The 4 categories are:

Horrible brands - avoid these brands at all cost, they are a total waste of money.

Entry level brands - good for the first time car audio enthusiasts, you get a great sound for a cheap price.

High quality brands - these are more expensive than entry level, but not ridiculously expensive, since you get execellent sound that will be louder/cleaner than entry level brands.

Competition brands - these brands are the mother of all brands, prices are very expensive but if you can afford it, these are the brands that win sound competitions at car shows.

mmg brand nie bgs dlm spl..x ngam utk sq..hurm..sy x brapa thu lh klu 2 brg kna wat d china n kna luluskn under company kt korea..tp xkn lh kna wat kt china.

hehe.. ntah ble pecaya ka ni... hehe

yg kt ats 2 mmg ble pcya..cma yg made ni china 2 yg ssh skit 2.

yalor bro... yang atas tu aku ok juga.. tapi yang prokick made in china ni yang aku nda pecaya ni.. hehe

mau bkti nie tau..hihi..

buka ja tu amp cover & tengok kalau ada tulis made in korea.

kippo set dulu sound keta saya bah..tp sound biasa2 saja sy guna..

na.. buktinya ada dalam amp tu..... hehe

Ameron memang made in china. Prokick/shuttle lab punya mid jak yang made in china tapi amp dan woofer made in korea.

lepas aku tengok semua brand dalam list atas sekali tu, kesimpulan yang dapat aku buat ialah list di atas tu bukan mengkhusus utk pengeluaran db yang tinggi semata2 atau spl, list yang di atas tu berdasarkan kualiti bunyi yang dihasilkan. jangan susah hati kalau tiada brand anda dalam list tu, mungkin juga kualiti bunyi brand itu tidak seberapa tapi mampu menghasilkan bacaan db yang tinggi.

mid n woofer prokick d buat len2 tmpt?heran jga.

ya, subwoofer dan amp prokick punya component dibuat di korea dan dipasang di kilang sri kembangan Malaysia. mid speaker dikilang di china.mungkin sebab kos tenaga buruh yang rendah di china.

npa x kslruhan kt china ja law kos buruh murah kt sna?

misalnya semua barang prokick dikilangkan di china, ko ada keyakinan untuk beli kah? china sekarang terkenal dengan mutu dan kualiti pengeluaran barang yang sangat rendah...
