wah.. ur budget so tight arhh.. then go for budget brands lorhh.. like driftmeister had mentioned..

this guy here in zth selling woofer in package.. good deal for beginner HERE! but then dono he got serve kuching o not

my recommendation is kicker comp 2005 model and normal brand amp + installation (<1k)...if u need more info where to get it, let me know

how good is pioneer compare to the rest? I consulted my friend this afternoon. He told me he had his pionner installed at only Rm400 plux the box. If so, I would then get a RM600 monoblock. How about if two channel amp? what's the difference?

bro..

u r comparing wat and wat larhh.. i got confused wif ur Q...

well, I was asking if pioneer reasonable with the price for a ICE newbie like me? Or should I get another brand around the price? And if I got myself a pionner woofer, shd I get 2 channel or monoblock amp?

if u 1 precision bass as in responsive get a 2 channel class a/b (which almost all of 'em r) and if u wanna powerful bass then go for a monoblock..

my fren's pioneer which costed him less than rm400 satisfied beginner stage.. and it sounds not bad either.. fetch it if u r interested..

thanks, I'm getting it either this weekend or next week. Will keep up with the performance here later. I wonde if I would have the time to install it... *sob* sitting mock exam

good luck for ur exam..

do enjoy upgrading ICE.. welcome to the addiction of ICE world.. plz stay tuned and upgrade..

Finally I got my ICE installed.

I installed Lanzar 12" Subwoofer instead of Pionner which is cheaper.
I'm using Oxygen 4ch to power it, and also a pre-amp and a 5" LA Componnent for front. All cost me RM1.15k.
Any comment? So far I'm satisfied with them since I'm a newbie.

Planned to install Sony 12" Subwoofer but the package alone without componnent cost me Rm1.1k!

I'm waiting to buy 6" good componnent to install front and the current LA put rear. Surprisingly, there are two sets behind, one 5" and one 6". I never know. So nw I had my 6" pionner midbass (from front) installed behind and using back the 5" OEM speaker.

not bad lanzar and oxygen...

yup get a 6" component soon and put ur 5" behind then get a 2 channel amp/monoblock to boost your woofer and use ur 4 channel to boost your speaker...

Lanzar woofer ar, not enough soft for me....!

Feel you play SPL more..!

prefer pioneer's sub-bass more

tuning punye problem tu.. o ur amp underpower? u need 2 to tame the woofer he! he!

juz j/k.. is shiva's woofer still around penang?

Sometime those woofer no matter how you tune, Bass hard to become soft lo!

ha! ha!.. maybe the woofer's rubber cone makes the soft o hard sound of urs..

hehe, being a newbie to the ICE world, Lanzar so far satisfied me a lot. But I don't really like those freak people who higher up the woofer volume la till cant really hear the song!

Anyway, I got a preamp and I supposed with all those buttons on it, I could only adjust the subwoofer volume, any explanation? I guess they only connect the preamp to woofer and not to the componnent. Could I do any connection to the speakers DIY?

pre-amp actually doesn't serve the "right" device to tune the sound
especially normal/cap ayam brand preamp

what does preamp does then? could I use it to tune my components?

anyway, how could I tune my sub myself through the amp?

there is a remote that u can buy from.. but i'm not sure that if ur amp supports it..

normally wif alpine players.. u can on it louder or softer from the player itself.. (not sure for other players.. )

wat is preamp? check it urself at wikipedia..

comps ? nope
makes no difference

as for sub.. can add an external sub controller
