what does "thin" means...?

another term that audiophile may use is dry, or very solid state sounding, lack of colouration, dull, etc

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.
*
look into alpine or pioneer when it comes to HU

Damn, then what is your suggestion? anything below RM 400 that is decent, and durable.
*
bro, cheap + decent and durable is hard to come by together

if you've read around, rm400 only gets you a component set, and more often than not its not even enough for reputable brands (such as the brand names you listed above, as in names only and not the fake links/unethical mudah seller that is linked) and/or including installation/tuning

Damn again, this feels like being hit by a car. shocking.gif Your best solution?
*
you save up more money, buy something worth buying.

of course, if you just want a simple upgrade, or maybe just listen to radio, or just hand itchy and want to throw away some chump change (probably not the best way to describe it if anything), then yea, you may proceed with cap ayam/fakes. they exist in the market because of demand anyways smile.gif

Can you give some example of a brand and the price? my friend said I just need a component set that has 6" speaker, tweeter and crossover. Anything between the entry level and High quality?
*
save up rm600-1k, and look for reputable brands. (i believe if you do a simple search around, you'll see the typical "lists" answered by regular sifu like zenn time to time.

Morning all sifu..i wan to ask if compare brand nakamichi better or mohawk better..?i mean as in SQ.. Is nakamichi brand better then mohawk..?
*
comparing the 2, probably nakamichi. though i cant say for sure as i have not personally experienced them. mohawk on the other hand, they are just associated too much with SPL and i personally wouldn't associate them anywhere near SQ. only reason id side with nakamichi.

on a more personal level, neither of them.

can you guys recommend me some brand? budget around 800.

Currently I'm looking on

Trans (believed to be under Ameron) Package which includes

1 set 6.5' component
4 chn amp
12' sub + enclosure.

I'm planning to get another 6.5' comp set without amp (coz now i alr have one 4 chn amp) to fit into my rear. 800 ada cukup? if there are better brand and around same price then i might just drop this off.
*
imho rm800 is only good enough for a component set. decent/good amp + sub would require some 2k or so. more if you want to sound proof your door panels for the component set's mid bass mounted there.

Which entry level boston acoustics components are decent? Have not checked out ICE for ages. Any sifus can recommend components similar to the DLS MS6 in terms of sound quality or close, as I used that previously in my old car.
*
im on the S60 and they sound pretty decent for their price. perhaps you may opt to go higher range models as your budget permits? i've never heard of the higher range bostons and DLS though sad.gif

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..

then go audition setups at shops and/or attend TT.

i dont think there really is much point to further discuss on brands/models when you're wanting so much (want cheap but dont want pay. as the saying goes: cheap things no good, good things no cheap)

Huh? I dont see the point of your comments here. I believe i did not mention cheap anywhere.
*
my point being that we can recommend a billion reputable brand/models to you, entry level or not, however if aren't one to take the leap of faith and want to audition for yourself prior to committing, do you think it serve a purpose in us continuing to recommend to you?

I believe i have not made any assertation that I would not take 'the leap of faith' anywhere. I believe that is just your personal conclusion.
If you would read carefully enough, you would see my last comment is to go and audition the systems.
*
i click on this: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=Sear...sult_type=posts

then press ctrl + f

then type in "audition" keyword

3 results found and 2 are quoted from me, and 1 is highlighted above as bold

i even went out of my way to type in "listen" as the keyword.

NOPE CHUCK TESTA

jokes aside, on a more serious note:
how about you pick some shops (i believe we've recommended? else we can recommend them again if you still have doubts) or a shop nearest/convenient to you, then go audition some setups/brands/models etc, then feedback to us and/or discuss/further inquiry based on your new found experience?

it will save both your's/ours time greatly i can assure you smile.gif

i don't see the reason why u made the above instructions relevant.
on a side note, i don't joke with people with sarcasm. if u want to joke, i can joke with u if ur genuine.
i believe i have made my point that i am going to audition at my last comment. Not sure what prompt u to make the conclusion that i will not.

if you can't get it, that's fine too. its of nothing important.

but yeah, go audition then, plain simple smile.gif
