audio set-up for beginners [continued]

[jhnkvn]

Pioneer 80prs
Focal 165as or Hertz HSK 165.4 [ for the same price, I might settle with focal ]
JBL GT1040 with

I might switch to Gladen actually. medyo malaki rin difference..
M line 75.4 and M line 100.2

dilema ko naman ngayon is kung malaki difference ni 290w vs 220w for running my SUB which is 350w required RMS.
medyo mabayo kasi trip ko pag ka EDM's , mas mataas kasi relase value ng 4 channel kaysa 2 channel (though di ko naman kailangan isipin to hehe.)

Not a big difference. I wouldn't sweat it. If you can increase the box size, that'll help tremendously in efficiency rather than piping more power to it.

I'm not particular regarding speaker-amp pairing. Especially not in a car environment where everything bounces around. Now if this was a headphone-amplifier pairing, pwede ka pa maging picky since headphones sit millimeters away from your ears. Speakers, on the other hand, interact with the environment first before hitting your ears. That's why room treatment is top priority in home audio over equipments.

*jhnkvn thanks bro for the nice comments...


hayzzzz! somehow minsan nakaka inis! Its like I'm being forced to take a Hertz esk 165 + hertz HCP5 (5 channel amps!) over a focal 165as + 2 gladen amps combo!

which the hertz actually costs way more than the budget already! considering that the initial budgets was only 30k! but now its doubled!
(BTW , this is not mickey, baka lang may mag assume since based on my previous post siya ang iniisip kong installer... )

Nag adjust ako ng gain using a muti meter. 75% hu vol. V= square root of amp rms multiply to impedance. I got 28.8v. Used 60hz sine test tone. Ito iniisip ko ngayon, na maxed out ko na ang gain 20.2v lang ang lumabas. Kailangan ko pa mag boost para umabot sa 28.8. Di kaya masira ang amp? Tia

You're thinking of big-ass capacitors kasi

The capacitor in-line with tweeter is kinda like this photo (http://www.pispeakers.com/DIY/DX25_Cable_Connected.jpg) take note that this has a capacitor AND a resistor.

A capacitor is simply used to protect the tweeter because it acts like a filter depending on which micro-farad value you put in.

hehe yeah, thought it was these capacitors

great! who is your installer by the way?

As per Mundorf's website:
Capacitor (capital C) stores electricity.
capacitor (small case c) is a frequency dependent resistors


A useful link for choosing the value of capacitor to use for tweeters:

Cool! I used to have Sun-X do my setup way back in 2005.

Oh, that's okay. Overbudgeting is kinda the norm in our line of hobby it applies to any hobby actually.

True. It is better to get the best one you can afford now rather than change your mind and upgrade later. It will be more costly that way.

nakaka adict kasi makadinig ng magandang tono na auto. lalo na nu na dinig ko yung pag kaka iba ng time aligned at hindi na sistema!

after ko marinig sabi ko na lang sa sarili ko.. eto na nga... 1 time big time na! lets go for broke! este for gold pala...

based on other hobby kasi mas magastos pag tinipid. na subok hehe


btw.. settled with focal+ gladen combo.
