Guys.. getting my brand new persona highline next week after weeks of delay. Wanna ask.. will changing the standard front and rear speaker improve the audio significantly? Budget around rm500 only..

RM500 for front and rear?

Would suggest better not change then... The improvement gain is not worth spending the money.

no need for rear, Rm500 sufficient for a entry level component set. Find Howiechoo, he will recommend u.

I'm driving persona B line, just add front component set, outcome is satisfy(if u r not hardcore ice, or plan to upgrade).

Some second hand component that is good should fit ur budget... Dominations or focal access comes to mind. Easy to drive without adding an amp

I'm not into mind blowing bass... as long as the sound is sweet and clear and bass in tolerable level should be enough...

I was like you too later I discover to get mind blowing bass is dirt cheap, but sweet and clear and tolerable bass is not cheap. You may have to add another zero or few more zero's

got some little promo for budget system..u might wanna have a look first....

agreed..you better find howie...i just change my component set and activ sub with him last saturday.. very satisfied with it..

tweet hpf is to limit the frequency send to the tweeter. tweeter play only mid to high frequency, if you send low frequency to it, it will burn the tweet easily....:>

Alpine Type-J is quite Suit for your budget ~ Some more sound quality is Nice also ~ No need power amp also can support ~

Just change the front component will do... much improvement from the stock speakers...

but after putting amp u will hear a different side ur speaker can actually produce and then the poison continues to flow $$$$$$

if u like bass get the Alpine....if u want pure clarity and u listen to jazz and light music get Morel maximo.....Alpines magnet is bigger can support more bass...

I got friend opening accessories shop at Kg Subang and he is selling DLS K6 2-way component system for RM588. Original local warranty unit and not parallel import (distributed by Audio World NTC S/B).

For specs, refer to this link

Can get alpine set within RM 500 ?

My usual shop recommend me to change front and rear speaker to america sound total RM550. Is it okey? What about pegasus? Actually what is the better one? Anyone can advice? cause both my speakers kaboom.. got dirty sound d

can probably change your usual shop too.

personal advice is to save up and buy something thats worth it. and if you're not into SPL, you can forget about the rear too and focus on getting good component sets for the front.

I listen to rock music and some times instrumental one... so which kind of setup advice? hehehe... I am really hoping after CNY can go to EA and get my speakers done.. dreaming of going there la.

then better if you go there and ask for howie's advice

morel maximo....howie has it as well u can demo

You don't need rear speakers, what you need is an amp and sub~

bro,, no need dream la..just drive ler...

wah howie you open shop at dream land de kah..
why no tell me...

howie's shop is the current audio nirvana... well... in a way its dream land also ma...

Will upgrading your sound system void your new car's warranty? Have you check on it?

My friend is driving a persona and I find the speakers are okay but if you're just changing the speakers only then why not change to the full sound system set.

lol i haven't reach there yet despite going to his shop so many times

you havent reach ma... howie's car reach already ma...

thats why you go there so many times...

ahhh that explains it

btw i wonder how he'll be ice'ing his new inspira

This is a very noob question so please bear with me. The car (savvy) with me is all stock. Clarion head unit, and I saw speaker holes on the doors, one for each door. So I assume there's 4 speakers. I want to get some few improvement if possible.

My idea (please forgive the noobness):
1. Replace the rear door speakers with subwoofers (small ones to fit). So there subwoofers. Is this enough?

2. Replace head unit to support MP3 USB, and together with number 1 above (subwoofers for rear).

Its because I want to keep the stock look of the interior, no adding of device like amps or crossover, because the stock don't have such. A good head unit can deliver what the amp does, say the entry level Pioneer (below RM400)?

I don't aim for much bass too (not SPL), just good cheap SQ.

Thanks for ideas!

Then just try and change HU first. Sometimes changing HU only already have some major improvement from stock.

Btw, no such thing as small subwoofer to fit into your door. Actually got la, but definitely not cheap and will also change your interior look.

The whole door will rattle very hard once the subwoofer start working. A subwoofer will require an amp to drive it, so why not place an under the seat subwoofer comes complete with an amp.

thank you MyWifeCar and newtoapple for the insights!

My suggestion
Buy the Audiophile speaker from http://www.mudah.my/li?ca=8_s&id=56615
take out the drivers unit (together with the splitter) and install it into your car

I put in a pair of Celestion speaker into my Kancil, it sound wonderfull.
