for 850 u probably shudnt think about speakers n subwoofers yet

juz get a good HU with usb support. sorry i cant recommend any specific model (not up to date haha). when i upgrded my myvi head unit to an alpine 9873E (~rm850 la with installation + the mount thing) last time, it was a huge difference i dun think they sell that model anymore

i checked on garage sale, some body selling combo set speakers for rm3xx so i maybe thinking to get a rm400++ HU and install those speakers...issit a good idea on that?

just change the HU 1st, then if got some more, then change speaker a lil bit, slowly la.. no need to rush if got low budget..

Can change speaker first...

i would suggest change spk first..it give u the best improvement.

rear speakers 1st?

No la bro... Front la.

But you don't want to do a door mould hor?

i will suggest u save up more, then install compset n 4 channel amp together.

next will be sub woofer, final would be ur hu if u want.

why want to change ur hu now since u got a tight budget.

u gto ur point...a decent set of compset + 4channel amp roughly how much? btw i already got a double 10" Sub with enclosed box ready ( work as a speaker on my dvd player >.<)

myvi's bonet is small space right?? i got myvi too, and when i put the speaker box, then cannot put anything inside the bonet.. lol.. i suggest u use this..

Nice to see and do save a lot of space...

...but the sound might not be that nice.

Ur budget already can buy a decent compset new or used, but not enuf for both compset n amp. Another 1k for amp should be good enuf.

When u want to buy both, remember to check their specs whether suitable or not.

wahhhhh...alot to study...ICE ICE ICE ^^

Better to learn more about ice then only invest, it will save hassle n money in future.

I suggest change the head unit first lor... cos i also have a myvi (2009) and the sound system sux la as usual...

Last month, my bro got his new car, so he give his Sony XS-GT6938X 3-way coaxial speakers to me (it's quite new). Link--> SonicElectronics

I thought that since the Peak is 400watts, the base sure damn nice.. but now the sound is even WORSE! cos the Myvi original head unit cannot pump the base at all.. max also +5 only.. the base sound like ppl knocking a piece wood.. really crappy..

Even the ppl in the work shop who install for me said that the sound will only be nice if I change head unit..

(My bro transferred his Sony head unit to his new car.. he only give me speakers -.-)

My uncle, also got myvi...he changed head unit only, and the sound is quite nice... If i know i change HU only... =.=

Now wanna take out also cant cos already got 2 holes at the back.


Anyone know any good head unit? what brand? good price... pls lemme know.

Myvi stock audio ain't suck enough.. But it's suck BIG time like most of the local manufactured cars..

U will have to change the HU, together with the HU panel 1st, then only talk about the speaker, as a entry level RM850 is more than enough to get a decent HU, a 2-way component which required another door panel also can bought into ur consideration, that would be another budget around rm500

LOL My budget for the HU is only RM400.. don't feel like spending too much. After all I only wanna be able to hear the bass. My bro said he got his sony HU for about RM300+. The sound is not bad.. good enough for me. And i'm a student.. hehe.. a bit hard to press my mom's ATM buttons

guys,can tell me what HU is..??
im new and trying to learn abit bout ice

HU = Head Unit~

check here~
Head Unit

ayam new toooo~

lnlrocks - can ur stock hu play cd? if can no need to change for the time being, if u want better sound, change ur front speakers to component speaker.

MiseriGhost - WoeiChyuan99 already answered your hu question. U can ask any question u want.

it looks not so solid, quality wasn't tat good enuff,will it?

i was considerin that compact woofer box too, but alot said that the sound will not be as nice as a proper box..

change ur ori midrange to VIFA's, add a pair 6.5" woofers. done. save another round to buy ur Alpine 9887 n simple 2channel amp, cost u at least 2k

Vifa : 5" MidBass

Model: NE123W

Trance, R&B, Rap, Pop, Feng Tau




how much u offering~ ??

If change a head unit and use back ur original speaker, i dun think it can improve ur car sound quality.

If change a new speaker ( 4inch speaker on dashboard or 6inch mid bass in rear door ), i also dun think can improve alot the sound quality.

Cos 4inch speaker mount on the dashboard, it is dun have a good enclosure to your 4inch speaker, so it have a short circuit problem to the sound acoustics.

My suggest is change a 2.5inch fullrage speaker with passive crossover, and custom made a a-pillar work (make a enclosure) to ur 2.5inch fullrange speaker. It will improve ur sound quality from mid range frequecny till high range frequency.


example:

a pillar job normally sets u back around 200-300 depending on how u wanna modify a pillar and materials used for wrapping a pillar.

I know this is an old thread. I just got my myvi this year and wanted to change the car audio system. My budget is around RM1500, but i'm dont have a good knowledge on car audio system. I wish you guys can advice me on what brand, shop and any idea's on how to do with the audio system. I was planning to get

-2 front speaker
-2 back speaker
-1 tweeter
-1 amp
-1 woofer

I listen to almost all kind of songs, depends on mood. So i would like a well rounded sound system that can support all kind of songs.

Thank you in advance.

hmm.. your budget is just like what I have 3years back when my budget is only 1k.. so if you dont mine having cap ayam although the SQ is not superb but its consider not bad. I have a JVC HU I think bout RM199 last time( I cant remember ) so this is what I have

-HU ( JVC )
-1component set( Scorpion brand )
-1 4channel amp( I dont even know what brand it is)
-1 woofer( Scorpion too )

But I dont know whether this cap ayam brand still exist although the AMP burned after 1year of using.

P.S: Still using the JVC HU now but I change all my other things.

Went to a shop in Taman Desa there near faber tower. He showed me a brand called massive. But the shop mostly do alpine brand. and they mostly do audio. Anyone know brand call massive?

nope...

What setup can I can for my Myvi for RM1500?
A decent setup with HU and speakers is sufficient for me.

HU - 9887/9855 used rm700+
Morel Maximo - rm700+

Then in future if gt spare cash.. do double layer soundproof around rm400-rm600..

got 1 friend reco me the DSL dont know what series...rm900 included installation + rcas... that bass quite solid~ anyonce knows the model?

let me share my mod

front 6.5" component epsilon
rear Stellar orange
Bomb Digital amp(dono wat brand)
and also rca,high n low etc stuff

total rm1200
outcome mid better than stock
bass canot wack 99

To whack the bass kao kao... your car will definitely need 12" and a suitable box. JL come into mind, and pair it with a nice amp.

But, how you gonna fetch the rims..... ?

please avoid the alpine shop at taman desa at all cost! lousy workmanship although they do sell some mid-range stuff doesnt proves that they really know how to handle and tune the thing
been there once, salesman very pandai cakap to sell the product but when comes to installation.... they just cincai help u plug and play with all the lousy workmanship

wan mod myvi ICE, go to mr.wong @ gombak u wont regret

mr wong..how much for mod the myvi door panel for 6.5" mid??

he quoted me for rm500 with isolation on door with 3 layers...if im not mistaken...

that is quite a good price

sharing mine...
im using trans rm599 package component set+ alpine type S for front.

front 4" alpine type S
rear speaker(at rear door) 6 trans +tweeter trans
bonnet 12" woofer trans...
HU imitation pioneer double din.

result? walla good enough for me. The bass really whacked me
if u sit at the back...sure u die if u had heart attack

at first just plan to get trans comp set, but since myvi froont spkr is 4" then trans come with 6". I dont want to spend rm200+ for door panel just to fit the 6" at the front...i take alpine type S 4" better

all these was done at sh@rty's shop.

1.2k burned

p/s the HU i bought earlier.

1.2 k is ok, haha, below is another myvi ride from bro okly, 1.5 myvi with some minor audio upgrade only

also 1.xk



liking the 1.5 version of myvi head unit





rear door also using alpine

more pic refer to myvi thread

myvi thread

and as for woofer, due to space concern

steelmate active sub

u change your PIONEER head unit first


actually owner thought of adding amp, but after installing the alpine speaker, listen d, say no need amp first

cause works do without and amp too, ( 5 out of 5 that came to get it try ( since myvi easy to install ) also ngam with this set. some even pay deposit first due to budget constrain

and for bro okly, lagi geng, pay deposit first even before taking delivery of his car

how gud is that front alpine's anyway?? n how much?? thinkin 2 upgrade my front 2ways 2 a better speakers too..

Scared later no stock for me so better be safe and put a deposit.

Well, clarity improved by a lot compared to stock speakers. There's a slight bass from the 4" Alpine also (what to expect since the speakers are so small) but better than the flat sounding stock speakers.

personally, i think those alpine is something good to START with, and NOT UPGRADE TO.

and by start with, i meant from your stock speakers. of course, various make of cars have various levels of stock speakers. however from the general perspective of proton/perodua, this should apply without a problem

guys i own a fl now... it has usb + mp3 supported HU.
one SA told me dont change HU first. do speaker etc first then last change HU is this true.

and how much wud u need to change nice quality speakers + 4 channel amp. may be front 2 speakers first.

someone have any good brand to recommend?

if u can afford, the hu is something that you should consider upgrade together...but if you wish to do step by step, speaker or hu will give u 50/50 ratio on performance gain. so choose either 1. For me, i would change speaker first as the stage and imaging will be a lot more better, while changing hu will only give u better sound but stage and imaging is still bad...

same here.. wana change speakers first... so inclusive of amp?

U have same situation as me. I would say replace the spks first and use amp to drive those spks. Some branded spks are power hungry and dun sound nice unless they are amped. Besides your stock Clarion HU only has 30W x 4 output power at 4 ohms.

hye guys what is the different between 2 & 3 way component? is it true 3 way component good for people who doesn't want to install a woofer? i'm thinking to upgrade my myvi speaker not that to high end speaker that has a 12" woofer maybe just a component speaker for start.

- Is it 3 way component, amp and a decent HU good enough for my car?
- do i need to change my rear speaker for a better passenger sound
- do i need to change my 4" coaxil speaker?

thnx

- subjective
- rear speaker are for rear fill, if you want to prioritize on back passenger, you may need to upgrade it
- depends on how good you want your sound/ICE to be

2 way component = tweeter + mid bass (which also handles the mids) + crossover
3 way component = tweeter + mid speaker that is usually placed near the tweeters + mid bass which only handles mid freq bass (basically 1 more speaker, separates the mid/mid bass unlike 2 way) + crossover

usually if u wanna change speaker no matter 2/3 way, the oem 4" spk just leave it. no need to touch on that.

3 way component are not meant to ppl that dun wan sub....it's more to "closer to audio nirvana"...3 way can make your system sound better especially on mid range....but provided you got a right setup..simply setup will make it worst than a normal 2 way spk.....

- i believe there's really less ppl use more than 3 way for car. so 3 way of course is good enuff...
- for most people that carry peoples, yes of course.....dun too selfish to upgrade only front...(if you got the budget)
- not necessary but it depend on your goals...if you just need slight better sound, then the 4" can be replace with good 1..

How much do you plan to spend on your ICE?

I audit a Myvi before - 2 din HU, 4" compt set and 1 woofer... very nice sound also.

Just decide how much you plan to spend, then things will be easier to recommend.

its depends what u want tho,

2 way component speaker comprises of tweeter (playing 2-3k hz and above) and mid woofer (playing from 50-60 hz till 2-3k hz)
3way component speaker comprises of tweeter(playing 2-3k hz and above), mid range (playing from 500-600 hz till 2-3k hz) and mid woofer (playing from 50-60 hz till 2-3k hz)
a woofer is always a woofer, playing very low frequencies from 100 and below

each got their own duty... it doesnt matter about 2 or 3 way, most important your setup should play from 50hz below till 12k hz and above.

our car is the hardest environment to play ice due to lotsa things that obstruct wavelength, so some ppl put 3 way to counter the problem, 3 way definitely got more flexibilities but also harder to tune.

Thanx man now i understand more. How far can i do with with 1.5k to 2k? i already have a DD clarion cx501 for a HU (not sure whether is good enough for a HU) any suggestion for myvi car? will 3 way component enough?

1.5 to 2k bro any recommendation?


thnx man really appreciate your explanation. I'm not really into big woofer in my car boot so maybe not really high bass is, good enough. Any suggestion bro with that budget?

if you are not prepared for some big money and time used to play with the icing process, then you stick to 2 way better...there's some spk can sound more than 2 way eventhough it's 2 way.

Hi guys,

I'm planning to get a component set for my Myvi...
my current setup is Kenwood DDX4058 + Kenwood Sw1 150w active sub + standard front & rear speaker....
there is a shop quote me the Alpine SPR 17S with all installation fees for rm11++....
and other shop also quote me MB Quart component (forgot which model) for rm14++...
has listened the demo unit for SPR and it sound good for me...and one of my friend has the MB Quart that sound good too but his setup is with amp...
any advise for which one is better choice of gou guys has an other option...

fyi,i like to play bass&clubbing song...
but sometimes also like to play instrument song...
try to go for SQ setup...since my budget not too strong,need to but it one by one...
next next plan will go for mono+12"sub....hehe

try to listen to more brands, look for thread about good brands

compare the speaker side by side only if you want to know which 1 better. Human are not that good in memorizing sound.

Thats the problem...cannot compare it side by side since one already installed in car + amp...
the other was demo unit in the shop without amp...

zennn,i've also listen a few demo units in that shop such as Pioneer,Rockford Power,SPS but so far SPR is the best among them...

i've also see a lot review about Focal 165V2 but haven't listened to it yet...
it will be good i can try other speaker as JL,Focal,Morel, etc before i make the decision....
but i don't think i can make it since it hard to people that using it here in Kedah....
so it will be better if there is someone that has used this speaker to give some advice...

by the way,i also play a Symphonic Metal song...
orchestra+hard guitar+double paddle drum...as Nigthwish/Epica/Metallica S&M
so the setup should be SQ + bass, right?...lol

A good Chef uses the best ingredient to cook meal for their customer.
At the end of the day who do you think the customer looking for ,the Chef or the best ingredient???

just a though.think about it...

If i were in your shoe ,I'll go looking for the good installer.not brands.why?
a good installer know what is best for budget.

Suppose he has identified the best "Chef" available reasonably close to his location. He still needs to choose ingredients, right?
I think that is his question.

Maybe the best installer has good tuning skills but lacks product exposure. Bringing in products from outside your state might alleviate that problem.
