Well, I guess everyone has stated their opinion here and this is what I have in mind regarding the thread in general.
There 2 ways to achieve good sound quality. 1. Splash tonnes of cash on expensive stuff and believe everything that is written on the papers. eg. THD, SNR, RMS, etc etc. 2. Believing your own ears. I would lean towards no.2 more than no.1 As my explanation may not be lengthy and technical. I myself have an argument months ago which is to go for Class D vs Class AB amps. Monster Cable vs normal cables. Sometimes, it's not just about the high-end producers or the words written on the paper. If they say it's 0.05%THD. How would you know? 0.05%THD vs 0.10%THD. Can you really notice the difference? It's just 0.05PERCENT. believe your ears. Edit : bafukie taught me this. This post has been edited by kenlimfornication: Jun 9 2008, 12:31 PM |

ICE is a totally different art compare to home-audio. Home-audio very simple like you buy the max within your budget & install it in a square quiet air-cond room using book-shelf or floor-standing speakers depending on your 'taste' of sound. ICE setup 1st you will need to specify type of car, enclosure type for sub in relation to boot space, hardware you have or plan to purchase & the type of music you frequently listen to. If you can't make up yur mind as the above than just plonk a system between $1,200 to $1,800 for a semua-boleh system which will compromise most music.

If they also distort, why buy hi end anyway? U pay for the built technology. Using complex circuitry and some hi end electrodes, capacitors, transistors or watever u name it, the result is brilliant sound. Even if they distort, they will keep it to minimal. yeap..xpensive means great build quality..QUOTE(bafukie @ Jun 8 2008, 06:33 PM) no need ask me geh... ask google can liao ths 1 ezy setup for beginners..new tech  THD: Total Harmonic Distortion Total Harmonic Distortion: When an amplifier is driven with a signal, the output of the amplifier is an amplified version of the input signal PLUS any distortion created by the amplifier. All amplifiers and signal processors add distortion to the signal. The levels of harmonic distortion in a high quality amplifiers are sooooo far below audibility that they are basically of no concern. When someone tells you that one amplifier is definitely going to sound better because its THD is rated at .002% vs an amp with .05%, you can be pretty sure that he doesn't know what he's talking about. Many people believe that THD below 1% is not audible and I believe they're probably correct. The fact is, especially in an automobile, the amplifier is the least of your worries. Speakers used for mids and highs commonly produce between 1% an 5% THD and for subwoofers the numbers can easily reach 10%. This doesn't even take into account all of the resonances of all of the plastic and metal panels in the vehicle. QUOTE(ckmoy007 @ Jun 8 2008, 11:34 PM) ya rite... sorry to confuse 'noobs' ya... I'm far too noob to give any statement. so pls forgive me, driftmeister. Have a nice day and try to enlighten us noob, master. dont get down bro...i know u r guud..  |

every HU produces different quality, and HU does affect SQ a lot... Can't compare Kenwood and pioneer juz like dat. But i think mid end Kenwood and pioneer almost the same, but pioneer sure leads the hi end.
