ICE setup

[Creative_tec]

juz bought a car(Mazda Astina) without component speakers and HU, basically the car is without any sound system at all coz previous owner take away his sound system. Now i need to get a HU, component speakers and blah blah blah but i know nuts about sound system. However, i have set aside $500 to $1K for a simple ICE setup. Thinking of going to SLS to get the stuffs needed ( HU and etc) but scare kena chop carrot head. So i need the experts here to recommend a simple setup(pls include the price of HU and component) so that i can buy the stuff and go to my friend shop in JB to fix up everything.

 

tks in advance.

To maximise your budget, certain item can be bought 2nd hand, Eg. Amplifiers are not cheap for brand new!

 

My suggestion: (price based on conservative estimation, with no regards for "branded" car audio stuffs)

1) 6.5" Component Speakers for the front (NEW) $150+

2) Co-axial rear speakers (size depending on ur current setup)$80+

3) 4-channel amp (USED) $180+

4) Single-CD HU (USED) 180+

 

The above are based on my limited knowledge of current I.C.E. pricing without installation. Be prepared to spend more for branded names/installation.

 

FYI, I have a Sony tape deck (XR-U330) with 10-CD Changer (CDX-626) for sale at $150 and a 8" MTX basstube at $100. Let me know if u r keen.

 

Hope i've been of some help to u, good luck!
