I just got my new Myvi and found out that the speaker does not have bass. Much worse than my desktop speaker at home.
Then manage to find this forum here, ICE.

I am a total noob on car audio system here. My only wish is only better music listening but
not to spend a great deal(eg >RM1k) and
not to get into some ayam brand,
and also possible not adding some really big woofer or amplifier at my boot.
Sorry if I offend people with really nice and good sound system with big amplifier and woofer, I do think that its very nice, but I need the boot space.

What is that I can do to start off with ?

You definitely need to budget first.

An HU would be good to start with...

...But last time I changed comp set first, and I can hear the difference already (Focal 165A1)...

But to mount speaker for Myvi, you will need to make/cut a mould on your door trim... Since yours is a new car, you willing to sacrifice that not?

Even if you change the HU, you will need to replace the HU casing too....

Headache not? brows.gif

The head unit meaning the cd player that part right?

Thank you for all the replies. But i probably might just want to do it once off, as in might not be getting other things later. Is there anything like whole package(preferabaly without taking boot space, still preserve the look of the original car but improves sound system) that somebody can refer me to? 

Why is it so complicated to improve car audio system?!! Isn't it much simpler to improve the sound system on a pc?! sad.gif

Not simple for myvi.... especially without the 6.5" hole for speaker....

From this website here :

hxxp://kereta.info/basic-car-audio-system-specification-upgrade-installation-price/

which tallies with most of what have been discussed in this ICE forum. Basic thing to do to be satisfactory will be to change the

head unit and component set.

But if want more then only add amplifier and subwoofer later.

But the head unit in Myvi really that terrible mehhh ?? I quite like the design of the head unit thoughh..

Oh.. so IF i were to get that, I dont have to change the head unit nor component set, only add the active sub ?

Results will be satisfactory ?

The limitation of stock HU is the function... But if you think the function suit your taste, then just leave it.

Result is subjective.... you have to at least listen to it first.

Experience wise, after install... DON'T jump into cars with box subwoofer.... biggrin.gif

Thank you everybody for all the input. Looking at everybody's helpful advise and my own satisfaction and taste and budget, I have come up with this conclusion.

1)I will add a component speaker by Boschmann, AL-100SE. Its a 4" 2 way speaker.

2)I will add an active sub woofer,name Steelmate SW 826, can be bought from LYN forummer, sh@rty.

I will not change the head unit.

Will my original head unit be able to support these? And any other advise or recommendation before I go ahead ?

Thank you very much smile.gif

Can support... why cannot support le? I thought Zenn suggested you to go for coaxial 4", no?

This thing look like tweet and speaker is splitted into 2.... Wonder how you gonna position the tweet.... hmm.gif
