hi am a newbie here icon_rolleyes.gif

...have been slowly upgrading my Vios (at least I thought I was) ....

current specs:
clarion HU (1din)
front speakers: Memphis Component MC speakers
rear speakers: Factory (original speakers)
sub: Planet audio
Amp: Taiwan-made amp 2-ch (purely budget decision)

As you can see, very entry/budget level but hope some new additions can boost performance so....wud really appreciate any suggestions eg amp, rear speakers and tweeters.

cheers!

Tks for the suggestion. wondering now whether shd change the 2-ch amp to a better 4-ch amp...any suggestions for a reasonably priced amp below 1K? Was considering Orion speakers for the rear for RM300. Is that too expensive? Cheers.

If you planning to get SW, don't get rear speaker. Save the money for a better amp for the front.

Here's hoping the amp for front will do the trick...cheers mate!

Just wanted to update on how I upgraded my ICE...

I went back to the shop that I bought the Clarion HU and they had a second hand (2004) Magnat Traxx 2 ch originally RM1k-2K for RM500 which he said was better than the Magnat Bull Power so I jumped at it. Then on his recommendation, Impact car audio tweeters -NT230 for RM600. Also recommended better cables...so how did it sound...? Fantastic! I was blown away! thumbup.gif

I must say even tho I hadnt heard of Impact (Italy) before but them tweeters are incredible. The upgrades cost me RM1,550 and tho its over my initial budget I don't regret it....I just love being in my car biggrin.gif
