if ur talking in terms of Sony HUs then its because ever since the Xplod series their HU absolutely sucks in reliability.

alot of my friends Xplod started skipping like mad within the first 3-4 months. and 1 even died on him and another just wouldnt play CD at all anymore. simple as that.

as for kenwood amps (or other commercial brands) they dont really produce the oomph u would expect from their specs. another un-commercial brand of the same (or lower) specs can spank them easily.

but as with all audio equipment....to each their own.

@Deadlock
i drive a kelisa and i have a 12" sub in a sealed enclosure box in my boot man u should give the 12" subs a go and see if ur satisfied with it. the adire shiva would be a bang for buck SQ woofer. and some even say it can be used for SPL. never tested it out muhself though and dunno where to get oso... i know penang got easier to get it than KL.

my setup is more towards SPL as i listen to metal only. can see the specs in muh sig.


as for everyone else... ALL ur english oso suck la...

my engrand is more powderful than urs

damn thats funny.... u misunderstood la bro... NO ONE accused u of flaming and not listening....

its jojo902156 thy were talking about. mattchin got flamed by him/her and loon1031 decided to join in... but i get the feeling that loon1031 accidentally targetted the wrong person

anyway... i dunno why ur so worried about boot space in ur car... unless ur talking about 2x12" la then i would understand. but if ur talking about 1x12" in the boot... then its a small matter la provided u use a box instead of tube aka bazooka enclosure. like i said i drive a kelisa and i have a 12" in my boot and boot space isnt much of an issue unless i decide to carry big stuff that takes up half the boot space.

also, i say stick with ur current HU. u already spent quite abit on it so live with it for awhile...besides... ur happy with it so let it be la.

"Steg" is a brand...very popular among ICErs

u also mentioned upgrading to 3way comps for the front.. why man? id prefer to leave them as 2-way personally.

by the way, what kinda music u listen to?

u guys should go to autoworld.com.my forum and go to the ICE section

most of the sifoos there are from penang and they have ICE TTs quite often.

i get most of my answers there and up to date they havent failed me yet. especially this dude with the nick Pras. very knowledgeable and very helpful.

they should know where to get the Adire Shiva in Penang.

EDIT: A shop called 'Golden' somewhere in Bayan Lepas happens to have been mentioned alot by the Penang ICErs in AW forum.
