- My ride - Myvi lagi best
- Prefer SQ
- File format/medium used in your source - MP3, USB and Bluetooth usage
- Genre of music you listen to ALL TYPE
- Setup type preferences - No idea what is this, totally newb in car audio
- Other requirements (if any) new car dont want to void warranty, dont care to entertain rear passengers

Currently was planing to get a 4" speaker for my myvi which located at the dashboard. Any recommended? budget about 300-400(MYR)

6" speaker located at backseat side door, won't so fast to upgrade 1st

save up for a good component set.

if you die die also don't want cut door panels, maybe can consult howie as he's done a lot of 4" dashboard setups. i personally can never accept those setups. laugh.gif

entry level component sets starts from around rm500-1k+, require to cut/mod door panels as they are typically with 6.5" mid/midbass

i know about this, as my friend was doing car accessory shop, he do mention what exactly you said too
But i told him what i exactly want, as my house have several brands of car. I notice that Toyota stock speaker is acceptable for me. and my Myvi was the worst stock speaker compare to others. I just want to improve to beat the toyota stock speaker. So he recommend me a Rockford Fosgate prime series, 4", forgot model. But i hope there is more recommendation get by here. As long as after changed and it is acceptable for my ears. that would be enough cool.gif
if not, then will only continue spend more on 6" speaker at rear, and add 2 more at side panels and so-on nod.gif

why not 1 shot save up and go with a component set with 6.5" door panel mounted mid/midbass speakers? why waste money for something you are already anticipating a regret with?

personally:
no to 4"
no to rockford

what can i do now, if i dont want to make a lubang at my door 1st.. it will void warranty. that's the reason i choose to change the 4" 1st.

Lennox - Howie has a verrrrrrrrry cheap and surprisingly good 4" solution for your Myvi (I assume it is). I've heard it and for the money paid for it, it's pretty damn impressive. Don't compare it with those full range component sets but if you're not fussy you should consider it for the price it's offered at.

Btw, Dynaudio's have 2 models, one model has a 8" basket and the other is slightly smaller (not sure exactly how small). Meaning that 8" mid will not fit in your door panel unless it's modified (the door panel).

Suggest you spend some time trying out different setups before deciding on one. All of the brands mentioned by Quazacolt are premiumly priced except for Boston Accoustics, Dominations, Focal and German Maestro. These brands have entry level speakers which aren't too exp. The others are in the 1.5k range and above.
