Kind Words Of Advise on ICE Setup

[AD_EG]

Bro's...

I have a pioneer player which i bought bout 3 years ago..previously i was using in another car with amp + pre-amp...i could bang loud.

Now i transferred to another car...but no amp nothing..just HU + my front and back speaker,when i put my volume past 24 its will go silent...have to off and on back then only it will play again if i put softer.What can the problem be?


Anyways,

Would also like to ask :-

If i want to buy a new Hu budget Rm300..must have USB input.What brand you guys suggest? New or 2nd? Reliable.

I like listening to vocal trance,dance,and occasionally rock...so i need a decent setup for this kind of music.

If i were to get the components speakers budget rm300 also.What should i get?New ? 2nd?

For my back speakers what should i do?What should i get to provide bass(if possible i dont want a woofer).

And lastly i need a 4ch amp right? Anybody can suggest a good amp within rm300.

I need to buy this stuff one by one..i read in a thread based on my budget i cant get new good stuff.....is buying 2nd hand ICE eq safe? usually ppl will bang their audio like mad right? it wont like die when it comes to my hand ah?

Sorry for the long essay,i really dont know much about ICE, i just want a just nice setup for me to listen to my trance.Thanks bro's.

if u say SQ setup amp then mostly ppl dun bang like mad coz we listen 2 music details n voice of the singer(sound quality) if SPL like those bang bang bang then mayb have 2 care a bit...
u can ask seller to COD to ur loc and then u bring it over ur acc shop place 2 test b4 buying
i would say u'll get better stuff when buying 2nd ice stuff due 2 the price...but HU its still better 2 get new 1 coz of the lens wear n tear issue

What is SPL bro?

Any idea what new HU is within my budget and with USB input? How do i know if the product like pioneer or jvc HU is original?

 

[cacin]

SPL = sound pressure level

 

[Yong_5290]

SPL setup means those going for loud volume,heavy bass type

 

[AD_EG]

[shoot_sensei]

[AD_EG]

thats why i need some advice bro..cause i dont wanna go looking around, i dont even know what brands are reputable and further more i dont even know how to tell if its original...thats im damn scared to go buy on my own...i know got damn alot of fakes out there...

 

[Zenn]

[shoot_sensei]

[AD_EG]

the thread for brands i did go through it...the question is what kind of setup should i look for for my taste of music?

 

[ivanz299]

-Bro i got 1 PPI 2075AM 2ch Amp (made in USA) and 1 Sony XEC-700 electronic cross-over (made in JPN), all in good condition. Last time i used for SQ/ passive setup.
-If interested Pls SMS/Call me if you interested ivan 0127070695.

 

[AD_EG]

why kind of speakers should i use at the back if i want it to provide good bass?

I think i will get a set of components speakers(dono what brand,since nobody has much to say or advise)...ill get one 4 channel amp...and add 2 tweeters at the back....i just need to know what kind of speaker i should look for if i want it to supply bass...thank you.

 

[Yong_5290]

ok like this...1st...u like 2 listen sound in clear n detailed or u wan more 2 bass???

if sq setup...save the rear speaker n dun put any...the money u save can put for some decent entry level sq components...try look around in forum's market place for used good brand component
try avoid those mohawk,rockford,sound scream,etc
-next u can get a subwoofer for the low range(bass)
-then u get a 4chn amp...for beginner it doesnt matter so much...juz look for decent power..min 50watt(RMS)x4...so 2 chn can drive ur conponent n run passive and the other 2 chn can bridge em up to power ur subwoofer

if u wan spl...just look for watever tats cheap and offer lot n lots of power...after all,most u'll be hearing is bass

 

[AD_EG]

i need a balance bro...but not tooo much bass i want more on quality...i like listening to trance.not feng tau(techno) bro heheh

so to sum it all, what i need is a good component set(avoid mohawk,soundscream,rocksford, etc)

For my low range bass only option is a subwoofer ah bro? if i dont want a sub? any other replacement that can provide bass?

 

[Yong_5290]

err...then i guess the onli solution is 6x9...or mayb some good mid bass
trance...hell yeah to trance
so if say front speaker ur budget is 300..rear is 200...so add em up and make it 500 for ur front speaker...i think the lowest alpine range type s going around 400-500 like tat

chk tis out...not bad offer

chk out his post as he has a comp set name Coral which is also not bad letting go at 450 but witout the x-over...

but since u like trance i really suggest u to get a sub for the low freq..try to find some sub which onli need a small box 2 perform well..

 

[AD_EG]

hmmm thanks bro for your advice..i think you're right ill just get a small 10" inch sub.

basically,ill get a set of good component speakers.I currently have a 2ch amp in my car...kenwood(dont know if its good or not) that can power the speakers...should i get a monoblock amp for the woofer? or take out the 2 ch amp and get a 4 ch amp?

Should i add tweeters at the back to enhance the quality of sound?

 

[Yong_5290]

erm...nonit la bro...for sound quality we like concert type...so imagine the dashboard is the stage...ur fav singer/dj performing on the stage...dun care bout the rear...
ok for starter...get a comp set n drive wit ur HU...get a sub and drive wit ur current amp...got xtra cash edi then get another amp to drive the comp set...since all comp set need more power to bring out the potential of their sound...so find ur comp set and a sub...and drive wit ur current amp...upgrade slowly 2 get more satisfaction...
its like slowly upgrading ur b16a n churn out those power bit by bit...u get wat i mean?

either add another 2ch for comp or sell ur existing amp and get a better 4ch amp. Using 4ch amp will save on ur power cable and RCA and space too.
