Hey guys. In about a month I'm going to Thailand for a holiday, and was planning on doing a full audio setup on my car once I got back.

I have a headunit, sub and amp and just need the speakers and another amp. I was told by someone that I can get really cheap gear in Thailand (compared to prices in Australia) and was wondering if that's a reliable thing to go by ? I'm a student with a relatively low income so if I can save myself hundreds of dollars and get something that works perfectly then that's what I'd prefer. Has anyone had any experience with the cheaper overseas variety ?

Thanks

Mate do not do it. You will just end up paying more in the long run.

Do it once, do it right. I'm sure lots of people will tell you this. I too am a poor student, so i know what you're going through. Just spend less time in Thailand and use the money you save to buy decent audio gear over here :P

lucky i found this thread!!

im leaving for thailand saturday morning! was planning on buying heaps of gear over there!

might just save some extra mone and get good stuff when im back!!

double din dvd players with gps and heaps more are only like $250 in thailand! ws really tempting!! but with $$ comes quiality.. which is what you want

guys ive been to thailand and have checked out everything they have to offer (including the live shows) LOL but other than that i wouldnt pay for audio equipment/wheels/engine parts etc. BUT think about it

most people change setups when new things come out

i had a full pioneer sound system every single item is pioneer (which i bought and installed professionally about 2003, and its all lasted till now - think about that.... NO DRAMAS EVER and since i have an iphone now i just wanna change the deck so i can plug that in and use that instead of usbs and mp3 cds.

also as u get older your goals change 1 year ago i sold the sub amp all that other shit and just kept the deck and upgraded front and rear speakers which is more than enough... keeps your car lighter too :)

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
