Planning to upgrade the sound system of a 2014 altis 1.6v... thinking of getting focal seps (access 165 2 way), an amp, sound deadening for the front doors.. thinking of recycling my old boston rally sub, but would be needing a new box.

Have a budget of around 30-35k for phase1.. Could you recommend an amp, and would this sound good using the stock hu...

Toying with changing hu to a pioneer 5650 dvd player but nanghihinayang ako since bago pa yung hu... baka phase 2 na lang

Thinking of getting a jbl 5 chnl amp but installers i called are saying mag 4 way nalang. 3 installers recommended different brands, one yung gladden for 9.6k, another yung rf punch for 12k. The 3rd recommended a mosconi for less than 12k but suggested i get the focal flax 165 for 15k, pero palitan ko daw muna yung hu.

Not familiar with the gladen... any feedback on these?

Am confused... appreciate opinion kung
A. Get the focal flax and pioneer hu 5650 plus sound deadening.. (eventually get the amp plus reuse the sub)
B. Get the focal access plus ??? Amp, sound deadening and reuse thesub... ( and what amp to get)

Appreciate your thoughts. My current ride is a fd with infinity seps, jbl 4 chnl amp (gto na orange) and the boston rally sub in an oversized sealed box.

Tnx

In your case, no need to go for the 5-channel. This is because you already have an existing 4-channel amplifier so just throw in another 4-channel and you're good to go. 8-channels of amplification is more than enough for most people (even hardcore enthusiasts).

Mosconi positions themselves higher than Gladen but essentially same company lang yan. RF products are historically built like tanks and that's the reason why installers recommend them.

I'll go for A if you plan on upgrading in the future and B if you plan on stopping there na.

Hi mga sirs, I will be getting the Vios j 1.3 m/t, I know that this model's audio isn't that good, 2 lang speakers, any suggestions on how can I improve it? Kahit pa unti unti muna... How about kung upgrade ko muna ang speakers?

The first two things you should always do is: (1) change to aftermarket speakers, (2) deaden your front doors. Do these and I'll guarantee you better sound quality off the bat.

Since most of us drive our own cars, upgrade mo muna yun harap and stock muna yun likod.

Hmm.. depends. Usually I'll recommend a head unit change if hindi maganda ang head unit mo. However, most modern head units are well-built naman so my vote will go for a speaker upgrade muna.

Err.. not much familiar sa Binan (hell, taga North ako so expected..) DB Audio is formerly KID Audio. Mixed reviews sila AFAIK since there's good and bad reviews. However, madami nagsasabi they charge a hefty price. I've also heard a couple of reviews of BP-1 Car Accessories.. but I haven't heard reviews on whether it's a plus or negative. Autobisyo near Southwoods, on the otherhand, is considered expensive by many for their work. Hope that helps.

Each has its own advantages. What do you find lacking on your system now? A good installer I know fom the South is Bluprint/Musico from Paranaque.

I am also building my latest project in phases. You can see it at www.kotseaudioclub.com

hi sientobente,

I observed that it sounds better if music is coming from CD but not when im listening music from radio. I meant, parang hindi hindi ginagamet ung ibang speakers or ganun lang ba talaga? muli, salamat.

ay sir, sorry bigla ako na confuse sa advise mo, gusto ko lang I clarify, the vios e (yung sumunod na model ng j) has 4 speakers, di ba mas maganda at malakas ang tunog na apat kesa sa 2 lang? so you mean, ok lang yung 2 sa front at wag ko na dagdagan ng 2 pa gaya ng vios e model? TIA

Ganito po sir, having 4 speakers won't necessarily make it louder. Just imagine speakers as flashlights. 4 na flashlight and it has its own coverage in the cabin. The reason why it won't go louder is because when you crank the volume, distortion will easily come up. Much better pa sir to keep a good front speaker and then use an amplifier to get the loudness and clarity you desire.

Oh if the source is really from an FM radio, it will really turn out bad. Garbage-in, Garbage out principle po. Kahit gaano kaganda yung setup, when I listen to Mo Twister on the radio, he still sounds like crap. And if the source is also the radio/fm, your headunit might have set it on stereo mode rather than multi-channel, maybe there is a setting somewhere that can change that.

Natawa ako dun ah. :-)

if you're sitting behind, will you hear the music if there's just 2 speakers in front? I don't know kung nagkakaintindihan tayo. but never mind, di pa naman ako magpapakabit, naisip ko unahin ko muna ang keyless entry with alarm kesa sa upgrade ng speakers he he he

Jeff from ACA give me a quote to upgrade my front speakers and install rear speakers + deadening of all doors. I have Innova J, no stock rear speakers and will go for SQ setup. No plans on replacing my HU yet, wala pang pera.

To simplify my answer sir, yes. Even with just 2 speakers it is enough to fill out an entire cabin, even if that is as large as an SUV. if you would like a demo, kotseaudioclub holds its car audition nights every friday at HID Burger Marcos Highway. Everyone is welcome to join and experience car audio and learn from our gurus. It's for free. I'll also be there on one of its meets. My suv(the one in my avatar) currently has only 2 speakers(no subs yet) and I think that will best describe what I was talking about when you hear it
