audio set-up for beginners [continued]

Wow bro, from Pioneer 8750BT to Joying. That is saying something. No noticeable difference in sound quality, tama ba?

Yep. But im only using stock speakers.

For me the SQ and punch is good. Bass is good. I dont have any subwoofer or amps. The headunit is providing the amplification.

I could go crazy and blow some money on amps and speakers. But the sound is good enough for now. Lets see if the sound bug bites me in the future. Till then i am very satisfied.

Are underseat subs good enough? My sealed sub is so large that it takes up a seat at the third row. I'm looking at the NBN-V12 generics at around 3-4k or so

To answer some concerns:

1. The Pioneer 8XXXBT only shines when you use its audiophile features such as crossovers, EQs, and most importantly time alignment. Other than that and it's numerous pre-outs, it functions much like a regular head unit.

2. While many installers claim that a certain head unit brand sounds better than the rival headunit brand; I'm on the camp that ignores them because those are minute differences. Sure, they sound different because their internal circuitry is different. But claiming that it's light and day is something I don't understand. As long as its output is rather flat, its flavor is flat.

3. Underseat subwoofers are good enough to regular people. But if you're the type of person to rock out Lil' Jon, I don't think it's enough.

Can anyone recommend a decent set of 6.5" speakers under 10k for the FD Civic?

Bumigay both yung stock front speakers ko and I might as well upgrade. If walang point in upgrading with everything else stock, should I just get the cheapest Pioneers or JBLs I can find nalang?

Will be using the stock HU.

pioneer & jbl are fine. but with your budget range, i'll check this out if it would fit with the OEM mount: Focal PC 165, car audio coaxial hifi speakers to customize your car sound system.
dagdag na lang ng konti sa 10k. check it out at Mickey's audio.

btw, ano ba ang stock HU ng kotse mo bro?

Meron akong speaker mount as long as 6.5" yung speakers.

Head unit don't know what it is. Integrated OEM head unit eh.

that would be fine then, it's a 6.5" speaker.
most HU's built-in amp nowadays have 45~50w rms power output kaya ok na iyan.

Thanks sir.

I am considering this (which I have read reviews of that say this is one of the best budget speakers) vs the Infinity Kappa 62.11i that is offered to me by Roadstar at around 6500.

Called up said store kasi bukas sila on Sundays. Unfortunately I cannot visit stores between Monday to Saturdays due to work.
