Well, here's the strange thing. I recently "upgraded" my OEM radio/CD unit with a 2 DIN DVD/GPS HU (Motevo) and though I am delighted to have gained sat-nav, bluetooth streaming/phone & a host of others, I was very disappointed that the sound coming out from the stock speakers in my car (4 door speakers) sounded worse than the OEM unit.

Now, I know I have 2 choices or 3 (LOL), first is to of coz get an amp & 2nd is to change the speakers. I don't want to go the amp route yet so I thought a speaker upgrade would suffice for the moment. Or 3rd, I could ditch the new HU & re-install the OEM unit (LOL). The new HU is quoted at 4X50w and I am completely bonkers with all these numbers so it make no sense to me.

All I want is a clearer and slightly punchier sound so my question to all you sifus out there is, will a speaker upgrade be sufficient to give me that? And why is it that changing to this new HU gives me lousier sound quality?

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

The 4x50 is most probably Max value....

It is quite obvious as well in this instance, it is the HU problem... But to change it back to stock, it would be a waste of the function and the reason why you want to buy this HU at the first place.

But of course, the choice is yours. Change it back to stock will get what you want.

To improve with the current new HU, then you will need to spend a bit more to improve it. Get it right this time with the proper amp and speakers.

Yes, it's plug n play but the SQ produced by the HU is worse than the original HU.

Err..then can you please explain in plain english without going into all the ajinomoto stuff.  biggrin.gif

I will try with my simple english and see if I can digest what the fler said.

The Fler means, you can add amp or change your car speakers. But eventually, you might noticed that something is still lacking. Which eventually point to the direction of your HU, for its incapability to produce better sound to your speakers.

which for me, I would agree because recently I have the chance to audit 2 different cars that changed their HU.

But like what I said earlier lor, you just bought the HU. smile.gif

Is there a possibility that the OEM speakers are matched to the OEM HU thus producing reasonable SQ? Or is this just my imagination?  tongue.gif

Why I say this is because after days with the new HU and tweaking whatever settings this HU have, I've noticed that the new HU is "begging" for a better speaker. Or is this my imagination again? Looks like some new speakers are on the way.

How does it begs? Kneel down? Got do pity face mah?

Sometimes, old speakers also cannot perform with new HU... But to say OEM speakers are "matched" to OEM HU, me ROFL.

Haahah... It's ok bro, I was just joking. smile.gif

Anyway, OEM thing don't do matching and they don't really waste time to match it. It's all business dealing only and make more profits only.

You can go ahead and change the speakers, it should make a difference.
