Hi plan to install 2 tweeters on the front WITHOUT removing the stock 4 speakers to improve sound quality. Any good brands can recommend? Currently driving myvi SE 1.5 comes with navi system. Would there be a lot of wire cuttings and pulling where would they install the tweeter? Would it affect the navi system or void warranty? If so any other ways to improve without altering the original stock speakers? Thanks a bunch!

Oh yeah most important budget anything below 500

Any good brands to recommend? Changing the entire system is cumbersome and expensive so still just to add the tweeters will do. I don't think the new myvi 4 speakers is that bad...

just change the head unit to something better and u'll get nice treble and bass combination..
most important is the player u're using, after that is speakers..

A tweeter is a loudspeaker that reproduces only higher audio frequencies. Because it is limited to high frequencies, a tweeter must be combined with speakers that reproduce other frequencies in order for the full range of recorded audio to be audible. The average tweeter outputs frequencies from approximately 2,000 hertz (Hz) and above. 20,000 Hz is considered to be the upper limit of human hearing, but some tweeters can produce frequencies even higher.

A full-range stereo or home theater system uses at least one other speaker in conjunction with each tweeter to produce a full range of sound. In a 2-way speaker, the high frequencies, also called treble, produced by the tweeter are paired with a speaker known as a woofer that reproduces low end or bass frequencies. More complex speakers use other drivers in addition to the woofer and tweeter to reproduce midrange frequencies. In home stereo speakers, the tweeter and other drivers usually share a common enclosure. In some car stereo systems, however, each component may have separate housing to provide additional flexibility in directing the sound.

Hm so meaning I'm giving up the stock 6" nagi system and need a new whole system altogether and that would probably cost a few thousand bucks?

budget 500 can get an entry component set including installation d.

You can't just add a tweeter(even tho it is possible) but it does not have any effect nor improve the sound quality.

The head unit doesn't has the function to split the frequencies.

bumping old thread.
changing speakers will not void vehicle warranty. speakers will not improve the bass if your HU does not able to push it. however, it does help to improve clarity.

howie is mainly pointing out that the speakers are much worse than the HU, and couldnt produce what the HU is capable of (despite it being subpar regardless)

Due to my stock HU the sound quality is good in term of clarity but in bassy way it suck. there is no bass at all. well then i put amplifier and pre-amp it look a little bit better but if u want to hear in high volume it become suck again the sound hear like plastic sound, i spend almost RM1k for that.. i learned a lesson, the important things is change the HU to a better one than followed by speaker and etc if u want a awesome moment while u in a car.

adding tweeter u need a crossover unit to cut off the low pass filter, in the end the cost near to a cheapo component speaker.
might as well get a cheapo component speaker that bring u clarity / mid bass / richer sound ???

u spend 1k for all that and i will probably say wat u getting is a damn clappy install and tune.

even with ori headunit, there's a decent sound can be achieve if all other things are done right.

Than it depends on your budget, for sifu here,some would spent 1k just for an amp ..

as for my customer based, many are more than happy with just a budget 4 channel amp and 12" sub which cost you around 6xx. But of course, u need to get the front speaker change too biggrin.gif

Im commenting on this thread after many years it had been abandoned.. btw, my myvi lagi best never had any speakers replaced or changed, everything are stock speakers, HU, and all. Not even an underseat subwoofer installed. But the bass it gives now is nearly amazing. I said nearly because it doesn't produce enough lowest bass range as much as I want that it vibrate my butt. So how did I do it? You only need to tweak the sound setting in HU. Set max bass to 7 and treble to 2. Then I suggest you don't play songs from radio, use any pendrive you have and put your high quality favourite songs in there, then bam! Everything sounds clear and a bit bassy. A bit? Yeah, it will only be a bit bassy, not until you go back to setting from home page, and set the bass to 7 and treble to 2 again. This will cause the HU to overlap the max bass setting, hence causes the settings for bass to become double the bass than what the max bass setting should produce. In the end, you got to play songs using pendrive with a super bassy sound produced from your speaker. But then again, I suggest you do some sound deadening on your door especially the metal panel inside because this will improve the mid bass a lot more. Dont forget to soundproof any rattling sources.

I wanted to upgrade my Myvi Gen3 Sound system and I was introduced to ALOT of speakers...
but now I'm having difficulty in choosing between 2 Options...

1st Option - KENWOOD KFC-XS1703 Speaker with PIONEER TS-WX130DA SLIM UNDER SEAT ACTIVE SUBWOOFER

2nd Option - Pioneer TS-Z65CH Speaker with Pioneer GM-A6704 4 Channel AB Amplifier

Anyone who knows about Speaker would give me your recommendations?
