Hi All,

I'm looking for new HU for playing SQ passive..not consider for 80PRS because it too high class for me and also not sure my components able to support for active or not..

So i'm looking for HU budget within RM1K, do any suggestion HU for me? Thanks alot!!

Besides that, any comment for Pioneer AVH-165DVD and AVH-175DVD about the sound quality?

AVH-165DVD is very plain..basic, nothing more than a HU that cannot do anything more. Option/Setting/EQ very limited. You get what you pay for. SQ, check your speaker dulu.

Tweeter is mb quart, mid is rockford, amp is pegasus, woofer is prokick..

but hor, all apa model also forget d..haha...

can i use 80prs and run for those component i have and only passive? is will be wasted the 80prs or not?

Thanks ur reply ha..

I remember my component already,

tweeter : mb quart
Mid : rockford R1653
4ch Amp : Pegasus PGA504D
2ch Amp : Dream Audio
woofer: 12 Inch prokick

nobody have suggestion on this....??

now not many ppl play ice edi....

about hu or speakers or amps, not much different if u didnt go for the highend stuff...

u can get the 80prs, no problem. If can try to get one full set of component speakers with the same brand and series..

yalo..sipek sien..actually i play SQ around 2-3 years d, but surrounding my fren also no ppl play ICE..

meaning that based on current component i have, even i buy 80prs also wont have too much different?

there is no such thing as your component can support active or not... its just a matter of o you know what you are doing or not... if you want to know more about the basics of active settings, you could explore the manuals for your HU and your component on the basics and walk-around...

**should just keep in mind on your frequency settings for each speakers...

on the pioneer DVD... I enjoyed using the current AVH-X**** series more than any other HU on the market nowadays... its intuitive, its clean sounding, its features packed... but the only thing is you have to add on another processor of your choice to go active on these...

as for P80 and the sorts... my experience with them... they always leaves me wanting more from them... to be honest, I never recommended them to anyone eventhough I still keep one...

Understand..maybe i just want to know that whether after i change my HU(Panasonic CQ7303N), the sound will getting more clear compare with now or not...haha...

that would depend on how bad the system was installed...

a good installations will sound good even on OEM HU...

harke, hu alone cant do much, any item that u upgrade got slight different for sure, but to what extend then need to see what u upgrade, every components in a system equally important from installation, ur entire system, cables and speaker placement affect ur sound.

but if u r not going very highend, u dun have to bother tho.....

why want to go active? if u r free n u know how to tune ok la, if duno better go for passive... less headache..

my 2cts...

Actually is not very bad la, only i can feel that the sound come out from my speaker is not balance..like too sharp from the tweeter when i higher the volume..if the volume is low, then is not sharp enough...

Hmm...I have a PRS80...full active and the difference between my previous player and even PRS80 without any tuning is huuuuuuuge

So yeah...I really really recommend it. But it needs to be tuned properly to get the best out of it. and of course if you are going to get it tuned, then you will need some work on your doors.

I recommend you visit howiechoo at EA Autowork for recommendations.

Ya..so now i running passive..even thus change 80prs, plan to run passive also..

If i run on passive, will it have huge different also...??

common problem with passive system i have encounter is unbalanced sound between the tweets and the mids...

so in the end... its either i customize the passives or go active...

May i know how to customize the passive system?

as cheap as few ringgit to few k.....depend on quality....
the main prob is the material u use. whether it's real good or just something sililiar...

Probably you might spend a lot more just to get it right on the crossover.

Might as well just change to a better component system.

i saw someone selling P80 RS1 around RM550, will it worth?

I plan to change HU 1st before change my component set..maybe i will looking a new component set to replace the R1653..

wa..sipek deep....

custom built another passive crossover circuit...


something like this...

yummy yummy!

wei..me just beginner level nia..dont show me deep deep things le

imho, all new things need to run in before they sound nice.

use ori passive will do, i always dun really recommend to custom your passive, if u can spend a fortune on ur passive why not top up to either ur hu, speakers or amp....


if ur setup very highend already, and u want to fine tune then yes...

i already bought a P80 2nd hand, maybe i will try active and learn how to fine tune the sound on this weekend

Good... if u willing to learn then go for it...

make sure u understand your speakers and amps specs, u also need to know what is highpass, lowpass n bandpass, what freq to feed ur speakers cause u got no protection anymore, ur mp direct feed ur speakers freq n power...

sifu~~~can teach a bit how to tune for suitable the speaker regarding the highpass, lowpass and bandpass ah?? and what means for mp..??

paiseh la, me really noob on this leh~~

typo mp = amp

Correct me if im wrong on this theory.

HPF = High pass filter = Sends high frequency signals out to your speaker
LPF = Low Pass Filter = Usually for Sub, sends low frequencies to your sub/low
Bandpass = Mixed of the above

Before u fiddle with that, Know your speakers response range. If you put it too low you can risk spoiling a voice coil. too high and it will distort. If you still keep your manual for your speakers, then u can play around but never go below its FS.

Sifu here can correct me if im wrong. I also budak baru belajar

distortion happens when you push the system to over its limitations... usually the main thing is how you set your amplifier's gain knobs according to your HU RCA output...

as for xover points, never go below [ Fs * 2 ]

today i already go for active with P80, the sound so nice

but i having a problem, the sound for the rear \ subwoofer is not working.. there is no output signal for the subwoofer..and i need share the mid output to the subwoofer just can worked..

anyone having this problem for P80? isnt setting problem for the HU or the rear \ subwoofer output already have problem?

thank you craziechild, yup typo should be amp instead of mp

harke86, i m not sifu leh, only being busybody here keke

sorry not familiar with p80
