audio set-up for beginners [continued]

[jhnkvn]

Sa lahat na napakingan ko na kotse, you can't have one system do two things: both SQ and LnC. You can do two in a car.. but they will remain as separate systems.

Before you throw money, alamin mo muna kung ano gusto mo'ng systema. Because yun pinaka-nakakainis is getting a setup that you'll only be disappointed with since it did not meet your expectations. There will be three categories: SQ, LnC, SPL. Most popular is Loud and Clear... in fact, 80% of all sound setups in Banawe is probably LnC types.

SQ is often misunderstood. Most people define it as "yun crystal clear sounds" pero sa totoo lang, tonality (how it sounds) is just one aspect of SQ. I will probably say amongst the three... achieving SQ will be the most expensive route. Ito kasi.. lahat mahal. Speakers mo mahal.. tuning mo mahal.. amplifiers mo mahal... mga ibang masmayaman bumibili pa ng Php20,000 each worth of RCA wires when we talk about budget, 60k is probably the minimum recommended setup cost of a true SQ system.

Second most expensive will probably be SPL. Gastos mo dito will be in your subwoofer, amplifier, your box cost, batteries, and probably a dual alternator setup. Once fully formed, you can crack glass given enough output.

The cheapest route will probably be LnC. Because it's jack-of-all trades but master-of-none and this makes them very popular. Lahat ng ideas mo of car audio is probably formed by LnC setups.

Kung nagtataka ka kung bakit bawal ang dalawa, I can't fault you. Dati inisip ko rin yan. But if you've listen to a true SQ car and a true LnC car, you'll come to understand why you can't have the best of both worlds in one system. I've heard two systems in a car (SQ and LnC/ESQL) but I've never heard a car that has both worlds in one system.

Pagbalik mo sa Philippines, easiest way to try to get an audition is to attend monthly KAC EBs. Totoo lang, I don't usually go since tamad ako pumunta ng Ortigas. But for many newbies, doon ang initiation rites nila sa car audio since car audio enthusiasts meet there and you can audition many types of systems.

LnC: Dapat pasok sa 40,000php ang Cadence setup. They're not expensive naman.. but they're a step up from Lightning Lab setups in terms of quality and cost. The Cadence speakers' we're talking about is their CVLT lineup.

For the amplifier, this will all depend on your budget. If you're on LnC, amplifier selection isn't a pain in the ass naman. Just buy from a reputable source and go look for the biggest wattage you can find.

Another thing is that there's no such thing as "SQ" amplifiers or "LnC" amplifiers. Pagpumasok ka sa home audio at nagtanong niyan, papagtawanan ka. Amplifiers won't care about their "SQ-ness".. isa lang ginagawa nila -- amplifying the original signal.

Subwoofers is one thing you'll invest in. Don't buy expensive subwoofers -- buy cheap and many. Pero before you choose subwoofers, ask how much space are you willing to give up. Willing to give up your entire trunk? Nice. No LnC setup will be "space-saving".. lahat ng LnC may malaking box.. mga iba walang box (free-air) pero most will have a box. A damn large box = efficiency = louder performance. Kung wala ka pamilya and you typically seat two persons in the car, pagisipan mo i-sacrifice 2nd row seats mo for a "wall" ;)

How about sir if jbl products? Nabasa q bias ka sa jbl, hehe. And i think ur one of the trusted gurus nman regarding sound setup? For my budget sir para sa e46 q. If magstraight jbl aq? What models of jbl should i be looking for? Seps, amp, subs. Do i need mono amp ba sir? May sound difference ba if mono or if i-bridged lng sa 4 channel amp.

Dame pa umiikot sa isip q, bdw sir im planning to set the car this coming april pag-uwi q manila... Salamat sir sa advised and inputs mo

JBL doesn't make the best systems.. but they make very good systems based on research tapos may trickle-down effect nalang papunta sa budget lineup nila. Totoo lang, I learned to love them over time since madami sila talaga contributions to the audio world.

For budget setups, gusto ko sila since di sila mahal. Bang per buck kamo. But I'm especially biased on them sa dalawang categories: subwoofers and amplifiers. For speakers.. depending on budget, masgusto ko yun talagang kilala sa Hi-Fi.. like Focal JMLab which is French. May pagka-astig din pagsinasabi mo na "galing France speakers ko"

I don't usually recommend for people because di ako updated sa pricing ng mga producto. Tandaan.. hobbist ako.. hindi installer hahaha..

What I recommend is that you choose an installer then consult with him kung ano gusto mo gawin sa setup mo given a budget. Once meron ka na idea on what products these are -- you can then ask me on my second opinion on them.

May sound difference ba pagmono and bridged? Sa totoo, yes. Pero most people won't notice it. Pinakamalaking advantage ng mono amplifier is load stability and power. Since kaya ng mono amplifier magbigay ng masmadaming power, your subwoofer benefits from this too.

But given let's say background listening.. bah.. kahit magbridge ka ng two channels wala ka parin mapapansin difference in terms of quality of sound. But when you begin cranking things up and begin needing more power, doon mo ma-appreciate si mono amplifier.

interesting, the URL ampleaudio.com points to EXONIC Mobile Entertainment.
