audio set-up for beginners [continued]

[mouse25]

Mga sir,

Tanung lang po. Anu po ba magandang sound set up sa corolla ku po? Nakabili na po ako ng Sub na JBL GT5 S12. Nasa L shaped ported box na din po tapos po yung amp niya is yung 2500 max na 4/3/2 channel na V12. Bumili pa po kaya ako ng GT5 S12 para dual sub or wag na? Patulong naman po sa HU at sa mga abubot na kailanga pa. Pang bayo po sana mga sir. Thanks! Tska magkano po ba yung paporma nung sounds sa trunk ng auto? Tanung ku na din po kung san niyo recommend magpagawa at bumili.


Note: Student lang po ako. Kaya kung pwede po sana budget meal Thanks!

Pag bumili ka ng isa pang sub, di mo na magagamit ang dati mong box kase mawawala na sa design, mas maganda kung i mamaximize mo yang nandyan na at focus on a good head unit muna, then pag wala ka pa nung seps para sa harap, sunod mo na rin. For spl system, you have to get a good amp(mono amp) for these, pwede nga yung 2 sub na gt5 s12 in a good tuned box like 38hz for spl, then surely, at least 800watts * 2 ohms monoblock if your sub is jbls12 single 4 ohms, unlike V-12 amps kase, mono or class D amp are better driving subs, tipid sa kuryente at mas solid yung bass, pure kase na bass lang ang lalabas sa subs mo.
Head unit, beter hanap ka ng at least 4volts 3 rca pre outs like yung bago ngayun na pioneer 6350, or, pwede din yung iba na 2 volts lang na may rca out, then gamit ka na lang ng active crossover, sure budget dyan around 30k minimum kasama na yung woodworks sa trunk, necessary wirings, electrical upgrade, cables, amplifiers etc, because, you want spl, he he, big three upgrade and a 2 farad capacitor for sure, maybe ad it to your budget, if you stay on your current set up, pwede rin yan, palitan mo na lang yang v-12 mo ng mono amp at least 300watts rms * 4 ohms para sa sub at gamitin mo na lang yang amp sa front and rear speakers, head unit syempre kung wala ka pa..
Recommended shop, ehem, kung around taguig ka lang dito na lang sa shop namin sa taguig, if not, marami nababanggit na car audio shop dito sa forum e, better ask first na lang muna for prices baka madugo, err,

I just want to ask the experts if it's true that you need to turn down the volume of your I.C.E. before you turn off the radio to prevent damage when you turn the radio on again.

Never heard of this hocus-pocus. So it's false.

Salamat sa reply sir! Anu po ba mas magandang HU, Pioneer or Alpine? Yung sub ku po kasi ngayon is 1200 watts, anu mono amp po kailangan dun? Di ko po gets. Sorry newbie. Salamat po!

[tsikotshop]

the best head unit sir is what fit your budget there, if you can go with alpine, were go ahead, it was the best for car audio like the alpine 9887, it's unique ability is the 24bit DAC, digital to analog converter which means from your song converted to mp3 format sound, if you play it to that kind of head unit, it will play like a cd format file or nearly to flack or wav file.. about naman po dun sa sub nyo, the rating 1200watts is its rated peak power, so just ignore these numbers, actually it's just around 300watts rms. Mono amp(like class D amplifiers) po is a single channel amp that only produce low pass frequency, good to a known subwoofer like you have and very efficient in power source, marami na ngayun ng ganung klasing amp na mura lang like our new lightning lab amp rated 600watts * 1ohm stable for around 5k in prices, your existing amplifier is a 4 channel amp normally in class ab switching, so limited on filtering such low frequency, sorry, but V-12 amps always isn't good in that way, it's rated power you said 2500 watts max is its peak combined power, mostly, they are around 80watts rms by 4 * 4 ohms, their just producing more on flat frequency responces and power so you need a good head unit or a crossover to do the work in fine tuning your system.

Mouse, saw your exact post in KAC pero dito nalang ako mareply.

First thing is that "porma" is normally expensive. I always advice those who venture into car audio to not underestimate how much this hobby drains our wallets.. literally. Masmabilis talaga if you provide us with complete details rather than us making guesses on what your equipment is. ALWAYS indicate a budget

First thing is to get a proper headunit. Pioneer/Alpine, ikaw na bahala dyan. Both are good brands and you can't really go wrong with either of them. Personally, I like Alpine's 117 and 9887 (around 13k) for its tuning flexibility. Anything else and I stick with Pioneer (especially their yummy P99RS.. pero nasa pangarap ko lang yun)

iandvro in KAC was suggesting to deaden the doors. Deadening is to help reduce panel resonance.. in short, better sound from the speaker. But it's expensive for its "additional" benefits. Best leave it out on a budget setup and use the money on a better sounding front separates instead.

There's no such thing as a "mura" setup. You typically get what you payed for. Most Banawe installers offer sound packages that include free installation and "tuning" (I won't hope much from them though) so be sure to take advantage of that. I can't give you recommendations on what to purchase... these info is just a search away. So next time, use the search button.

Also, as tsikotshops says, stop using V12s. Mabilis lang sila masira so in the long run, you're spending more. In this case, I'll take a good amp over 5 cheapo amps.

Alpine was actually selling the 9887 at 12k during the Trans Sport Show in SMX :D

[tsikotshop]

wew, i don't hear they sale it for that price, I have say it to my master jedi and surely he being shock too ha ha, so at is, thanks for the info sir jhnkvn.

[userfriendly]

Wow 9887 for 12K sayang hindi ako nakapunta sa smx

[jhnkvn]

The actual price was around 12.7k I believe. Pretty sure I didn't misread that it's the 9887 >_>

Sir,

Salamat sa reply. Ang mahal ng alpine ) Baka yung Pioneer nalang kukunin ko yung bago na sinasabi mo 6.1k ata yun, sulit ba yun? Salamat! Nakita ko sa testfreaks yung alpine 9887 they're selling it at around $53, 6.6 rating nila eto po yung site.
