Baka may fix kang alam dito bro?

Ha,ha. Ganito din dapat gagawin nung mga kumag sa Banawe nung nagpapalit ako ng HU. Pilit pa namang inaalis ung HU ko gamit ung screwdriver. Sabi ko na lang, "kuya itigil nyo na lang po, mukhang di nyo naman alam kung paano tanggalin eh. Kinakabahan lang ako sa masisira nyo." Nalaman ko na lang sa Honda nung nagpa maintenance ako na dapat tanggalin ung buong panel sa baba ng aircon switch para maabot ung screw nung HU sa loob/likod.

Although I doubt I can provide a solution, may picture ka dyan?

May underseat powered sub ba na around 2k lang? All I need is to augment my Vios' bass. Nakatodo na kasi sa "EQ" kaya nasasapawan na ang highs.

I called seatmate kanina. Nagtanong ako ng repaint ng dashboard. It costs 8500 daw. Baka lang may alam kayong fix.

Di ba replaceable ang vent panel? That looks bad.

Wala ba sila mga touch-up lang? Then again, that's hard to do as the scratch's pretty deep.

Personally, I'll just leave it as it is. It might piss you off at times but I believe there isn't any cheap "fix" to restore it back to its original state. I'll try to pursue John's advice in the vent panel and hope it's detached from the body (doubtful here too)

I would suggest EQing the treble and mids kung nasasapawan na ang highs. Although my usual suggestion would be to lower the EQ (maxing it out isn't really all that great) and try to make it up by more power (increase the volume knob). Ex. If your usual setting's 10/10 bass, 0/10 mids, 0/10 treble at volume 10. Try to aim for 5/10 bass, 2/10 mids, 4/10 treble and volume 20.

Oh yeah, as for the 2,000php active subwoofers. Hmmm.. meron naman but they're of extremely low quality. I think you can still find some tubular NBN subwoofers at those prices cguro. Lightning Lab's around 4k I think.

Personally, I won't go for them. Instead, I'll try to improve my existing setup via better speakers or better tuning.

Is it legit? Well, that depends where are you installing and buying from.

Most V12 amplifiers are knock-offs. These were popular way back in the early 2000s was because Alpine's MRV amplifiers were selling like hotcakes. Sadly, I will raise red flags here. As much as original Alpine amps are great and still solid, there's WAY MORE fakes out in the market than originals.

From my point, tunutubuan ka. A V12's going roughly >3k, you can easily buy of genuine JBL subs at >3k.
