What is 'perfect sound system'? Perfect to me may not be perfect to you. Perhaps if u could narrow down your expectations on your aspiring system, I think there will be quite a lot of sifu to guide u such as giving the scope of budget, amount of headroom, ambience, staging, imaging, vocal, bass etc.

Thanks guys,
(perfect sound system) Wherever you sit in front, back left or right - the music sounds the same with clear music in your ears.

dude here not X-Men Academy la,

where got ICEMAN to give u advice?

 

[Zenn]

what do u find lacking in your system now?

i see u dont have a sub yet..

 

[louisl]

i have kicker amp and subwoofer, just that i dont it list down, coz i dont like too heavy bass.
i still not satisfied with my car sound system. i need very clear voice and music.

thanks

If money not your consent... hope can add afew stuff.. where it can improve your system.. run in full active

Just my 10cent suggestion..

a) Change HU to Alpine 9835/Eclipse 8061/Pioneer P9 Combo/Clarion HX-D2
b) Add external electronic crossover if HU not capable tu run 4ways active
c) Add 1 pc 12' DVC Sub-woofer- DLSUR12 or JLW6V2-D4
e) Add another 2 unit amp either 2 ch or 1 2ch + 1 monoblock

A) I'm prefer P9 Combo or HX-D2
B) No need coz P9 got everything, HX-D2 can run 4ways full active
C) either 2 loorr
E) I'm DLS A3 + A6 .. www.gr8tunes.net/forum/showthread.php?t=7050


Helix A4- front drive tweeter & rear drive mid-range, DLS A3 drive Mid-bass & A6 drive Sub-woofer... Iridium passive crossover keep it at home...

 

[louisl]

Pioneer P9 Combo and Clarion HX-D2 which 1 is batter ?
i think am not going to install rear speaker, DLS 3 ways is enough.

thanks

 

[appleyard]

change you car.

Above is good.. diff HX-D2 need very long RCA (6m) cable but P9 just need around <1m only for each amp if all your amp located in boot loorr... for more feature I will go to P9

I'm not sure price for new 1.. but U can use this 3 for your reference...

P9R combo.. www.mycarhifi.com/carhififorum/viewtopic.php?t=1236
P90R combo.. www.mycarhifi.com/carhififorum/viewtopic.php?t=1660
HX-D2.. www.gr8tunes.net/forum/showthread.php?t=6968

 

[louisl]

how about the SQ for the P9 and HX-D2 ?

 

[oldskolboyz]

interm SQ, above HU no doubt about it... there are several HU

a) Mcintosh MX406/4000/5000 need external proc/e-cross
b) Alpine CDA7990R (F#1) need H900
c) Pioneer P9R/90R need DEQ P9/90R
d) Clarion 9255EXL or HX-D1/D2
e) Eclipse CD8061 need external proc/e-cross

Where zenn, unker soong, calvinpk... Helllllpppppppppppp..
to me 4ways is complicated to explain.. coz need low pass (sub), bandpass (midbass), bandpass (midrange) & highpass (tweeter)... only HX-D2 capable to do the job without external processor/crossover but need long RCA.. DEX-P9R need DEQ to do the job but not to costly (that why I call it combo)... 8061 & MX need some other equip.. maybe U can add processor & crossover like EQT,EQL, H701, TRU F-2 or else... F#1 now become collector item & not cheap also (<12K.. used) coz need H900 (12ch if I not mistaken) to do the job...

The CDA 7990 does not need the Alpine processor (H701 or H990) to function.
I am currently using the HU with the TRU active crossover and powering the 2 front comps full active.
However, you'll need the processors for the current 9990 HUs.

lastly Unker U here... haa haa... 7990 front out/rca connect to F-1 can run Ir6.3 full active (depend on low pass filter range, Unker can it go above 400hz).. 7990 sub out can drive sub directly... Unker that mean application same as HX-D2 loorr... need long RCA cable for each amp if the amp located inside car boot...

 

[louisl]

I like both P9 Combo and HX-D2. consider first which HU going to get.

Thanks guys.
