Hi Chaihot5, You Are most welcome. But you don't say till like this leh.

I'm a newbie. Very Pai Sei wan. If you drop by next round.

Maybe can get advise from Uncle Bob or Patrick.

This two person tuning tok kong wan.

[Nlatio]

yo bro, thank so much for the help last nite.... kena poison by Ken again last nite... with new CD, it is double poison.... ....hmmmm.... new amp and speaker...

[Coolbreeze90]

eh dun shy leh...

 

U also not bad one wat...

 

Now your system sounds much much better then mine and alot others i have heard lor....

[Hyun]

good luck on your purchase! even after installation, still can do a bit of tuning, like determine how much rear speakers should play, how much +bass and +treble is realistic, how much left-right balance is suitable, and whether the doors require further soundproofing based on new setup (likely to be required, see the other post, can do light-weight one).

 

even the active sub requires a bit of tuning - what frequency it should play, how loud, etc.

 

if u have not spent the $ yet, really, dont have to fear 2nd hand products, cos u save about 30-50% often, and many still have warranty cos they're sold soon after purchase. it's usually not products that are spoilt then sell, cos people here USUALLY not that bad. it's cos they find they want better sound, then they sell and upgrade. browse the forums lor, for me i would take 2nd hand. u just have to pay installer to install the items.

 

e.g. i saw CDT CL-61 selling second hand about $350 / 2 = $175.

i saw some 4 channel amps. some days back got 5-channel, even better, that one is infinity $250 only. 4 channels also got $200-300. but if u intend to have focus+sub in future and dowan to spend $ on more amps, 5 channels better.

i saw rear speakers (coaxial) being sold also. not sure which ones. even the blaupunkt $100 TH132 can be used as rear speakers - but they're not coaxial, so have to stick the tweeter somewhere.

active subs are selling 2nd hand about $150-250 depending on model.

 

u dont intend to do any DIY right?

 

happy shopping!

[Coolbreeze90]

Wah bro,

 

U dishing out alot of sound advice man....

 

I agree with the 2nd hand products but have to take into consideration that with the purchase of a used product, there might not be any confirmation of its usability.

 

But if you are really into saving money, there are alot more advice that you can pick up from the real lao lao lao jiao fr MCF.

 

I have saved at least 2k on my car liao....

[Shooter]

Roland... Don't rush into thing.

One at a time, I think you have to stop changing stuff in your set up.

Since you have install a new amp. Let it run in first.

you should try to play with the TA on your 9855 and even can consider changing the tweeter mounting position.

New item WILL NOT sound good if is not tune...

[Shooter]

Mine you

[Shooter]

Well said Hyun. Good advise

[Hyun]

> I agree with the 2nd hand products but have to take into consideration that with the purchase of a used product, there might not be any confirmation of its usability.

 

i think so far we seldom hear of people buy 2nd hand product got problem hor.. so it's luck lor, but the chances don't seem that high.

 

and usually 2nd hand products are long life enough to last us for at least 2 years or more, until almost time to retire them and use that as an excuse to UPGRADE hehehe.

 

and the chance of having spoilt 2nd hand product is probably less than the chance installer can screw u with a bad install. interesting huh? no justice in this world.

[Perseus76]

i have no problem with 2nd products. in fact i dont mind getting 2nd hand HU, just that I dont feel good getting 2nd hand subs, amps and speakers.....u never know the condition..........

 

but as of now, i do not want to spend too much on ICE, so I will be keeping my HU for the time being, till they gave way, then i got excuse to Upgrade.
