aaa i get it. Its like a portable (headunit) but i have a few collections of CD and im not keen on getting an outboard processor anytime soon. I might do that on my other car tho. thanks for the suggestion. By the way. Compared to CD (original) quality. how does it fair?

FLAC files are kinda hard to get by arent they? But i belive FLAC is as good as aac? i mean itunes or what format it uses? no?

Wellll..... Just some updates AGAIN.

Added in..


An Eclipse E5503CMT (runs 3 way active and individual EQ for each channel)

Changed my tweets to full range drivers





Now i have an official ES62

Will post the tunings and videos later. Tuning using IPad audiocontrol app + pink noise cd. Seems like its a pain in d butt as a outboard processor will have more control on the EQ curves n settings.

Currently running these drivers / speakers @

Low @ 64Hz 6db Slope
Mid @ 80Hz HPF / 400Hz 12db slope LPF (bandpass)
High @ 640Hz 6db slope HPF

Wont a FLAC player / device cost a bomb? Im still comfortable with CD's tho. I dont mind bringing my CD bag whenever i enter the car.

If i go FLAC, wont i need a portable FLAC player? and then plug in via aux rite? Wont it degrade the sound? just wondering as i have no knowledge of portable media device. As for USB, i have a slight hint of understanding. Im afraid that ( Portable media device already converted from Digital to Analog > AUX > Analog convert to Analog again no?)

Ok. Here is a picture of me tuning.


App i used.


Used RTA.

Before tuning.


After tuning.

Will fine tune again once i can get hold of UMIK-1 from miniDSP.

Here's a simple VID. Best viewed at 480/720p.

more updates. Dekit my Alpine amp and got myself finally a good amp. Might be cap ayam for others but its not everyday i can afford a Rm2k+ amp. Got myself a Flux FA4.100. Some pics.





Installation time


a simple short video.



Critics welcomed

U in kuching

Some updates.

I changed my player to a Eclipse CD7000 for a few weeks till i have enough cash for a dream come tru Denon headunit.

The eclipse that i used for a few weeks CD7000. Has a very nice vocals on this. Vocals on this baby is clear. Without altering any EQ n other aesthetics. But sadly, i sold it off.



Once i got the cash that i need. I removed all of my RCA (used to be Flux BC cables) and changed all of it to Tchernov Standard 2IC. This is my first most expensive RCA ive ever owned. All 4 cables are 1.65m of length. Cost me RM520 each.



And my long awaited Denon DCT-A100. That moment it came to the post and to my palms
The moment i tested it at my test bench. I knew its not those overhyped headunits. Ran active on my test bench. My cheapo Dominations Buddies sounded like expensive speakers. Used those Remastered CD's "audiophile"



And got myself a cheap DSP for me to go active




Dominations The Corpus Callosum. Its based on Macrom EXT.A1DSP

Final pics. I love that combo. Especially at night



Thats all folkes. Video will be posted later.

Some of you might be familiar with the brand Flux, Yep.... Dekit my dominations components and went for an upgrade. I went with Flux Spirit. Tho i changed the grills on it to use flux basic because

1. Im scared that my daughter will be poking things into it like she did before
2. The grills on basic is honeycomb and has a full look to it compared to spirit.

Changed all my speaker cables to Tchernov cables. Yet still, all this mods, not even keen to join any competition all for self pleasure






That pillar is those aftermarket pillar. I dont even know who made em and what. All i can say that its damn thin. I had to do some adjustments and add some layer of soundproof inside.


Some tchernov speaker cables. Just their entry level cables. Not willing to fork out RM80/M cables.

Next to come is another Flux FA4.100 and a Sub.

Continue on the setup. Manage to get myself another Flux FA100.4. Took me quite a while hunting it down. Its damn hard to find one unlike the recent products Evo and Sporty (internals like garbage). Also added 2 more Tchernov RCA and tweeter wire, also from Tchernov. Just some installation pics tho. Nothing much.

The very moment i open up my front chairs. Yup. Very messy. My previous wiring job was just average. Easily pulled cables. But nvm. My intention was to dekit all my previous speaker wiring and do it right. Finalized.



Hello there partner


And again. My DSP. Its based on Macrom EXT.A1DSP


The definition of maggi mee. Pulling all wires...


One side done..


the other side practically 50% done


To be continued.....

Continue the pics.

Was brainstorming on where should i mount my DSP.. After 3 sticks of ciggies and some tempering, i decided to mount it behind the underseat sub (temporary solution) Till i can make my "fiber sub box" in front and only then properlly screw on the DSP on the box itself at the same location.


Tucked in all the wires properly this time. Under the carpet. Not beside. Since i aint gonna change any speaker wires anymore.



Will be continued. Lazy and tired.

If you're talking bout the WCC 3 way component where the magnet of the speakers are small diameter (dont remember what type of magnet its called. Berylium if im not mistaken) i have already auditioned it. Not up to my expectation and price vs performance. The WCC is only selling for its brand. If you have a chance to audition Flux Spirit and the WCC, you would know what i mean. But still. Thats just my 2 cents. Different people has different ears.

I understand. Reading reviews is one thing. Some reviews are biased also. Still, its better if u have a chance to audition one. Then u may figure it out isit worth the price vs performance of it. Btw, what is HAT?

oh hybrid audio. You know which specific model its replicating? Some HAT is entry level too.

Done my research. The West Coast Custom is following the Legatia SE from Hybrid Audio. I think is the strip down of the real deal Legatia. Ive audition the Legatia SE but i wonder why does it not sound the same as the WCC by HAT.

i do. the bare door frame itself. All 2 layers. Inner and outer. and the door cover 1 layer of soundproof + the black sponge. And its damn heavy. Also, DIY. I can share pics later.

Got some goodies in a box today. Inside the box are some stuff for me to sell but what do you know. Deep down inside was a Nakamichi CD-45Z. I guess most of u ICE'ers are familiar with that model so i dont think i need to intro anything on it right? Just sharing a pic.



Main purpose is to test this unit out and to my surprised. Everything is working as it should. Here's a simple vid.
