Welcome to ICE world bro rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

Most plp ( including myself ) playing passive system because its easy to tune and cost less compared to active.. Basic SQ will cost about 4k if im not mistaken with HU, component set, 4 channel amp, woofer, soundproof and wiring all.


Generally some ICE shops will have year end sale. Also you can check these pages in FB..

EA Autoworks, Etoni, Car audio malaysia, KF Audio, ML Automart, E Audio Auto, Frings Kajang and etc.. Also any shops near to you..

And Find for Howie from EA Autoworks in https://forum.lowyat.net/AutomotiveGarageSales..


Plan your budget, take you time, do survey kaw kaw then buy it bro.. Happy hunting thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

Passive system - Uses a passive crossover, like the ones included in component speakers.
Pros - analogue sound, sounds real, "live"
Cons - tuning is done by changing components of the passive crossover, time consuming, trial and error style tuning, custom passives are expensive

Active system - No passive crossover. Crossover freqs are adjusted at the HU, electronic or HU crossover or processor.
Pros - clean, clear, easy to tune (done in 30mins)
Cons - digital sounding, not so "live" feeling

NOTE: active or passive is very subjective. You have to choose what you like. There is no one choice.

Semi active system - HU to electronic crossover to passive crossover to speakers.
You get the accuracy of the active system and the analogue feel of the passive system.

this is from the terminology thread bro.. i suppose this is the right one.. rclxms.gif

bcz my system got a lot of electronic components.. and the sit in car macam go live concert.. brows.gif

Sorry I retire a few years ago. My system sold with the car.

What do you have now, what are you looking to improve and what is your budget?

I think you get a good HU, front components and soundproof for now. I got 12" old RF if you want with lightning audio 2ch amp. Enuf to hear at the end of the block. Just take it.
