Pioneer TS-S15

For other countries, it’s called Pioneer TS-T15. They have the same features.

A few months ago I bought a Pioneer TS-S15 tweeters for my car. However, it didn’t have any crossovers and high-pass filters with it. So I had to improvise. I need to create my own high-pass filter. It’s quite simple actually. You just need a non-polar capacitor of the right micro farad and you would have your do-it-yourself high-pass filter.

Now, I’ve been looking all over the internet for the right capacitor value for my car tweeters. As I was surfing, I came across this site: Car Audio - Speaker Crossover Chart

After purchasing a 4.7 uf non-polar capacitor, I went over to my car dealer and had it installed.

The tweeters improved my car audio quite impressively. Those who rode in my car were impressed with the overall quality of the sound. The tweeters added more detail to the music. The bass gave a lot of car shaking without the pain in your chest. But that’s another story. hehe!

Pioneer DEH-3750MP

For father’s day, I got my dad a new car stereo, Pioneer DEH-3750MP! I got the Cd-MP3 version ’cause I know he has a lot of old cassettes and cds that he would like to be preserved to MP3 format.

I wanted to get my dad the flip face type but somebody advised me against it. My friend had a flip face car stereo but it got worn out and it wouldn’t flip gracefully now. So I settled with the slot-in type.

Here are the features:

  • CD-R/RW playback
  • MP3 playback with ID3 Tag
  • WMA (Windows Mediaâ„¢ Audio) playback with WMA Tag
  • WAV file playback
  • BMX (Bitmetric Equalizer)
  • EEQ
    • 5-mode preset equalizer
    • 1-mode custom preset equalizer
    • 3-band parametric equalizer
    • 3-mode selectable loudness
    • Selectable FIE (Front Image Enhancer)
  • RCA preout: rear
  • Supertuner® IIID

So far I am very impressed with the quality of this car stereo.

In terms of the face plate, when I apply pressure on the left side it causes it to pop out. This is the detachable face plate “feature” but they didn’t secure it enough. However, if you use it carefully it handles quite well.

In terms of sound, I am overwhelmed by the capacity of the output. Now I have to change my dad’s car speakers as well just to be able to cope up with the sound quality. It can output a great deal of bass that I’m thinking of either getting amps and subs for my dad or a new set of speakers that can handle the amount of bass this stereo can produce.

Anyway, the price of this car stereo is quite reasonable with the vast features it can offer.
