I am thinking to attach a component set to the front of my Persona, keeping the rear speakers and HU on stock unit. I don't plan to include an amp. How will the SQ be like, well I expect it to be at least better than the stock speakers as it really lack of treble. As long as the new setup can deliver more clarity and deeper bass then I am satisfied.

change hu 1st =D sound quality will better alot

Persona stock HU is Blaupunkt which is quite good already
the thing is it lacks of tweeter even for H-line

changing speakers will be the right thing to do. Adding a component without amp is do-able. Find a component that is easy to drive ( high sensitivity and does not require lots of power). I can think of domination speakers (not sure about the model) and focal access a1. Heard this 2 powered by the HU only. Not bad at all

how about Pioneer?

I've in the same situation before where i didn't change my HU on my Gen 2 but i replace the stock front speaker with component,well the sound was much more better!
Btw,Pioneer alot of fake nowdays.Just let us know ur budget and we can suggest u.

na dont get pioneer. stock hu can sound quite good. just that original speaker are too plain. so get a component!

just installed a Kenwood component set yesterday

indeed a huge leap in SQ compare to stock before

could've spent a little bit more and have a bigger leap. just sayin

happened to you?

maybe because u only visit cash and carry shop?

oso happen in my place .... more 1 thing is when customer interest to a speaker and test it ! do you know what the shop seller say "IN MALAY":angry: ( mau beli baru boleh test , kalau tidak jauh sikit )

at times we cant reli blame the seller, of course it depends on how the customer requested to test.
some would say wanna test this test that..

without any clear direction.. eg, testing something as low as rm 100 to rm 2k.. ( get wat i mean? )

ok if, customer have things in mind, like either going for this 2 product, wanna test and compare

last know my friend wanna add a pair tweeter to he mom car stock system , at that time my friend look in the shop and interest about 2 brand . after hear the seller talk like that very disappointed !

just be careful when purchasing these products. maybe you can bring along a experienced friend when visiting these shops and dont make any rush decisions. or just buy from a reputable seller if your friends could not help.

are you from kl? if you insist on buying from shops from kl, then you might want to pay howiechoo a visit. but give him a call before going. their business sometimes might be like free fries from mcd, which everyone rush there.. haha..

I bought a pair of SOny component speaker from a friend and it is 5.25". But later found out from the technician that my Proton BLM front speaker dimension are 6". Can it still attach with the 5.25"? WIll be using back the original speaker at the back and no amp. Planning to add tweeter also. HU is the original clarion came together with the car. What do you guys think on the SQ? Please advice. tq

yes u can, just add wooden baffle on the door for speaker mounting

not much SQ la with sony speakers and standard HU, no amp... just a bit better than standard

Thank you zenn..
