Well, I don't know how promac gotten itself into car audio but replace it with a Pioneer/Alpine basic head unit and slap on some aftermarket speakers is a good start.

Hi mga sir, tanong ko lang kasi may sub ako na pang under seat. May build in amp na pero pag nakataas ang volume, basag na ang tunog. Pwede ko bang lagyan ng separate na amp para maging buo ang tunog ng sub. Adventure po ang rides ko.

Need a referral to a shop in banawe that can properly tune the set-up of my ride. Current set up of my montero

Stock head unit with RCA out for 4 channels plus sub
JBL MS 8
JL audio 6 channel amplifier
DLS reference speakers front separates and rear co-ax
Pioneer center speaker
Kicker monosub 12inch

Note: center speaker connected directly to the MS8

Having difficulty getting the right sound. Appreciate the referral , thanks in advance

Your best bet is to search at KAC's ICE section for references and price them similarly. I'm not too sure if that's of a downgrade, in my opinion, seems like a same-level "refresh". If the gears are still working fine, I suggest you still use them.

No. Self-powered subwoofers have their own internal amplifiers that moves them.

Uh oh. Well.. the thing with the MS8 is that it isn't really as plug-and-play as it looks to be. However, its auto-tune function is incredible - it really saves time needed to get at least 80% of your tuning potential.

There is no shop in Banawe that can tune your MS8.

For that, you will have to go for the bigger ones like JC Car Audio in San Juan, Musico Mobile Audio in Paranaque, and Mickeys in Pasig.

There are really just two tips I can give to you:
1. Make sure wirings are all correct and of correct polarity.
- The MS8 setup is pretty straightforward - you just need the correct installation you won't screw it up.

2. Do the tuning dead at night - no noise should be heard when the sweeps are in progress.

Again, contact me. Truthfully, I've only heard two JBL MS8 setups that sounded correctly.

Thanks for the tips. Managed to sneak a few moments from the office and did a re-calibration of the system at the basement parking. Got the 80% potential of the unit and will fine tune at home this weekend.

Hi mga sirs, firstoff, andami kong natutunan dito sa forums, maraming salamat mga sirs! I have a vios 2013 with ryan audio setups (seps, p604 amps, subs) and I'd like to upgrade my HU. Based on previous posts maganda daw yung pioneer (avh-x2650bt) (about 12-14.5k according to some sellers and olx);

Question lang sirs, mayroon ba na shop na nagbebenta na BDO 0% installment?

TIA!

Pwede po bang ma-acchieve yung sound set up na para kang nakikinig sa I-phone or ipad? yung buong buo ang tunog and tamang tama lang ang base.
Ang stock unit ko is AVT and sa mga nabasa ko, kailangan palitan yung HU to get a nice sound set up.
Ang worry ko lang is mawawala yung built-in GPS ko which I really enjoy.
Ano po bang HU ang available na hindi masyadong mahal and me built-in GPS and at the same time will give you a good sound output like Pioneer.
