difficult to answer, if u have the chance to plug it in and play thats the best way la

other than that have to rely on other users review & recommendation.

thats the deal with amps. too subjective to give much comment on. at least speakers are a lot more easier to comment/rate (like their characteristics/performance) based on experience.

guys, i have a question here...i'm also new in ICE but need to know the difference btw monoblock & amp here?
*
monoblocks generally have better power efficiency and higher output as it is used to drive subwoofers (which of course, requires more power than component speakers)

for further details/technical information, existing websites/pages/wikipedia will be able to provide, do google it yourself if you wish to learn more

Hi, I just installed a boston component set( SX60), n two channel amplifier(80W).
The sound play from cd is very very clear n nice, however, when I change to FM, I noticed that there is significant drop in sound quality, really terrible. Any solution?

My amp is.connected to the component set, while rear 6*9 connect to hu(pioneer).
Haven't instal any sub n monoblock yet.

M trying to take a balance between sq n spl.
*
check/change your HU. its just FM signals not sufficient for your component for optimal playback.

So basically how to tune the amp?
i had a two chanel amp, which has a lpf, hpf , n cross over (all, high, low) n it is connected to my front component set.

my current setup is lpf=20, hpf = x sure (later I check), x over = low, it produce a decent sound for those oldies but not for some rnb song.
how to tune for a bälance sq n spl setting?
*
you said CD ok but FM not ok right? do you still think its the amp? lol

er sifus here bear with my noobness ><

I'm very new to this ICE thing and I'm driving a Myvi.

So I saw the first diagram posted Head unit then leads to 2-channel on left and right. So is it like I got Pioneer as my HU then the 2-channels are my speakers?
*
basically, yes. good references if you wanna DIY, that saves labour cost, and fun for those who are adventurous and/or have the time to do so

ok...for now i want to buy comp set only...budget rm600-800...interested with Focal 165A1...izzit good for rock music?
*
from the general opinions, focal are more towards instrumental/acoustic music. however i have not personally audited one fully myself, i think the pros would give a better opinion than i do.

that said, i think boston acoustics (american brand) does well with most rock, just like grados or allesandro does for the headphones segment.

thats what im looking for...i want speaker that can produce clear instrument sound... i own Alessandro MS1i...and love it...
interested with Maestro also...possible to get Maestro with my budget?
planning to add sub woofer later...should be fine right?
nod.gif...just want to replace my cheap 3-way sony xplod speaker...
THANKS ALL FOR FEEDBACK...appreciate it...
*
german maestro, think of them as the sennheiser equivalent for headphones

both maestro and boston acoustics have low end models thats around 500-600 give/take, and of course have low/mid models that fits your budget of 800-1k

=edit=
oh forgot to add, boston lowest end model comp set (S60, the one im having) is pretty terribad in mid bass/bass in general especially if you dont have an amp to drive it. the mid range bostons i've heard feedbacks that they are quite good even without amps to drive (of course almost every speakers would sound better with amps to drive the mid bass)

lastly, be it boston or maestro, it will rape that shit sony xplod 3 way.

1st one if you dont plan to upgrade anymore, 2nd one is more versatile in replacements/upgrades, however costs more, and takes up more space, more cables etc.

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 smile.gif
