lagi..

go for MB QUART DSD 216 onli.. he! he! clear crisp sound.. rm300+
low power handling..
no need amp also can drive..

How are those subwoofers powered? If there's no amp for them, i guess you could always get a 4-channel to power the whole setup first and next stop changing to better front components.

i agree with this..... mebbe get the amp and tune to ur liking...

thn when u have extra budget later on mebbe can change the front comps

Get a good powerfull amp 1st...see ur ICE system satisfy or not loh...
If not slow slow change other stuff loh....

Gracias guys for your advice. Looks like getting an amp is the way to go. Can anyone suggest what amp is good for me price range (RM500)? Also where's a good place to get it installed and tuned?

Am not too sure what good new amps you can get for RM500, it's not a really "healthy" budget. If you can, try looking for used units from ICE enthusiasts, most of the time, they keep their equipment in good condition and usually sell off to get better upgrades. If you raised your budget to RM800, there's a pretty good unit of Steg 75.4x for sale now.

Good luck ICEing.

Steg Q series ka????

Alternatively, I have a unit of Rogers RSA-428 for sale.. Hahaha...

Hm... Of coz Q series lo... Takkan want Master Stroker meh

Classe A good mah
hahaha

Where's the best place to mount the amp in a Kelisa? Also, will there be a loss of power from the engine as a result of installing an amp?

see how big ur amp loh...
Lastime my agako amp install under seat...
but now my new amp too long so hang on back seat (add a board)...

Loss of power ar..? I dun feel it...le..

Add a board behind the rear seat, or do panelling! No loss of power

Excellent to hear that I won't be losing any power. Also curious how an amp is installed. Where is the power drawn from? A friend told me that its directly fromt the battery but if this is the case, will the amp always be 'on'?

there will be a remote cable from the HU
so it's only "u on the HU..then oni ur amp is on"
otherwise its off

yeah.. put the amps.. caps.. everything @ the back..
u'll feel heavenly without worrying back seats passengers will step on ur amps o caps..

i wish i could..
