Bought it from HT audio long time ago

No la...entry level only...

Anyway nice Waja bro ur driving....

This week i will trying to upload sound when using this speaker...

no wonder i heard something like shutter sound when working on it..lolz....

thanks for coming...finally u get the way to here...

here's a little map for reference

This thread started today and i was whole day over there today. Damn update man...haha. Good job howie, I'll find out your secret weapon soon..lolz.

Damn secret recipe lar tis fellow, workmanship was quite good...cheers bro.

another happy user. got my Alpine 110EUB & Dominations component done at EA by howie too.

thx. i heard ur door sound when close, damn nice. the soundproof does effect that damn sound. my myvi

which one is u? the satria guy or the wira a/b guy?

lol that "dampened" heavier door closing feel instead of the bright metal "slap"?

Yup. Compare to my own myvi
Sometimes cannot even close properly hahahaha
Too light maybe

Who that Satria guy ha? When want to audition with howie...that fella coming together inside my car....my wife not very comfort already...hahahaha...he always around2 that area....

According howie, that weight sound campening for 4 door around 10kg....

I'm wonder how the sound if we put all door like this?

keep update your tread ! nice sharing .....

not satria but wira a/b. that satria guy is busy look at drex. he has a problem with his right rear brake.
that wira guy was there mayb after 2 or 3 pm. while i was in serdang jaya to fix the extractor. coming back to change my horn

shite, total around 10kg?
that's just for the door

This post has been edited by Azuma-kun: Dec 29 2010, 04:30 PM

yeah...that satria guys keep busy body...

For sound dampening not until 10kg la...still can closed car door...

aih...want to find howie back later but don't know when...want to put some amp....

if i know u it's LYN forumer...sure i'm approach u...

What to do. I'm not too sure but i'm very positive in my mind, this guy must be someone from lowyat.
Just that i dont really want to disturb u. Wife ur preggy wife and daughter summore.
Btw, u're coming from where since u sesat ady

That not my daughter la but my boy...

I'm coming from Cheras..actually i'm already see that map but that day i'm blur until lost to Puchong....but i'm trying to find it and later call howie.....tadaa..not until 5 minutes from Carrefour Sri Petaling, i'm already found his place....

Oh..ya ya. forgot already.
Oh..from Cheras. Same with me.

Now that car with my wife at KL....not fully utilised yet since i'm working at Kuantan right now....waiting i'm coming back to KL on this week....want to try some burn in....

the dampening around 5-7kg only la...i say 10 to scare u ma..lolz :>

but to those who scare sound deadening adding weight to car, better just take a look inside your car, most of the time u can just lighten ur car with 10-20kg things that u dun really need to use.

larry is the city guy.....he came yesterday, not monday :>

wira is our old customer that are also a audio freak...he's just curious on the new setup because he also own a myvi.....no hard feeling 1 la...:>

Oh...but i really like have a chat with that wira guy. Alot of things can be talk about.

Okey howie...not hard feeling that ur old customer...hehehehe...he also asking permision to me for testing..but wife feel not very comfort maybe because she pregnant....

Eh...when did i became the city guy ? Im the BLM guy, i went 1 day ahead then. lolz

sorry type..lolz......i keep thinking city in my mind..dunno why

This post has been edited by singchaii: Jan 5 2011, 10:03 PM

Just had changed my HU.

HU Pioneer DEH8350 (my option)
speakers maestro CS 6508 concept (recommended by him)
Voltage Stabalizer

Howie is very pro. He tries to Understand what I wanted and recommended me what I needed. Even explain some terms and what I should do next. He didn't push me to buy buy buy.

I will surely recommend my friends to look for him

Added on January 9, 2011, 2:44 pmand it's harder to renovate as the shop are not built for this field..look at the bmw service and u will know.....

tell me bout it.. wanna upgrade my speakers 4 so long already now, but have 2 postpone coz budget already went sumwhere else

I think for RM500, we can get the door speaker holder+component set.
Add another RM600 for HU and the HU bracket. Not included installation. Only my guess.
But for me, better to do it all at 1 go. Easier+time saving.

This post has been edited by Azuma-kun: Jan 10 2011, 12:50 PM

stepping into EA workshop will get u poisoned for more ICE equips. Juz changed my comp set yest and now thinking of amp and sub liao. XD great workmanship from howie, very recommended.

yeah, i know.. theres a shop here offering me free 2ch amp if i take component set from him.. ive already upgraded my HU, so now thinkin of a component set + 4ch amp + woofer.. planning 2 spend bout 2k on it, but not now laa..

Buy component free amp?

yeah, but it isnt a very gud amp.. juz a simple china brand 2ch..

This post has been edited by CooShyRee: Jan 11 2011, 09:12 AM

Sabar bang

Tengah sabar la ni...

aku phm perasaan ko

aku pon tgh sbr gile je nie, menuggu budget ade.. as soon i have 2k, gonna do it

Mind to share more detail on this? Price, apa brand comp set ngan amp.....lastly which shop?

dah cakap kan? XD

well, i failed at being patient, if you checked the dates in my thread, and what i've planned to resist, i completely failed that LOL

quite a no of brands n models 2 choose from, i wasnt really paying attention coz not interested 2 do it that time coz not ready 2 sacrifice touchin my door panels.. lastly, im in kuching, so the shop is in kuching..

well, buy spk free amp or buy amp free speaker gimmick is everywhere. you buy a low cost item at higher price and then they give u another low cost item to compensate your feeling making you feel worth it.

which shop in kuching?

i dont mind having an extra amp to work with in the lab...

yeah.. thats wat i thought too.. i guess u know better, ure the expert here

Haha.. Howie's poison is too strong isn't it? Luckily I only left a HU.. Going to take P80 from him then my setup is complete.. Hehe..

there's a lot sifu here...i just enter only :>

Maestro concept, proud of it. Does the dynamat makes it nicer? You didnt recommend me dat time. My left door got abit steel rattling sound when the bass kick in. Need u to rectify on my next trip.

well, sound deadening is of course nice to have as it improve your overall sound quality and spl ability :>
when the bass kick in with better speaker, most oem door wont take the hit...some wont even take their oem..

cant 1 time recommend u too much ler...later u scared...ice are about everything in car....

Why the German thingy sound so....... ...... ..... ..... nice one?

I want one also!

...Damn, all those ICE poison are really hurting me... Mentally, physically and of course, financially ~

haha...
feel like i make d wrong decision...?
btw...
i'm ok wif domination rs component oso...
as howie suggested...
but dis oso nice...
hopefully i nv make d wrong decision...

actually every decent spk are nice just depend on how much you can utilize it.....you haven learn to tune ur system, so it's not yet to your liking....

Added on January 12, 2011, 8:06 pmOT: does anyone saw a tv in the first pic ikan semilang posted with me inside, there's a 32" wide screen CRT tv..who know where can i send for repair?

This post has been edited by howiechoo: Jan 12 2011, 08:06 PM

why he use standard HU can have so nice sound? Why my 1 cannot get this sound de?

I should have gone for Concept instead of Alpha. A bit regret. I have had to complement my ICE with some nice amp and subwoofer next coupled with the sound insulation next visit.

The rs is my fav too... was one of the car for competition in sgp... That one better don't jump in... poison also.

I think ur car need to do dampening and squeeze more juice out...

This is what I worry. haha. Cause i really very interested at SQ now and wanna get the voice as clear as possible. Haha..

Old customer is me

Aisay.. you should have told me. I would have respected your wife's discomfort and not gone in the car.

All the same your setup is pretty damn nice. Should wait for the thing to be run in lagi chun

Take a note : Maestro carry warranty for 3 years....in 1 years u can claim direct to shop and after that need claim with Vozaudio. Please keep receipt for claiming purpose.
