the bold part.... you should be telling us. whats is YOUR budget? how much u willing to spend?

Opps... I think my budget is around 1000-2000...

get a decent pair of component set + a 2 channel amp for the start with this budget...

later on then add in sub if u dun plan to change the HU

I have a City Vtec. The sound system seems okay to me .
Probably want to find something to add the bass, but the overall sound is not bad .

Wow... Really...??? This is different from wat i heard...

So wat do think we have to add for the car??? AMP and woofer???

Honda City is a good car to play SQ....
Don't waste it....HEHE!

Change your component 1st....get a decent component such as DynAudio, Focal or Vifa...upgrade it step by step.

Wat is this??? Sorry for being noob...

Dynaudio, Focal & Vifa decent?
Not so easy to make Dynaudio sing well...

waliu, starting already ask ppl to go for dynaudio focal and vifa? budget 1-2k only la....

bro emperor: i think the new city comes with integrated HU dy, unlike the previous model. So changing it might be abit hard/ expensive wait till ur car comes first, then u hear the sound. If ok ma no need change.

The stock audio for City really not bad. But just not bad only.
After you listen to those car that got play ICE, sure you wanna change.
I also plan to upgrade my City ICE. Currently is the stock Kenwood HU.
Plan for 4 channel amp + component speaker > subwoofer > HU.

Just wanna know if the front door can fit 6.5" component? I have a city VTEC 2004 and wish to upgrade the sound system also. Currently thinking of Pioneer 6950 + Component (Alpine Type-S any good?). Will add a subwoofer later on w/amp also, only listens to alternative, soft rock and pop. Any suggestions?

i will not touch a brand new car electronics because it will void the car warranty

check out with the dealer

for city ride, the first thing u need to change is the tak boleh pakai HU......the stock HU is suckss.....the comps & other still okie performing....if u change all your comps....& play ur city stock HU....give me 2second, i will go down from the car....i experience in my friends city ride which he change to brand ADS comps & amps....& with stock HU....really wasted the entire system.....

Which batch of City you refering? Which HU? Intergrated one?
Mine Kenwood one quite ok...

Oh ya, I got the same question bout the front door can fit 6.5" component?

im not sure city got how many type...i think is the kenwood type..is grey type......my frens city is abt 2 years....i had audited 1 all stock & 1 change comps & amps....still the same outcome...is the HU problem....

2 years?... I think is the classic blaupunkt one.

hav you done a blind folded test? between a city with a stock HU and a city with a aftermarket high end HU?

try tht and see if it really make a huge difference... if you couldnt hear the difference then money is playing a fool out of you...

cheers...

vtec, i'm not sure, but i'm using idsi, overall, sucks. haha..

if u wan cheap cheap ah.. get tweeter n put a sub loh, n equalizer loh.

if ada budjet change whole set loh.

player name kenwood. but nothing to play wit.. cheap hu.
