[QUOTE="bafukie, post: 2440512, member: 27790"] jason, i came from where u are right now. Sit down relax and find out more about ICE before putting ur money in. Firstly, pre-amp is a big no no. Most of the pre amp in the market are cap ayam ie meaning loyar/useless. They give u more noise than it to tune a good sound. Why they use pre amp is because ur HU has only one rca pre out which therefore u need a pre amp to hook it up ur 4 channel amp and ur monoblock. No use. What i would think, is that starting with a 2.5k budget, this is what i would do (i) get a HU (for me eclipse cd2000 around 700 with 3 rca pre-out, then u dun need to buy pre amp) (ii) The rest 1800, spend 800 on component set and 1 k on amplifier (4 channel abit hard to find). then later on, save enough money to buy monoblock and subwoofer. If possible lelong off ur current ICE stuff, then use the money to buy better stuff. Seriously to go into ICE blindly and not knowing which one is good, u can really forsee where ur going. 2.5k to upgrade to cikai brand ICE stuff--> regret--> change again---> upgrade---> more upgrade. So dun go into this vicious and really painful cycle. Ask around this forum, there are alot of sifu here to guide u. Or check out the ICe for sale section, there are alot of good sellers there who recommend good stuff (for beginner) according to their budget. [/QUOTE]
