audio set-up for beginners (ARCHIVED)

I'd pick B. Mas maganda kung hiwalay seps sa amp IF your using 2 subs, but if your using only 1 sub then pwede mo na isama seps and sub in one amp. BTW are you going for a sealed or ported box? ano ride mo?

[ching]

ported box po. actually meron na ako box (2.83 cubic feet - interior volume). space wagon po ride ko.

Baka pwede na yung 1 Sub sa ride mo, kasi maliit lang naman yung space sa loob.

theveed: anong setup ng benz mo?

Car audio newbie here.. I have a few questions.. I've tried reading some articles sa bcae1.com kaso medyo malalim eh, di ko magets. So dito ko na lang tanungin kung ok lang

Nabasa ko sa isang webpage na Headunits daw have amplifiers na diba? So sa likod ng HU, yung wire na nakakabit directly sa speakers, amplified na by the HU, is that right? So in short: HU -->AMP (built in) --->SPEAKERS. OK, gets ko that part.

Now here's my question..if i buy another amp, diba i connect that to the wire from the HU din diba? So ang mangyayari, amplified na siya by the HU, tapos amplified ulit siya by the separate amp? Tama ba?

Another question.. ano po yung rearfills? eh yung capacitors?
Sorry kung medyo dumb mga questions ko ha? Dito talaga sa aspect na to (audio) wala akong kaalam-alam eh. Thanks so much for your help! Hope ok lang sa mods na dito ko pinost

If you buy a separate amplifier, you will no longer use the HUs built in amplifier. You'll connect a pair RCAs from the amp to the HUs preouts from there the signal travels from the HU to the AMP to either an external crossover or a build in crossover (to filter out Hi's, Mid's, or Low's) to speaker wires to speakers.

Another question.. ano po yung rearfills? eh yung capacitors?

Rearfills are somewhat similar to subs, its purpose is to play out low frequency sounds.

Capacitors are like "reservoirs", stores energy if your system doesn't need it, then supplies power when your system needs that additional juice.

Signs where you might need a capacitor:
- dimming lights when you turn on your radio / when the bass hits.
- bass sounds great for the first few minutes then gradually degrates (lack of power).

However instead of buying a capacitor some suggest that you purchase an aftermarket alternator if you need more power.

HTH.

ang rearfills po is mga speaker sa likod.. dun sa backboard.. kadalas po is 6x9's.. ang capacitors is prang battery cell like un itsura.. eto un kinukuhanan ng lakas pag nabibitin sa paghigop sa battery... lalo na pag deep bass

wow thanks so much odell and ilovedetailing! That helped a lot!

ah ic.. from pre-amp, deretso na sa separate amplifier. Gets!

what happens naman if i bought separates na may kasamang crossover. And then connect that to an amp which has a built-in crossover. So mangyayari dalawang crossovers? What happens now? Diba na-direct na ng built-in xo ng amp yung traffic, tapos pagdating dun sa isang xo, madi-direct nanaman? Ito ba yung sinasabi nila sa KAC na passive and active?

wow kumokonti na lang questions ko.. malapit na akong magipon! thanks ulit in advance ha?

[odell]

ako kase medyo mahina sa DIY.. sa akin lang naman.. pag kuha mo ng isang product.. normally kasama na kabit niyan ;)

[yomar]

actually pag kuha ko ng products, ipapakabit ko din hehehe natatakot ako eh. At least kung may masira may masisisi ako hehehe. :D Gusto ko lang din kasi makasabay sa inyo na marurunong talaga sa mga technical stuff. Dumudugo ilong ko kakabasa ng mga terms like passive, active, ohms etc hehe
