i never know jvc come out with good automotive hu....

hmmm...

for ur budget.. surely it's good larhh.. but then as ppl said goinna.. PIONEER is reputated..

JVC, Kenwood, Poineer, Sony, Panasonic not my cup of tea!

howiechoo, really? the BROTHERS sales guy told me Kenwood's the best, then JVC is 2nd place.

wahseh, then what would be your cuppa tea, loon1031?

Sales man word can't listen la...because Brothers keep a lot of stock mah..Salesman job is clear old stock mah...
But many HU modify by Brothers themself le...becarefull

there's no best hu la..it all depend on these criteria:

1. budget
2. source (cd whether pasar malam/ori/cd-r /cd-rw/mp3/dvd/vcd) & Type of music u listen to/ self preference (sound produce by each brand are different)
3. funtionalities
4. display
5 ........

no point to buy expensive hu if u only play mp3 and cdr/pasar malam cd..GARBAGE IN GARBAGE OUT..and i wonder who ever really play ori cd all the time since they spend >2k for a hu....at least i m not...

btw, i think loon1031 will only interest with alpine, eclipse ,mcintosh, denon and other as called as SQ hu gua..lolz

Haha... Yup u right...!
Last time budget limited mah... so I buy mid range HU...but now being poisoned
Now I only listen original CD..willing to change HU soon.

ok, i'll see what conclusion my account balance can give me at the end of the month. hahaha

JVC vs PIONEER!

my usggestion is pioneer....in term of durability.....

thanks for the assurance

dont trust the ppl in brothers!!!!!!!!!!
seriously i had a bad experience with them......

not only u..
i blif there r lots of 'em

aik, what happened in BROTHERS? come come share story.

my experience was...

they don know how 2 differenciate balance and fader...
but tat was years ago larhh..

hmm.. it was at the 1st Brother's branch..


Y not u buy it and DIY o ask ur fren's who knows 2 help u out? cz recently heard planty complains in the forums...

yeah...get your player there if you think is reasonable....
and install it somewhere else.....i think one of our forummer here do provide installation service.....

with the price tag like that. "hou kek tou yau lan la"

so means BROTHERS' technicians no skill?

haha silllver, i think u mean "hou kek tou yau HAN la"

i supposed there r some.. but then dono the 1 who install it for u is the SIFU o not... mayb "keh leh feh" onli..

i was at Jalan Pasar earlier and did a price survey on the Pioneer DEH3850. the cheapest offer i got was RM550.

does that sound like a good deal?

i know a forum member, Cola is selling the same unit but at only RM480. how is that possible?

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.

what about Kenwood? are Kenwood HUs good? i was at Brothers again earlier and they have a promotion for a Kenwood HU. RM538 including installation.

this model: KDC-MP5033
[attachmentid=123544]

it looks good and the price is rather attractive too. they did not have Pioneer's DEH3850. only 2850 for RM420. ah crap, so many choices, so many prices.

Kenwood ar? Good meh? Becuase look good? or none buy so cheap cheap sale?

Try ECLIPSE la...

isn't Esclipse those high end player?

aiyah i drive Kenari only. no need so good player la.

grr, how's the DEH2850 model? if it's "good enough" then i'll just get that and thus end all my frustration n silent driving only la.

go for the kenwood
if u were to choose the 2850

yup....
2850 suck...

huh really it sucks?

adoi...*tension*

okla, thanks for all your feedbacks ppl. i will not think about it anymore. it's PIONEER DEH3850 FTW!

aahahha yes i always support pioneer but their design not so cantik.
thankfully i see all the new players even lower end got quite nice display thingy.

as for brothers, i think i will buy stuff there but not install there. i went there yesterday to inquire about purchasing woofer n stuff. i duno whether the salesman knows wads he is talking about. dah lah some car audio things i duno how 2 explain in cantonese. they hav no english speaking workers. lol

how's this JVC KD-G405?...thinking to buy also
