maybe cola doesn't haf a shop..? i mean he/she doesn't need 2 haf high cost.. o so o so.. on...

yeah..sometimes you can get from the forummer here....cos they dont have hidden cost like shop/electricity/etc etc....
the things they offer are the same...warranty the same....

but make sure you confirm the warranty first.....
or you can get from another forummer....howie or something...
have seen his nick around the forum/zth.... he should be reliable...

JVC G405 is a decent entry level model.
however, if you can afford, go for the 3850 by all means.
i used to have a old model (3350 - 5 generations older) and i still feel the 3350 is better than the 405, sound wise and also functionality wise.
i'm not sure whether they strip off any function between the 3350 and 3850, but it shouldn't be worse off overall

hi there, just went to brothers KJ during lunch time. i saw a panasonic cd/mp3 player selling for RM399.

here's the link for info bout it.. just click it

http://panasonic.com.my/products/car_audio/cd_receivers/CQ_C1303.htm

the one thing that i like bout this player is that it has a front AUX. so can put ur ipod or mp3 player. comparing it to the jvc.. how the performance or sound quality. since both are similarly priced @ 399.

also this the first time i saw a panasonic HU under RM1000... does have the quality as the its big brother.. the ones sellign for RM1000++.. fyi its made in thailand btw

edit.. panasonic become pioneer.. aiyo typo

But the quality of Pioneer old model and new model difference a lot..
Old model more btter even same level.
3350 sound more better if compare with 3850

did u really test it? how u test?
mind to share?

Haha .... I agree with howiechoo , get a pioneer. Much more durable ...

Got friend use before 3350 for few years .... sound quite good.
but after this HU broken down..change same level 3750 ...
Sound become "Kasar" liao ...

Don't know 3350 is made in Japan or not?
but sure 3750 not made in Japan la...

maybe tuning punye problem lerhh.. he! he!..

are u mean that only hu made in japan are good?

btw, sound soft / kasar may also depend on source and the detail of the sound produce from the hu...

like u play a pasar malam disc in a RM150 chapalang cd player and u play it in any branded hu....u will found out the sound from the cheap hu are flat and softer....this is because the resolution of the lousy hu is lower....oppositely, the branded hu can give u a more detailed sound...so it may sound harsh in some certain freq...but it reflected that it is higher resolution than the lousy hu. got wat i mean? u will only know when u compare 2 hu with same source and same setting(but i dun think can)

erm..sorry my english not good....lolz

Yup..I compare it in same source same setting...but difference HU loh...
because my friend play flat setting only.

i kinda miss the 3350, got it for a bargain during clearance of old model
lotsa setting to play with, such as parametric eq (compared to the bass, mid, treble only setting most entry level players comes with) and sound field control

how much does accessory shops usually charge for HU installation?

i charge 15-25 only..haha

you charge that just for workmanship, howie?

if not, wat else u wan me to give u to install a hu? erm...extra power cable? haha

ppl dono marhh..

ya la..sorry bro...

no hard feelings taken, howie.

at least now i agak agak know the price if i ever get ripped off.

I would suggest you to get a Pioneer HU as well. Alpine also not bad.
