i use ADS, those made in USA components, power amp and speakers.
i have processors but i did not put it in this ride, as long as i have clean clear sound and bass, i am happy.
A processor needs to fine tune by a analysor and skills needed to make it sound good.
I have played with too many car audio systems, time to go back to basics. you can audition it to see which one you prefer. Tategoi and Bugaboo got good setups, try it and decide yourself before deciding.

My system was done by Swift Motion, mainly using Diamond Audio speakers and amps. Click on my signature for some pictures.

The last time I mail ordered a pre-amplifier for US$1,000 and was slapped with S$80 GST. However, I returned the pre-amp but Fed-Ex said I still have to pay the GST once the goods arrived in Singapore. Whether or not I choose to keep the item is irrelevant. No time and too lazy to pursue with IRAS. Any thoughts?

You need to pay GST for goods above S$400. Perhaps previously the declared amount is less than S$400? Otherwise you have been evading tax, its an offence you know

GST sure must pay one lah. Even the interface we bought attracted GST. My Hamann from Germany also did.
Only if you are able to classify on the invoice " sample - not for sale" can you escape GST.

Was at your neighbourhood last nite. The No. 64 "M5" was just 2 house away from my friend's place. On closer look, not so nice liao because this guy modded everything including quad exhaust, front fender, M5 logo but still retain the stock mirror. A bit of a wasted effort.
