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.

HU = Head Units
A = Amps
SW = Subs
Sp = Mids/Highs
M = Multimedia

Make sense juga lah bro... tapi masalah ni barang dari china pun dia mau kasi mahal2 sedangkan kos buruh sudah rendah... mungkin profit punya pasal lah... distributor ni lah yang buat masalah... barang dapat murah tapi harga jualan melampau-lampau ni... mungkin yang ada poket besar, ok jak lah... tapi kalau poket yg belum pun sampai tengah bulan penuh habuk sudah tu yang susah...

stju jg 2..smua 2 bgntung pd pmsngn sndri bha 2..law pkai brand power2 tp x pndai dlm pmbuatan box,setting,karan, ssh jga 2.

Memang betul, tapi kita ambil contoh 2 kereta berbeza, kedua-duanya diset oleh Taiko street audio, kedua-duanya main SPL, kereta A pakai Head Unit Pioneer, Mid speakers Treo Engineering fullset dgn amp sekali, Subwoofer 12" JBL G TI series dengan amp class D JBL, kereta B pakai Head Unit Made in China, Mid speakers Street Edge satu set dgn amp, subwoofer "12 brand SPL satu set dgn amp class D nya.

Dengan mengambilkira kepakaran taiko street audio set kedua-dua kereta, pada pendapat saya tidak mungkin kereta B boleh mengatasi kereta A. (Sekiranya saya silap sila betulkan). Begitulah list perbandingan ini dibuat, dengan menganggap ceteris paribus pada faktor2 lain.

Lain cerita sekiranya saya yang install kereta A manakala kereta B diinstall oleh taiko street audio, memanglah ada kemungkinan kereta B yang menggunakan device n driver yang jauh lebih rendah kualitinya mengatasi kereta A yang menggunakan alatan audio yang high quality dan competiton series.

wah ada pakai JBL GTi punya subwoofer. ni bukan murah punya wufer nii

brapa hrga woofer 2 bro kippo?

susa juga mau borong ni.. diurang dapat murah d china.. tapi ko mau tau.. 1 barang diurang mau ambil kuantiti lebih dari 1ribu biji.. baru dapat murah... sama 1 lagi diurang kena control harga oleh suplyer..!! bukan sembrangan mau buang harga...!! so kita pun mau bijak la.. kan kita penguna..!!

TUKANG JUAL TIADA SALAH........ SELALU NYA KITA JAK SALAH BELI.... kan..!!
