Finally, the SIFU has spoken....muahahahaha....

2k is an decent budget for basic entry level ICE setup. It depends on your favored setup. Like do you want to play single amp first for comps & subs and then upgrade to 2 amps and etc.

For starters why don't you upgrade your H/U to an average range H/U first with atleast Front & Rear/Sub Pre-Outs.

Yeh, DEH-5050UB sounds decent. So you've got the H/U sorted out...now look into getting some decent amps. Neither Sony nor Pioneer is my cup of tea except if the Sony amp is of the ol' skool editions (...those that were made in Japan)...otherwise I would stay away from these amps....

Its already out mate....

Not sure on availability in Malaysia but I've seen em' on the racks at Singapore....

Mark Levinson....Yummy

There's an vast range of brands that you can look at mate. It depends on which suits your hearing...

You need to 1st decide whether you want to have an component setup for your fronts or just an normal coaxial setup. If you're going for an 2-Way component setup - choose wisely on which would suit your hearing & the kind of music you hear. Go for the reputable brands and ensure you compliment your setup with decent wirings & above average installation.

Not all ICE stuffs SOLD in shops are good and certain shops will tend to push on a certain brand that they carry. If you don't want to invest on new unknown stuffs then there's always very good used items on sale here on the forums. Sometimes, these uses stuffs are far more superior in terms of quality & sound reproductivity as compared to the ever flooding of unknown brands.

For starters, get an decent H/U to start off with. Since you're looking for one with an USB & specifically Pioneer - maybe you should try having a look at the Pioneer 6350. Its specs seems very decent and it serves the purpose of having an entry level SQ H/U

2 way component set is speakers with the tweeter & mid separate and it comes with an external passive crossover.

...more like Udang brand lor...hehehe

Yup, its an GERMAN brand but currently its manufactured either in Malaysia or Tunisia.

Which model of the Amplifier & Speakers are you getting?

Bro, its hard to just say which is better. Your ears have to tell which suits you best.

Its Made in PRC. Not bad for an very very entry level setup...but of course if you're smart & patient enough you can get the similar setup with reputable 'Used' brands...keyword is you need to do a lot of scouting...

Diamond Audio D912 + Diamond Audi D6 1000.1 Monoblock

RM1500 + RM1500 + FOC Custom Made 1.4 cu.ft Fully Sealed 1" MDF Enclosure.....

No worries....

What comment you want? Its definitely not Made in America

in between 'Stay Away' & 'Entry Level'

if memory serves me right - American Sound is an extension of the now defunct American Bass ol' skool brand.
