sa ngayon ayaw ko kasing baguhin yung stock headunit ng innova g, andon naman yung mga audio conrols na need ko plus yung GPS and steering controls meron na...

meron naman nako sub and ampli, waiting lang po ako sa MDF board para magawa ko na yung box...

next will be the 4 doors doors deadened... and last nalang yung head unit...

sounds a good plan. ok naman na mga stock hu nowadays, what matters ay connectivity especially sa music streamers at mga navigation apps. i tnink you are leaning more sa SPL category kaya subwoofer agad ang target mo.

sounds like a good plan.

iirc, nasa 50W x 4ch usually ang mga headunits. kaya naman i drive kahit mga aftermarket speakers at good listening volume levels.

Interesting that most of the recommendations for entry level setups focus on upgrading HU and speakers instead of adding a sub and amp.

When I upgraded the CRV's audio system, I kept the head unit (lots of features integrated into it) and then added an amp, front/rear seps, front tweeters, and an underseat sub.

Among all of these, it was actually the amp and sub that improved the quality the most. With the sub off, the music lacks depth. Without the amp's DSP, the soundstage is vastly different.

Thinking of upgrading the Civic's sound system also but not sure where to start and what's truly necessary.

sub kasi compliments the mids and highs
maski sa home theater and, iba parin effect kahit not so expensive speakers pero maganda integration ng subs malaki tulong
only difference i noticed, mas madali ayusin ang room acoustics vs car

So why then is the reco always to start with seps instead of sub?

if you just add a sub to the stock sound system malaki na improvement

madalas kasi bro, pag nag palit na ng speakers (maski front speakers lang), malaki na difference vs. stock
tapos mas sturdy material ng mga non stock speakers, so kaya nila woofer frequencies na. which is more than enough na sa typical user (yun iba kasi basta di basag ang tunog satisfied na sila)
btw yun iba naman kaya inuuna HU upgrade, pwede kasi nila mapaganda tunog stock speakers dahil sa tune options sa upgraded HU
