[QUOTE="schone, post: 97149, member: 41"] kevster30 - yes.. you CAN do ICE for RM2k... - find a simple installer who is willing to spend time - buy lower cost components and tune like hell!! When I first picked up my car from Teh-ni-chi after a few grand of installation... it sounded BAAAAAAAD.... but they assured me it wasn't tuned yet but after an hour or so of tuning based on my live feedback.. it was sweet! IMportant bit was having the tuning points. My first foray into ICE was a no-name 2ch amp for RM250 and a sub (RM300) and a enclosure (RM250) - I spent many hours trying to tune it but to no avail - it still sounded like crap. I think my failure then was - weak amp - poor tuning points ( no cross over, low pass / high pass) : this led to awful pollution of sound from all points At the barest minimum.. I would suggest the following and my cheap cheap budget - a 4ch electronic cross over (RM800) - one 10" sub with enclosure (RM600) - one 4ch amp (RM500-600 can buy cheap cheap - use taiwanese brand .. they are decent.. seriously) Set up : - HU ==> into xover ==> amp - front speakers ==> 2ch on amp - sub ==> bridge 2ch on amp - rear speakers - either remove, or plug in some resistors to soften it to bare minimal - drive from head unit Tuning points (you can tune yourself) - x-ver (high pass for front speakers, low pass for the sub - ampl level on 4ch amp to control balance between front speakers and sub I seriously this will give you the working platform to tune.
