Hi all edifier users !!

I own a Edifier c3 and seriously,i hated the bass when i first got it. I couldn't try this speakers before buying because i asked my dad to buy it for me. Well, there's a few tweaks.

First : http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1314406 (follow this, our bro nismo91 has shown a very good tip for increasing bass)

Second : Rip your subwoofer and you can find a thin "red&black" wire. Replace that with higher quality subwoofer cables.

Third : Stuff the space in your subwoofer with "cotton" or "socks". This can make your bass deeper.

Fourth : Replace all your cables with good, thick cables. You find 'em in garage sales, a lot of forumers selling.

Stick a screwdriver at the side and try to lift it up : Photo 2

As you can see, i've replaced the original cables with high quality speaker cables : Photo 3

You can put some soft stuff eg"cotton", "socks" etc to make the bass deeper : Photo 4

A closer look at the cable : Photo 5

I tried the foobar befre..well..sad to say it gives mre bass at a lack of clarity

To begin with, edifier C3 is a Sound Quality speakers..it's not meant for booming from day till dawn speaker .

But i replace all my audio cables with custom made cables and my speaker sounds better and woofer more punchy..a cheap upgrade and not a risky way of doing it

But TS, do show us how to "rip" the subwoofer

TS said wana post some pictures, waiting for a long tym oredy..

I've uploaded. Please check. Thanks.

waaa good job bro!

Wondering anyone around cyberjaya/subang can help with soldering the cable with a better one?

Soldering is very easy. You can do it yourself or you can bring it to any electrical shop to get it done for a small fee.

The problem is that I doesn't know any electrical shop around and I doesn't have those soldering tools with me here. Do you able to help out buddy?

I have change my speaker cables to those self braided with cat5 cable, improve clarity but still the base is somehow weak IMO so if any of you guys could help me with soldering a better cable inside would be great.

Sure. But i'm staying in Port Dickson.

Can I stuff cottons into my subwoofer with amplifier built in one? DA5000PRO ...would it get fire? from the subwoofer magnet heat or the amplifier board?

I'm not very sure about that. Maybe you can ask the sifu's

Too bad you're so far away.
By the way, the "cotton" stuff that you mentioned would be better replaced by Polyfills. Those soft and fluffy polyster that are used for your pillow.

Hi TS, bass improved by how many %?

for me, it increased about 90%. Nice bass now

where to get high quality cable?

im using c2. izit possible to mod?

How much bass improvement alone from cable mod? Also since you open it and stuff cottons into the woofer, does the magnet produce heat? any chance to caught fire ?

i do some mods also with my c3...but not to improve the sound...only to put in cooling fan to cool the heatsink in the amp unit

I want to try this..But dunno how to start and dunno what cable should i use on it..

I've pm-ed you.

TS, according to those picture uploaded, is the cable of subwoofer is already upgraded?
I'm planning to cut part of the transparent cable(The one given to connect speaker to amplifier) to replace those cable inside the woofer, will this improve the bass quality?

The stock ones are very thin. Take the sub apart and replace them first.

Yes, you can use the transparent ones as well. Wont improve much but you can definitely feel the difference.

I'm planning to replace with the transparent one because it looks better than the black and red... but anyway I don't know much about wires, actually the transparent one is it a good quality wire?
I'm actually not sure about the price of getting a good wire and where to get them

Anyway, replacing the wire will void the warranty?

Thicker is better.

Im not sure about the warranty.

Ohh ok... where to get these good wires? and how much they'll cost? like the one u replaced does improve alot bass?

Car acc shop or garage sales. I think rm3.50 per metre. Yeah, it improves alot !

Try watching transformers movie with volume at "40" before changing and after changing the cables.

You can feel the loud thumps of the sub after changing the cables.

OMG! That is soooo damn cheap!!! Below my expectation!!!
I thought Its gonna cost around hundreds
Car Accessory shop huh... The red cable u replaced is better than the transparent cable provided by edifier?
I consider using the transparent one because it looks thicker, so long and... like so high quality... just my feeling

so just go to any audio shop and ask for the high qualiti of red and white cable?

hey nice info! i own a C3 as well, but the DIY picture is unavailable, any thoughts of uploading a new picture again?
