hehehe...i was asking loon actually...hehehe tongue.gif .......anyway, not all branded stuff entry level is around RM1K...brands like BM and SS around RM300-400.....ive seen MTX and RF comps around the range of RM500-600 smile.gif ....i guess RM1K entry level stuff must be really good entry level stuff... nod.gif

I'm using that set on my other car and I'm really disappointed with the performance.High pitch frequency is rather disturbing when driving under hot weather condition.

Probably should check out Focal or DLS.

MB Quart tweeter bright because it is titanium tweeter ma.. not softdome tweeter.
MB Quart got the way to play.. you can refer Alpha uncle to give advice how to play it...

Becarefull MTX & RF which sell as cheap as RM500 ... It might be imitation...
RF punch component cost around RM1.2k .... If found RM500... It might imitation...

Please confirm that is coxial speaker or component... As I know RF power coxial cost around RM600..but RF Power component cost RM2K cool.gif

bro wave.gif , some of my frens said that golden is the only one shop in Penang that does ICE tuning using osciloscope sweat.gif , well that depends how much u are willing to spend also laugh.gif ...if the more u can spend, then take do it more nicely and use their advance equipments to do it compared to other shops tongue.gif .....hahahaha.......my frens said they been to many shops in Penang so far but only Golden does it.... icon_rolleyes.gif

on Alpha, the chinese boss there is quite nice fella also biggrin.gif ...but then his staff (the malay boys) who is doing the installation most of the time I takut abit ler sweat.gif .....perhaps less experience one ler....if uncle does the installation I dont mind ler try to go to him rolleyes.gif .....like if u see golden, the old fellas are the only ones doing ICE installation cos they said they afraid to hire other ppl to do it for their customers incase if their staff doesnt do a good job, so this probably will spoil Golden's name..... sweat.gif

on RF comps and coaxs, I will check it out for u tomorrow...Im free in da evening, so will go and see ler cool.gif .....update u later....but power series is sure better than punch series thumbup.gif ....price also nice ler....hehehehe.... laugh.gif

hehehehe.....hhmm...golden boss talk like dat cos I heard they are IASCA judges biggrin.gif ...some more their reputation is good in Penang so maybe thats why they talk like that to u rolleyes.gif .....to me, wat he said was quite knowledgeble for a newbie like me....same goes for alpha boss... thumbup.gif

if alpha boss does tuning, maybe I will give it a try rclxms.gif ....does he have the alpine amp and comps that u recommended in earlier posts? last time he recommend lightning audio's bolt amps the yellow color ones...hehehehe... laugh.gif

osciloscope story, I think they will only take it out when they see u willing to spend money...hahahaha.... laugh.gif laugh.gif

As I know diference people, the way tuning difference...
Some like add Time Alighment, EQ....on ICE
Some just prefer tuning basic setup only (HU, amp & speaker + xover) without TA & EQ..

osciloscope only show off when their customers need to see show loh...
Saw before Helix amp tuning by using Helix osciloscope..

yeah, u are rite...some ppl use angle management also to get good staging tongue.gif ...hehehe... laugh.gif

anyway, I went to alpha yesterday evening but couldnt be there long enuff cos uncle needs to go for a dinner, ask me to come again another day....he's giving me a non-china made MBQ DSE-216 for a good price that matches my budget quite nicely brows.gif ...but I havent decide just yet sweat.gif ....also he offered me sound proofing deal for 2 front doors for RM200... smile.gif overall it was good meeting him cos he is quite knowledgeble and technical in ICE... notworthy.gif time well spent for me...

I think I will be going there again in da afternoon or evening today, perhaps will install the sound proofing first to feel the difference first rclxm9.gif .....then later on decide on which comp speakers as need to test them out yet first rite, maybe will test out speakers today also ler... icon_rolleyes.gif

on RF comps and coaxs, I couldnt go to crystal sound becos I went elsewhere later so will probably go there today......will let u know then..... tongue.gif

by the way, may I ask why MBQ's tweeters always naked one....I mean like there is no cover made to cover the tweeter unlike other brands in the market.... rclxub.gif

hey loon, thanks for the pic, that was really helpful..... thumbup.gif

I think once Im there, will probably put sound proofing and then test out few comps sets brows.gif ......thinking of that MBQ, RF and lightning audio......wat u think of lightning audio man biggrin.gif ? is it more SPL then SQL? I heard other ppls LA ICE, quite OK also in my book.... tongue.gif .....more so, I heard u took LA woofer from uncle, is it true smile.gif ?

talk about crystal sound, I think alpha will be better....I rather go somewhere where the installer is technically experience than somewhere where I can get cheaper speakers wink.gif .....after all, if anyone wants good installation and tuning in ICE, he or she must be prepared to spend da money.... tongue.gif
