Hello fellow forumers and sifus, anyone of u are into passive sound system? And is there any comparison on the components used, SQ, cost?

Can share if dont mind 

Welcome to ICE world bro   

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

have you found yourself another tuner?

thanks bro 

i actually wanted to listen to other higher end cars bcz i only beginner 

need more exposure man.. ear spoil ear spoil

then you will get poisoned kaw kaw le   

my car got do a bit audio only lah.. ntg much one.. so wanna listen those tht got a lot things.. 

i suppose i alr got poisoned..    

i saw a lot ppl do active systems bcz it's easier to tune.. and i heard passive ones are the one hard to tune..

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.

not yet bro, got time but no $$$.. huhu

But planning to drop by to EA one day for soundproof and some small small stuffs..

The high end passives are custom made. >rm3k. just the passives. low end custom passives start at rm1.2. sure you wanna go down this road?

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.

Just dropped by EA for basic front doors Soundproofing and amp... Money is the limit hahaha Poison never ends

This is what i am talking about.. 

True indeed  :lol2:

So hows ur system now after that bro.. my 4 ch rosak and sent to repair.. huhu.. no music for time being..

Midbass got more definition. More details. Most importantly the rattles in the front doors produced from the speakers when blasting music is greatly reduced to almost zero. Other changes are subtle at most. after doing all this,its still halfway done only. Subwoofer and sound processor, plus mono amp and soundproofing the rear boot and roof. if money falls out from the sky again.

  Nicee, tell me more about it after you done your soundproof and tuning~ quite interested in your system (CLARION FTW bro)

sure bro.. we meet up one day once i settle those stuffs.. kasi poison sikit..   

What is your current setup now?

very basic saja bro.. clarion cz 703 hu, morel maximo comp, adams digital 4ch, re audio mono and re audio sub..

still got long way to go..

How's the player so far bro.. was thinking of this and pioneer deh 80prs

Hi bro, its sounds amazing.. but my initial plan was to get 80prs but no budget so bought clarion.. cz703 was around 900 and 80prs is around 1400..

Diff between cz703 and 80prs is their EQ selection whereby cz705 have 5 band and 80prs is 16 band..

But 80prs doesnt have built in USB slot. you need use external usb adapter sold separately.. And cz703 have dual usb output.. one in front and another at the back..

rear output was connected to my oem usb output.. so i can use both usb ports..

Is the features of clarion complicated as the 80prs?

The 80PRS is a much viable option compared to the Clarion. Much better support and at the same time many Tuners are accustomed to it already.

The only Clarion I've really digged is the only one that I have used before - the HX-D2  :thumbsup:

Hx-d2 still sold by Clarion as of today ... right ?

hard to obtain and the price tag also crazy..

New ones are on pre-order basis.

A few used units pops up here and there at times...

OK.. as I checked clarion website... still there...  what is the selling price of a new unit now? Just curious and shy to ask shop since I have no intention to buy now anyway... hehe...

It was my primary target but out of budget when searching one.. haizzz..
