I saw in Lazada for some as low as P5k. I don't really need the expensive high end ones. Just need one that can be used for reverse camera, & bluetooth & steering wheel controls as well.

Anyone here tried any of them in Lazada? Or any other cheap recommendation? Thanks!

Back read ka sir, may naginstall isang member "joy" ang brand mukhang happy sya.

Para lang sa akin ung after service ang problema pano kung magloko touch screen yan kadalasan problem ng generic even sa phone. In the end palit ka uli doble gastos. Maymura na pioneer model dvh 185 nsa 9k last month bka masmura ngayon and 1500 back camera

Meron sir na murang touchscreen LCD. Nakamichi yung brand, parang nasa 8.5k lang. Although it won't have the extensive tuning features of Pioneer, I think, if basic lang naman plus screen for a reverse cam ang kailangan, it will do the job.

Thank you for your inputs sirs. Yes, its for my wife's Innova, & she doesn't need all the bells & whistles of a high end/ high tech touchscreen. Just need it for reverse cam, steering wheel control, bluetooth, & fm radio.

So, the ones in Lazada that are in the P6k price range aren't ok? Or how about maybe a second hand Toyota touch screen from higher models of Innova, Fortuner, etc? At least sure na may steering wheel control siya since it also came from a Toyota?

If you'd like to use the steering wheel controls. I'd suggest then to get Pioneer instead. It has this learning capability to adapt to stock steering wheel controls as long as they aren't battery operated like the ones found in Mitsubishi.

Am thinking of getting a small budget friendly active subwoofer. ano ba ang ok mga bro?

Re: Two 8" versus 10"

If your intent is to fill out a City's cabin, even just a single 8" would do the job. You're not into gapang naman (and even if you are, it'll still be enough for the average listener). But to be safe, I'll suggest a single 10".

While two 8" would be theoretically be better, a single 10" would be better for your wallet

Re: Active Subwoofer

Actually if you want the best active for the money..

1. Know your budget
2. Check out the "products"
3. Pick the "product" with the biggest cone size/space taken.

Speaker performance is highly dependent on enclosure size. That's why (in general) the bigger it is, the better it is. Now you just need to find a product that fits into your space requirements.

^ thanks for the tip bos

i'm not wanting to shatter any windows naman but i just want to add a little oomph to the car's sound system (non-stock na siya bale) . so i'm guessing i might settle for an underseat active sub because i don't want to sacrifice the trunk space of our fd. any brand (that's not too painful on the wallet) anyone can recommend mga bro?

Sadly, I'm not that privy to the prices and brands of underseat subs nowadays.
