Hey guys, I'd like to ask some advice here. I'm really not an expert in how sound system works in car.

I'm driving a Saga SV with stock HU. I'm thinking of changing the HU since it doesn't have USB port to play Mp3. So,

1) What model/brand should I choose? My budget is around RM500 and below. Because my concern is only on USB Mp3 port.

2) Does HU differs in sizes? I mean if I choose any brand/model, will it fit to the car's HU compartment?

2) If I want to upgrade the speaker system, what item should I install in order to do this? As far as I know is the amp, speaker, maybe a sub-woofer. What spec is good for entry-level system?

3) Let's say I've bought a new HU (online), how much the is the installation cost in workshop?

Thanks in advance.

Buy water set must accept consequence of no local factory warranty.

Make sure ur seller willing to send it back for u or some other collateral before buying.
Chances of getting a lemon unit is quite low, but see how lucky r u.
