Hi guys , i plan to install ice setup in my car , i usually listen to metal / rock / r&b song , when i higher my volume, the bass is bad..
my budget is around 1k include subwoofer , amplifier and speaker.. thanks =)

and also recommend me place to install too .. around Penang thanks

1k for those 3? bro..i suggest you save a little more then only buy. A normal okok subwoofer..12" would be around 500 including box...and let's say you take a 4 channel amp...that would be another 500. So your 1k gone liao..lol

RM 1000 i doubt insufficient.

Component Speaker like Soundstream Picasso PCC6 RM 350.00 which handle well on SQL and SPL.

Amplifier such as Soundstream Xstream XTA 480W 4channel RM 550.00 1/2 channel for component speaker while 3/4 channel bridged to subwoofer

Subwoofer like SOundstream Picasso Limited Edition PW-10L 10" rm 400.00

Don't forget the cabling and wood panel installation (if necessary)

it can be done under 1k

ayam brand HU - RM250
ayam brand 4ch amp - RM200
ayam brand component - RM150
ayam brand woofer + box - RM200
wiring + installation - RM150

but then u will not get any satisfaction and wasted your 1k

i suggest u save a little more then only decide.

or you can spend the 1k to get a reasonable component first

spend that 1k on a 4 channel amp and a component first.. then later only add subwoofer. which part of pg ru in?

i stay in Glugor


Thanks for all the replies .. if 1k is insufficient, then how much would enough ? Below 2.5k is okay for me

you don't have to spend 2.5k at one go. slowly upgrade is the solution for beginner with budget constrains.

* edited * still need more recommendations

dude.... it should be the other way round la........ front component first then only sub.... =_=

agree with u..unless u wtbuy 2nd hand item,if the seller give surprise prc to u, grab it..

hmm mind to explain what is front component ? thanks =)

Yeah..get a front component. Front component means get a component set..6.5" and put it as front speakers for your car. A so-so component set would cost you around 400-500, better ones are around 700-800, depending what you are looking at.

If you have a budget, i would personally suggest getting two amp..instead of one 4 channel amp. Get a 2-channel amp and a monoblock. Like that, there's more power for your sub-woofer later.

bro
dun forget ur HeadUnit ..
it is important.
get ur HU den component spk + amp den oni sub

just a summary of how i upgraded my ice slowly.

1. New HU
2. 2 way components
3. sound proof + rear mid bass
4. amp + tunning
(spending close to 5k)

future upgrade:
monoblock + subs.

me...
bought sub<2nd hand oni..great deal..
hu pioneer..
components...
amp
close to 3k..

TS!

May i know what existing system u are now? I presume you are having a stock system & you feel ur bass is insufficient. I would reckon you just add an amp + a sub. As existing, u try to use ur comp or rear to act as bass sound & it is a risk & most probably u will blow your comps(as u stated u try to high ur volume to achieve thhe bass that u desire). So by adding as i reckon, retune all your front to more treble & set the sub to do the bass job. Hence i believe abt 1k range shud be ok since u are in budget, sub(400) & amp(600)

@ DerekKuah,
i changed my Hu for pioner p6950.. that HU improve a lot than my previous HU which is toyota one ( come with the car ) , but still not satisfied with the song when i higher my volume...

aduh..... no need to show off the price la... ppl asking for opinion la

Base on the type of music you listen to maybe add another $200 will get you an entry-level branded CD player, 6.5" passive front component set, 4-Channel amp & a 12" woofer box at the rear incl labour cost to install & set it up.
