Hi guys,

Can someone please tell me what are the stock speaker sizes in the front door panels and on the rear deck? Are the holes big and easy for replacement or modification ( like cutting of the door steel part ) required? Cant tahan the stock system already. Lol.

Thanks  smile.gif

6.5 inch up front.

I just added (i am b line owner) 6.5 inch components with tweeters on the dashboard sides, stock rear speakers and added a nice powerful pounding 12 inch sub driven by amplifier at the back. You need a ring bracket screwed to the hole then baru u screw ur new speakers on it. It sits better. Oh, make sure the "roof" for the speaker's butt is installed or else everytime wash car or rains, ur speaker's butt is wetted and rosak faster. The amplifier only drives the subwoofer. The rest is driven by the player. With proper sound setting at the player and amplifier.......its all pretty nice. Oh... Fader adjust more to the front. In my setup, Bass set at -1/-2 or sometimes 0 or +1 depending on the music being played. Treble set at +3 and fader at F3. Sweet. smile.gif

Hi bro, thanks for the reply. So the stock hole in the front door panels will accept 6.5" drivers yea? Nice to hear about your system, and thanks for the advice. So did you DIY your system? Will get my installer to do the roof thing for me. Anyway, will be nice for Persona owners to share their systems here!
*
Nola. Ask them to do.

QUOTE(NSX_MY @ Jul 12 2010, 10:46 AM)
by stock is 6 inch, the door metal panel can only fit in 6 inch size speaker, so in order to fit 6.5" speaker, u need to add in a 6.5" bracket and drill some holes

QUOTE(jasontantenghuat @ Jul 12 2010, 11:43 AM)
How much to install front speakers for b line? No need so keng wan, enough to handle metal bands enough de.
*
NSX: Thanks for correcting me. Anyways, having the bracket is also better because the speakers can be mounted better and more secure. Drilling of the holes is for the bracket screws.

jasontan: Highly dependent on what you want, expect, and how big is ur wallet. tongue.gif

I have the burning smell problem too, is it normal? Anything serious?

new car will always have that "burnt" smell. it will go away after a while. no worries. its because of the new coating of undercoating paints that is under ur car........ which most of the time, is around the exhaust systems as well, new seals around the engine....... iyah nothing wan la......

once its seasoned.... no smell. laugh.gif

for those who have ICM "eeee" sound... i got my PE 3rd May and notice about it... but i didn't bother, until now, the sound had vanish.
the other thing is the drum brake got "dak dak dak" sound when braking... after you run in the brake pad, the sound will vanish too...

give your car some time to run in and all the sound will vanish away...

but till now still have one sound which is the metal knocking sound when cornering uneven road... pending for my second service to install the ori valve thing...


Added on July 18, 2010, 12:44 pmfor those who still have doubt about Persona Elegance...

well, i just want to share something with you. My brother in law just taken his new Vios. he is having problem on the wheel lower arm, he claim that got sound coming out...

One of my LC friend too have problem with his new vios, morning very hard to start his car, seem that the electronic in his car got problem and had to leave the car at the service center to check.

the new honda city too have problem, as well as kia and other cars...

i think proton have so far come out a better car - persona, compared with the previous models. it is up to you all the judge.
*
honestly speaking, Proton did improve a lot starting with the Persona. Fittings are more properly made, plastic panels like door panels, pillar trims, boot trims, floors are all fully padded and the car is far more solid than all previous models before it. Ever since the Persona, u will see better improvement on gen2, waja, exora.

mind u, i was a anti proton guy ever since the start of the 2nd batch of wiras many moons ago. back then i would curse Proton to hell but i never thought i would be owning one today! Actually it all started with my curiosity of the Persona one day when i was damn f***ing bored at home. Wanting a sedan to replace my myvi back then but do not want to spend so much for a car (for now). test drive it, checked the price..... wtf man.... comon... almost same price with myvi and with far better built and quality??? my heart was instantaneously bought over. With this price range of a proper sedan....... what is there more to ask?! Yea sure, it does have its own problems here and there. But so far, based on my experience, none is as bad as my ex 2006 MyVi (A)!!!!!!! Not even close.

Hummm... didn't notice how long... just that when i saw back all post here then only i notice the sound gone.
i took my car on the 3rd May... till now is two months plus only...
i haven't install the orifice valve... i will install it when i reach my second free service.
i was waiting for those who have install it and give fed back here... smile.gif


Added on July 18, 2010, 9:07 pm
this is one of the example that i was trying to convey to others who still have doubt on proton persona...
even myvi have the problems.
ours is on the economical range cars. how about the more expensive cars?
Beemer too have a lot of problems...
just open our ear to listen and you will find all kind of stuff / problem.
final words, proton is more or less same level as vios, city, myvi n etc in terms of quality and handling...
it is up to you to choose which car you want base on many factor (monthly installment, how much you can afford, for what usage, small or big car, town drive or urban drive)
*
for me, number one factor is $$$$$. Few cars i was eyeing on:-

For new
1. City
2. Altis
3. Forte

For used
1. Used BMW 3 series E46 model
2. Used Vios first model
3. Used City

But all when comes to monthly installment... its a bit too much per month. Unless i dump in more deposits which i do not have. I wish to drive a E46 BMW though....... sigh....... so near yet so far.

It's ok........ the time will come when i drive one...... one day. Soon. cool.gif

lulz.. dunno whether i have told this before or not.. as i were searching for cars, i had city and vios in mind. But since my salary was like below 2k at that time (just started work), so pass. Well, had an interest on persona, tested to sit inside, it is comfortable. Browse car magazine, found out old vios and city cost around the same like persona. So i cant decide whether want to take a new persona, old vios, or old city.

Then came my boss, poison me kaw2 to take a second hand toyota or honda coz their resale value is high and good quality. I was almost ate the poison, until the next week, my boss second hand honda jazz's gearbox went kaput. He was quoted 7k++ to repair it. When i heard that, i was thinking "if my second hand car gearbox or engine went bust, how am i gonna fork out the money to repair it?"

So immediately, i booked persona, a new car that certainly have warranty to save from the miserable incident  laugh.gif
*
yea HELL LOTSA FACTORS come into mind when deciding on buying a car. like what vson said above.
Damn...... i wish.......i wish ............ dry.gif

anyone here modified their engines to have more low rpm torque?


Added on July 31, 2010, 11:29 ambtw i now realised how much difference between a non iafm and iafm campro engine feels and drives like. its totally different. i just tested one non iafm unit and comparing it to my daily ride iafm unit. Both auto and stock specs. Both Persona. comparing 2008 model and my 2009 model.

1. non iafm pickup is much slower and sluggish
2. more delay from the drive by wire
3. less responsive from engine
4. less torque overall and most noticeable at low rpm
5. louder engine tone at certain rpm.
6. at standstill, once i floor it, the engine response is slow, rpm climbs up slower, barely wheel spin and much lower torque is felt.

Seems that on paper the specs is not accurate. Since the performance between both iafm and non iafm engine is totally different.

Now i wonder how CPS units feels like.....hummmm.....

1. the foldable seat hook noise. some said using tape or something to pad it then it will be alright.

? thx in advance
*
- ok this seems to be on random with B line owners. i am one of the b line owners here. i got this problem also that time. well, it is the stupid drum design fault. believe it or not. i was with the mech solving it at the SC whole morning. the problem lays with the one portion of the backing plate acting as a slider pad for the drum brake pads to slide on and apparently has bumps an grooves on it. so it makes the operation noisy. i asked them to modify it but it seems impossible due to the design of the bumps and grooves. u just have to live with it. it is either u upgrade to disc brakes at the rear at the same time if u do so, u need to replace the master pump to either gen2 1.6 or persona 1.6 (H Line) master pump because the current master pump in b line and m line is using 1.3 pumps.

OR

send to a knowledgeable workshop to mod the backing plate by grinding off the grooves / bumps at the sliding pad area and reweld a flat smooth plate on it. that will do the trick. i didn't do mine yet.
