1 shop only...choose wisely... n count all ur needs.. more into jazz? or sumthing like hard-rock?? then quote all ur setup.. thn u get ur music come to ur life..

i'm now really afraid of cheap stuffs. Unless recommended, i wun budge into any unknown shop and waste my couple hundred of bucks for a dissapointing installation, 90% got aeroplane noise one... juz my personal exp.

Used Pioneer P80RS
New PHD FB 6.1Kit pro or Focal Kevlar 165KF or Dynaudio 240GT
New Focal Access 30A1 12" subwoofer
New Focal Power FP4.75 amplifier

These would set you back around RM5800.

or

Used Pioneer P80RS
New Focal Access 165A1 or Diamond Audio 361
New Focal Access 30A1 12" subwoofer
Zapco Reference 360.4

RM4300.

Realistically if RM5k is your budget, the RM4300 system fits the bill better after factoring in good cabling and a proper install that maximizes the performance of your equipment. Spending 5k on the equipment and expecting to spend 300 bucks for install and cabling would be disasterous.

Cheers.

Well not really. I'm a Scanspeak person and I'm running Vifa in my car.

icic...great setup frm u... mine all speakers were infinity...only amp... kole audio..

Omg...almost forgot about this thread haha Thanks for all the feedback! Now hunting for a good place to go and install everything. I heard someone said CV Audio...where is it exactly? I only know that it's around Damansara area

i dont know tht pplace mate...sory..

$5K for ICE nowadays can give you lots of choice & variation to your setup. Go around town to some installers & check their sample istallation prior making the decision. Take note that good branded hardware will not give you the optimum sound if the instaler doesn't know how to tweak it to the maximum.

Damansara Utama (Uptown)

or KF Audio (Aman Suria)

actually if a ur a member of HCOC, i suggest going to CV Audio in Damansara Uptown and look for Uncle Peter. hes one of the old timers for HCOC. thats why i sent my car to him in the first place.

If you have time on your side, go & witness car audio 'Sound-Challenge' which are quite frequent nowadays around town. There are a lot of categories including in-car SQ setup for amatuers within $5K to $10K budget which are worth a listen with the owner's permission, sure these owners will wayang-you their setup after competition is finish & get some honest tips from them which will be more accurate than those you get from shops. Get the interest goin before you dump your hard earn $$ into it to get the best bang for the buck.

Yupe...I've checked quite alot of sample setups from a variety of acc shops. Most of them gave me a pretty good setup for about RM4500. One shop that I'm keen on is located in Sg Besi called Welldone. Recommended by alot of my mates. Then again CV Audio I heard got good reputation also Any of you guys heard of Auto Genesis?

I told you dude....not goin back to KF. Got a pretty bad experience there. Not with Mr Siemen but with some of their workers

I'm not a HCOC member but one of my fren is one of them. awan afuqya...driving the yellow 2 door EK Will it work that way?

Where is this sound challenge thing? Never heard of it....I'm not a big ICE guy thats why I dunno lol

auto genesis? u mean automotive genesis @ south city plaza? u can go there too... i been a satisfied customer. look for howie choo

I think the next one is in Penang mid next month, not too sure about the dates.
