Your best choice is to first bring it to an installer and check your separates' crossover. It might have decibel attenuation that is decreasing the output of your speakers. In general, it's usually on a 3dB gap (ex. 0dB, -3dB, -6dB). Aside from this, look at your source (head unit)'s settings. There might be settings there that is also reducing the tweeter output.

By experience, most people who have tweeter output problems suffers from either or both of these problems. It's very rare for somebody to be unsatisfied with their tweeter output given factory or aftermarket products.

Also, adding another tweeter may not necessarily solve your problem. Depending on acoustics, it might in fact just aggravate it.[/QUOTE]

thanks a lot jhnkvn. that was very clear.

But unlike siento's observation. I believe that's a passive subwoofer with a fabricated box. Reason for this is the tell-tale speaker terminals from the box as opposed to RCA inputs.

This is the subwoofer boss

It's like a modified active sub, wherein they integrated an amp on the enclosure along with the driver. I usually see those being sold in Concorde before. RCA lang kelangan, good to go na.

Magtanong lang mga guru's,

Which is better, pair of 8" sub or single 10"?

Sub will be kicker cvt or cvr kung ano masmura hehe.

Subwoofer would be up to 1cuft max sealed enclosure in rectangular shape. Im not into sobra gapang na bass kaya lang mapuno ang cabin ng jazz with out distortion happy na ko. Salamat in advance sa magbibigay ng inputs!

Mas lamang boss sa cone area yung dual 8". More cone area = more air it can move. So if it's the same enclosure, mas malakas theoritically yung dual. Kaso check din if those dual 8s will have an optimal enclosure given that box size, kasi if it's the 10" sub that fits that enclosure requirement not the dual 8, dun ka na sa single 10" since di mo din maimaximize yung dual 8" mo.

Not sure if it's the right thread, but I already changed my wife's Innova's speakers & now thinking of changing the head unit as well.

Her innova is the E variant so it doesn't have the touchscreen. Wanted to get a reverse camera so she wouldn't have a hard time. But obviously I have to change the head unit first.

I saw in Lazada for some as low as P5k. I don't really need the expensive high end ones. Just need one that can be used for reverse camera, & bluetooth & steering wheel controls as well.

Anyone here tried any of them in Lazada? Or any other cheap recommendation? Thanks!

Try mo sir sa may Araneta Car Accessories kay Jefftan. Or add mo rin siya FB page. meron siyang affordable headunits (Less than 10k) na pwede makabitan ng reverse camera din (avail din sakanya)
