I've been wanting to upgrade my sound system lately. My HU is Blaupunkt and currently running on OEM rear and front speakers.

I went to a car acc jz now and they recommended me JL complete set of components for RM380 + installation. Anyone heard of JL?

Then JL sub for RM380+ using one monoblock (Rm600) to power it. Gosh!~ $$ Anyone heard of the brand JL? How is it? Do you think a moderate RM400++ monoblock is enough to power it?

Huh? What do you mean by xxx?

I Dunno, saw it in a JL box complete with tweeters, croosovers etc... It's not at shop but at house one. So might be cheaper. I dunno. It's XR version I guess.

Req? I dunno much, I simply need add bass to my current system with budget less than RM1k

how do i ensure that it's real or fake? but I tested the quality, good wor!~ maybe, water set?

the subwoofer alone cost rm300... then plus the box everything 400+

i dunno, but it's at home, i think that makes it cheaper. anyhow it's a fake thing? hw to ensure?

hehe.. i'm from kch anyway east m'sia.

ahh... too bad!~ Even if I buy a fake goods, does the performance differ? easy spoilt ka?

gosh!~ But useable rite? won't spoilt easily? ahh!~

arghh... I will just go for Pioneer then at some car acc shop. Safer and cheaper

guys, anyone could help me out?

I budget Rm1k for a sub + amp + installation. Any recommendation? So far I found a lot of my friends are using Pioneer sub , how's it?

huh? Friend, i'm living at kch here la... haha... we are not so advance... huh? my friend installed only Rm1k everything, well of course just moderate amp to power the Pioneer sub...

how to determine the sub is genuine? or real?

do they come with warranty card or wad?

why they come cheap then? hehe... how's the quality? so far I think it's the cheapest and reliable anyway, how bout other subs? they come with warranty card too?

then I guess the JL componnent that my friend introduced is fake. My freind's JL name on the midbass already fade!

anyway, even without warranty cards... it's trustable right? Arghh... I'm so scared now... judging that i'm not a rich kid haha... Rm1k would gone if I choose the wrong stuff!

Your friend is driving EK9 or EG9? So far I've not encountered any EK9 with carbon hood in kch ler1~

as I said, RM1k (amp + sub + installation)

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?

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?

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

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.

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?

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

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

my Blaupunkt player has this setting "X-bass" not sure what it is. Anyone?
