thanks..it was helpful..
but i do realize something here..mine setup was different..i guess..
got 1 HU..2 Tweeter..4x5" Speaker..1xAmp..and 1x12" Subwoofer..all the component installed under 1 amp..the sound boleh didengar la..so,possible ar my setup?

still possible,amp is 4channel yes?

yes u can try to use the 4XS to play your front components active (connect mids and tweets directly to amp, bypass passive) but ONLY if u have the correct xover modules inside the 4XS. u have to check what the xover point is (high pass filter/low pass filter) for tweeter it must be 2000hz above

i also feel u can use 4awg power cable instead of 0awg and use the money saved to get better speaker cables

erm can anyone mind to explain what the diffrent between 2way full active and 2way full range?
erm are those setup same like diagram below also?

yes

2way fullrange = 2way speaker (like tweeter + midbass) that plays full frequency range

Recently know a friend who taught me some info on ICE.

He does recommend to go for High-Mid-Sub setup than Front-Mid-Sub setup.

From my understanding (on what he explained to me), high-mid-sub (would be usually for the 4-channels amp to power up the midbass + tweeters (take out the crossover) and subwoofer either powered by another 2-channels amp or utilising active subwoofer.
Front-mid-sub would be 4-channels amp to drive a component speaker set and another 2 channels for the subwoofer.

Which setup is more likely to be recommended for SQ setup?

As I see, most ICE shop does recommend front-mid-sub setup. Is it because of the cost or it does sound better than high-mid-sub?

* Assuming the component speaker set is 2-way.

from your description:
id say front - mid - sub

however your description is just vague as hell and i believe you're getting the terms incorrectly.

also why would you take out the crossover if you're not gonna have an active setup/processor?

from your post alone, id say forget what your friend taught you about ICE

erm..sorry guy,need help abit bout tweeter and mid range location..the location of those tweeter and mid range must be ventrical with tweeter on top,mid range at bottom?is there any prob if horizontal,the tweeter must abit higher than mid range?yeah it for A-pillar ..tq

tweeters typically on a - pillar or dashboard for those not wanting to mod a pillars/spend on custom fiber glass

mid (3 ways) typically below tweeters around a-pillar location too

mid bass (and mid for 2 ways) typically on the door kick panel

yup i know bro the midbass on the door panel..jus wonder bout mid+tweeter on the pillar.coz the space between pillar and meter not wide enuf..if dont want to put higher on the pillar,will it be ok if put horizontal for both mid and tweeter?or the tweeter shud be abit higher than mid

so can assume you're doing 3 way setup?

well by horizontal, does it mean you're sorta putting on the dashboard? (by meter i assume meter cluster/instruments?)
sound stage wouldn't be too ideal, i think what people do is just place if higher, and have it tilting slightly lower

maybe other sifu can comment

can lah, ive used that way before on the jazz for competition, its all about trial and error before deciding on a final location, with some compromise of coz

hi all bro and sifu sekalian,

I am having some problem of connecting my head unit (one pair of RCA) to 4 channel amp.
Act, my set up was done by one of the so called sifu at my hometown and he said dat his set up is damn superb whereby his set up with only 8 subwoofer is able to cover another competitor with 12 subwoofer.
If found out a lot of setting being done wrongly by this guy. I am using this 4 channel amp to run one set of component at one subwoofer.
He used channel a for the component set and channel b for the subwoofer. I found out that for channel b (subwoofer), he chose the setting as off instead of LPF. Act, which one shud be the correct setting for subwoofer? LPF or off? In my opinion LPF shud b the correct setting after going thru ice forum in lowyat.
I have drawn two drawing for ur reference. Currently, my set up is connection A but I feel that connection B should be more appropriate.
For connection A, i will be getting mono instead of stereo bcs he is connecting the rca (right side) from head unit to channel A for left and right sides.
So, which one shud be the correct connection? Connection A or B?
Thank you very much for the help!!!

i guess Connection B shud b better as u'll get stereo signal for all channels. but hopefully d signal output from HU is strong enuf to be splitted.

getting a HU with 2 pairs RCA pre-out will definitely solve ur problem....

To sifu-sifu,

Actually at what wattage rating one would normally consider his ICE as SPL setup? I mean there must be some kind of borderline between SQ and SPL? I dont want to waste money on the unused power by buying high rated one.

The thing is I plan to get good SQ + decent SPL setup but quite reluctant to go too far as to spend extra for upgrading alternator, adding secondary battery, those huge caps, other whatnot etc etc.. Issit possible? I learnt that grounding cable is a must so besides that I only plan on getting good component set, amps and sub+box as got quite tight budget around 2k at max. So which watt range should I aim, that consider safe for my battery health without those power upgrades?

Guys urgently, I got 3 RCA HU, 1 set com , 1 set 6x9 and a 12 inch sub n 4 channel amp.

Can this item all be a setup? Or I need another amp?

means can i use a 4 channel amp to push a 12" subwoofer?4 brigde to 1

very seldom got 4ch amp can bridge to 1ch.....

Can. Front RCA out can go to channel 1 & 2 of the amp to power the front component set. Then Sub RCA out can go to channel 3 & 4 and then connect the sub to these channels in bridge mode. As for the 6x9 speaker, just directly connect to the speaker output of the HU so not powered from the amp but directly from the HU.
Note that this is provided that your power amp has sufficient power to drive the component set and sub, and can bridge. If your amp does not have enough power to drive the sub, then need to get 1 more mono or 2 channel amp to power the sub. Then channel 3 & 4 can be connected to RCA out 3 & 4 from the HU to power the 6x9.
