between this 3 range, Boston S60, Orion Cobalt & Helix Blue, which one would be a better deal for an average SQ player?

What is average SQ player?

...I think state your budget would be easier for recommendation.

But if your avg SQ player is like what I think it is, choose none of it. Go for something higher spec...~

I neeed some sifu help here, my bro recently install a Pegasus Subwoofer in my dad's car, previously he use an amplifier which is not Pegasus to connect ( do not know what is the correct term ) to the woofer. The subwoofer coil spring got burn, the people that install say the amplifier is not strong enough to coup with Pegasus woofer. After that, my bro change to another brand of Amp( recommend by the installer, said this is strong enough) with a new subwoofer ( still pegasus, claim back). Starting was ok, 1 to 2 months, same problem occur, the installer gv the same reason again.

Question: How do i know which amp suits which woofer or vise versa?
2nd Question: Will a low power/watt( weak) Amp causes the subwoofer to burn?

Please help...scared kena conned

If the same thing happened again and again, yet it is with the installer recommendation....

The least, he is not making the correct recommendation... whether he is inexperience or trying to con you, that one you'll need to find out yourself.

i have S60, its ok for the price you pay, and thats about it. if you search around the forums, for my thread, or within the recommendation thread, i got did some answering/very simple review on the S60.

That's why I said, don't criticize my car... now we no more friend lor ... tongue.gif

You started with a budget, which is just nice for entry level...

But now after so many TT, basically you have upgraded your knowledge to know what you want.

You know what sub to go for, and what setup to choose from.

...but you still plan for a car and no budget for upgrade.

Your setup memang entry level. But what you want to do next, is not.




P.S: Just bear with the fact that you are not my avg SQ player~ laugh.gif

My friend who own a BLM, recently changed a HU. Totally different output already... bass also stronger. It shows that BLM HU really cap ayam... laugh.gif
The HU changed was Pioneer 3XXX series.

Maybe you want to try that first and see if you are satisfy with it.

i tink not pecah,but d sound produce is pecah.not satisfied with it.any idea to have a good interior sound. wanna enjoy interior only dun wan outside oso can hear but inside is like a disco or in other word superb sound and music coming from every direction.budget is around1.2k.
*
Most of the time, to not let outside ppl hear what you have inside... You might need to do some soundproof. But of course, your sound might leak thru the windows also.

The effect you want might need a proper setup, anyway to start with 1.2k speaker... you can get some decent speakers already.

Helix, German Maestro, Focal dan lain-lain...

a proper set up means? what components i nid to get satisfaction in ur opinion? plan to get pioneer headunit with maestro components speakers for front and rear.izit a good combination?

Why don't you try to do step by step? Because I know BLM HU memang teruk, try to change HU first then see la if the sound is ok for you.

Or if you want it your way, HU+GM Front+GM rear = not possible with your budget.

A proper setup means, 1 comp set+amp+better than stock HU+subwoofer.

Actually I just want to set your expectation right, because you want DISCO feel ma...

Anyway, try and ask around for German Maestro. I audit it before... very nice. Or wait for others to reco something else.

nope.

if you want competition level component sets, think 2-3k minimum, if not more. that is not even including a good amp to drive them.

... And also the rest of the setup, to match the speakers. HU, woofer, positioning....etc

i bought a car which comes with the audio. It has DLS 2 channel amp, pro kicker 2 channel amp, crossover i think , the one where u can adjust the bass volume.dont even know what that does. i have woofer in the boot too.Headunit is Pioneer dvd 2 din player. what i need now is a good pair of speakers so i can listen to margeret whiting - time after time kinda songs.good  Sound quality and clarity at medium high volume.

i have a budget of rm 600-700 for a good pair.someone suggested Focal Polyglass 165V2 Comp Set. i wonder if thats the best i can get for my budget.

After reading a few post here, i realised this is all very technical.used to have audio shop owners saying , this one good, more power. thats it. lol. now we have everything here, people who really know what they re talking bout. kudos man.
Thank you sifus

Polyglass V2 for RM600~RM700. If used then can. If brand new, then most likely fake or water set.

For your budget, most probably branded entry level set only, unless you go for used items.

i saw in low yat forum polyglass v2 selling for rm 600 wor. The only condition is that he keeps the warranty card and if anything have to go through him. How do we differenciate if its a fake or original. I thought water set means its the same product but different company warranty right? but is it still the same product ? i m confused.
*
Huh? Why he get to keep the warranty card? You pay with money right?
...or installment plan for RM600? laugh.gif

If you are talking about Focal, only 1 Co. distribute it. The rest might be self-importer or fake.

Fake Focal for example, you can see the stamp as : www.focal-rf.com.

is it because the seller able to buy focal speakers without warranty for cheap and he uses his own warranty ways and gamble that hopefully people wont return the speakers to him during the 1 year lifespan ? Its actually a safe gamble because speakers normally wont spoil in 1 years time.?

I cant answer your questions and i cant direct these kinda questions to him. I m in dillema la bro. help

Yes, speakers seldom spoil unless you really blast kao kao... But there is always 1% out of 100%.

Anyway, best of luck. smile.gif

Ok..general question...is mcintosh the best brand? I did drop in many shop..many say good and may say they dont sell..if good why dont sell?

I wouldn't agree on the word best brand. It would be personal preference.

But McIntosh is nice, sound is indeed very very nice.

When it comes to selling in shop, it is all about business.

Ok...lets not see the pricing or else it will steer away the interest. So how we rate this mcintosh...since its not the best but sounds very good, looks like a very difficult piece of equipment. Will Nakamichi or Clarion D3 be better than Mcintosh..sorry I cant find them in youtube, so have to ask here.
*
Bro, I don't believe there is such thing as the best... sound is kind of subjective ler.....

Naka is not bad, very clear too, seriously clear. But I would say less a bit of power compare to McIntosh.

No idea on Clarion. No one want to let me audit.

But you cannot purely depend on one component to get what you want, overall setup is still very important.

smile.gif

No idea where got McIntosh ah? Ask carcrazy.

sifus, what is the best head unit to get?

im planning to build up my ICE from time to time.
for now, getting the head unit, then mid speakers. farming some money again, buy other stuffs. surely i cant buy them all lump sump. its juz like playing dota, buy piece per piece then combine..of coz need to get the crucial parts 1st. so im starting with head unit. any ideas?

*music im into - rock music, dance music, i love to hear clear voice projection from the singer, together with the beat/bass sound. budget not so  much, around 2-3k for head unit with mid speakers.subwoofer, dependable.i may fork out more than 1k, but if got subs that less than 1k,that wud b awesome.im rolling in wira, rear mid speaker and front door mid speakers. amps is on another budget than that head unit.so some1 can suggest me amps too.
*
There should not be a "Best HU". Because definition wise, we will have a war.

Choose one that suit your budget.

May I suggest, the new and arriving Pioneer P80-PRS.

For SQ, Naka will perform better than Mohawk.

For SPL, Mohawk will perform better than Naka.

Naka brand better than Mohawk? Better in what term?
Naka is international brand, Mohawk is local brand.

i actually emphasize more on SQ & will be a bonus for me to get a bargain system that suites my taste..u know la many places nowadays pushes products that offer them highest margin only...that is why i want to mix & match myself to hear which sets suites my ear better..

Yes, no doubt many place do practice those tactics.

But the choice is still on your hand, right?

If they recommend something that you think is more inferior to the setup that you preferred, which is cheaper. You will always have the final say to go for it, or just walk to another shop.

Suggest you go and listen to some/any brand first... and share you feedback.

If you need a place to go, just share a place that is most convenient to you.
