I do know much of ICE stuffs.

All i know is 2 front speakers, 2 back speakers, 1 subwoofer, 1 amp..and HU.

I want a trustable, quality, durable n budget ICE.

*title aledi put rm1k-1.5k

i assume it's goinna b rm1.5k for 2 front speakers (4 channel amp, 2 back speakers (draw from HU), 1 sub (draw from the 4 channel amp), 1 sub box, 1 4xchannel amp and wirings...

so every1 think it's possible huh? wif the "i want trustable, quality, durable n budget ice" statement it is still possible?? icon_rolleyes.gif

to me trustable ICE would b branded stuffs edi.. rm800 for a reputable amp, rm300 for a normal woofer, rm80 woofer box (if ada), wiring and workmanship would b around rm 150 and the rest r for speakers... how much would u left?

unless he said rm1.5k for component + decent amplifier then may sound reasonable to me wif his statements of "trustable, quality, durable n budget".. in my mind no cheap stuff is good stuff sweat.gif

Ooh...i thought 1.5k at least can get a pretty decent ICE Setup.sigh..

Hmm...so brother mattchin, can u give me an idea ..
how to build up a 1.5k decent ICE setup mah?

im using wira...wira speakers quite good , rite?
So shud i go for AMP, woofer, and box...is that enuff lor??  unsure.gif

As im not that kind of person who opens the window and let ppl hear the music.
I wanna listen songs syok syok with myself n my Gf...hehe..  wub.gif
*
ha! ha! i never know that i can listen song/radio inside the car cz my gf is whistling.gif whistling.gif

u should start urself wif and amplifier and a component speakers.. regarding speakers, wat types of music r u heading for? i mean pop, rock, r&b ...etc...

get a good amplifier.. do u mind using 2nd hand amplifier? cz wif a new normal amp u can go for a good 2nd hand amp..

hmmm.. i think rm1.5k for all 2nd hand items might gif u a decent 1.. (i assume u r sticking wif ur kenwood mp3 HU..)

so u mean i have to focus on the front comp ..amp...woofer...rite?

the stock wira front comp can cabut out lor??  unsure.gif

stock wira doesn't haf any front component speakers.. i recomend u 2 forget the back speakers unless u always bring ppl around wif ur car..

rm1.5k can start ur project liao.. by it's a step by step project.. it is better to do step by step rather than doing all @ 1 shot.. laugh.gif cz u don really enjoy the fun of ICE upgrading.. the satisfaction u'll get can't even mention by words (for me tongue.gif )

now u focus on a set of component speakers and amp first.. woofer come later lar.. bcz u can c how much of budget r u left wif cool.gif

regarding the cables.. u can use normal speaker cables and a good RCA cable from belden, monster, etc... budget them around rm200+ for 2metre o even cheaper if u can source it @ a cheaper price..

buy a 4 channel amp..

first 2 channel u use it to power ur front components
and the other 2 u use it to move ur woofer

start wif ur component first bcz it is more important than only come to ur amp.. the rest u left then onli plan for ur woofer..

try getting those components from the forum (garage sales- automotive section) o zth.. there r good quality components selling @ quite cheap price..

installation u can find our brother howiechoo.. he! he! biggrin.gif

suddenly i read got pre-amp lah....subwoofer lah....
WATT is count on AMP or SPEAKER ger jek ??

*noobie

pre-amp is for those ultra noobies.. so plz juz forget about it.. i've draw it very clear liao larhh.. i also dono where u don UN.. laugh.gif

if it is written on the speakers it means the power that needs to run at.. (normally it's maximum) u need 2 c how much ur components need 2 power for.. (normally around 50rms watt + -) (can i call rms the pure reading o watt) i

the amp itself also is also written how much rms watt it can produce.. so if it suits.. then it is.. bear in mind that those chapalang brand amps doesn't come wif any rms especially u c those 1000watt.. it might b onli p.m.p.o watt.. (juz j/k)

i don understand the subwoofer lor..woofer / subwoofer is what ne??  sad.gif
hehe..sorry ah..slow to catch up.hope u don mind.

so do u mean front comp set rms must more or less equal with amp rms?
rms is ??

then how many watts of amp n rms should i get ne?

yah..i got kenwood mp3 player...

notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif

seriously i don gif a shit wat's a woofer o a subwoofer... 2 me they r a speaker that produces deep bass which is below 60hz.. this woofer continues the bass that the component's mid can't carry on wif..

if u r asking how many watts (rms) u r looking for depends on ur budget.. actually u can try out 2nd hand woofer and also amp which will save u plenty.. u don c them.. but u only hear them.. u hear them but u won't know it's 2nd hand.. sometimes woofer which is 2nd hand performs better bcz it is more responsive (plz.. this is 2 me onli) and there r times, ppl call this run in (he! he!.. i know it's a week for the speakers 2 run in)..

branded amps such as a/d/s, alpine, eclipse .. etc can last u very very long time.. i have an alpine 4 channel amp which my father bought on year 92 still works until now.. (but very low rms 20rms+- per channel cz i can't remember)..

if u don mind, i can help u 2 notice around if there is any 2nd hand good items in the forum..

normal size for the component's tweeter is 1" and mid is 6.5"..

it is best 2 take 6.5" cz it will produce more bassy sound..
there r also 4", 5.25", 5.5", 6" and 6.5"..
