Mga sir need your advice, gusto ko lang po yung "surround" sound sa loob ng oto, anu po kayang sound set up recommended?
Btw my HU is pioneer deh5350ub, di rin po pala ako pede maglagay ng sub sa trunk kasi lagi po may laman sa likod.. TIA mga sir!

Unless you're willing to fork out big bucks, you won't be able to get the true surround sound you're eyeing in movies. For those kasi, you need first is a 2DIN deck that can accept movie files. This will damage you around 20k upwards depending on your taste for head unit features. What's expensive is what comes afterwards: Alpine H701/H800 processor for Dolby Digital Processing (32k), speakers, amplifiers, etc.

How cost prohibitive? I won't recommend going for one unless you have at least 6 digits on your back account.

One of the best implementation of true 5.1 in a car is Stephen's "Karty" Montero (http://tsikot.com/forums/car-audio-v...-set-up-79810/) which is actually internationally awarded. Problem is, the price tag is at 7-digits na

The easier way is the budget way. It isn't really surround sound but it's kinda like your everyday car with front and rear speakers playing. Just replace your front speakers with separates and your rears with either a coaxial or just a midbass then call it a day. Even with your deh5350ub deck, kaya yan.

I will still suggest going for a subwoofer. Since they're dedicated bass machines and iba talaga ang difference with them. You don't need to sacrifice a large space. Kahit a 10" subwoofer on a 1.2cu.ft box is compact enough. How big?? hmm... isipin mo lagi ka meron microwave sa trunk mo.

What would be the best (2-way, 6.5") separates that I can pick to fit a Php10k budget?

Not much brand differentiation sa lower-tiers. It's like buying a laptop for 20,000php. Almost lahat ng internals nila same.. yun brand lang at design and nagpapalit. Same logic goes with speakers.. there's only so much technology you can cram on a budget.

Jeff also sells TEAC at the same category as AKAI. What's better? Just go for the cheaper one and be happy. Same lang yan... TEAC is Japan while AKAI is at Singapore.. but all of them outsources their production either in Taiwan, South Korea, or China then stamps them with their brand and voila.. sellable goods.

Chip in a bit more and you'll start seeing brand differentiation at its works. The best "basic" hovers around 12k actually. This is where brand R&D starts shining like Focal PS165, Morel Tempo 6, DLS R6N, etc.

Below 10,000php, I am a fan of JBL's separates as well as its sister brand, Infinity. Morel's most basic speaker -- the Maximo goes for 8,000php~

Toss up between the Focal and the Polk. I'm a Focal fan myself over the Polk.

thanks for the very straight input... copy yan sir...

i now wanted to dig deeper into my pocket and get me a focal ps165fx.
question is: do i have to get a premium amplifier as well to optimize its potential? or a jbl gto804ez could already do the trick?
