i am not into ice...


just recently my x-trail speakers gave up one by one


yesterday i paid a visit to the acc shop and got some things done as what recommended. i did not want something exp as i am not into ice and most of the time listen to radio/fm only

the part which is making me wonder is... the shop rec. me to put from n back components... and i did it since the x-trail had 4 speakers and i wanted to change all since faulty


front n back were installed with JBL CS-6C Speakers (6 1/2 2 way component ) rm300 each set, so total rm600.. apart from this had to pay rm38x2 for some spacers.... looks expensive

thats all i did despite some asking to add the amp n change the player.

so now the car is fitted with a component set in front and back + tweeter in front n back too

and i have just realised in this forum a component is only for the front. i kept asking the installer if ppl installed components for the back and he said it very common.


is this set up ok for normal usage? first i did not like the sound but after some playing with the player setting, managed to get something acceptable.

is the component speakers ok?

now thinking of changing the player.. will they be any improvement? my old player is 8 years old clarion DX-Z53s. cd is jammed n not working. only use the radio.

What player to get? they reco me the kenwood KDC-U453(USB, MP3,) RM360

Is this model ok and will there be any improvement? Or shall i go for a better set?

Is an amp necessary ? will it improve this set? was reco an adam digital 1200 4 channel amp@ rm520.

Kindly advise.

yup

the poison is a bit there.

i have the budget but dont wish to spend unless necessary since i am also looking for another ride.

Thanks for the advise. I will look for a pioneer perhaps. Any reco models? what about alpine?

Dont know why the shop reco a kenwood... perhaps to cut my throat.....

thanks

i will look for a pioneer.
any good shops in penang? or pj?

i dont mind pushing budget higher for a better player if the sound is better without amp

or shall i add an amp together.... lets see.

i will see if if have time to look around pj or bukit jalil. will be only there this weekend else will look in penang.

thats the issue... maybe wan to chop me into getting the comp behind. nope. the tweeter was fitted by making a hole the door panel.

btw i am not into ice so is component at the back really weird?


first i went to the shop with the intention of checking why 3 out of my 4 speakers (ori) failed. they said its the lifespan and i asked them about the components for the front. there was some cheaper brand he reco, some banana or something....but i was asking for something else/

then he mention this jbl under promo rm300

so i was ok with it... got it installed. then the sound was like from front n back (1 speaker-ori)
should have asked him to remove the back speaker but as i am a stupid icer, i ask him what about the back?
he ask to fix the same set... and i stupidly agreed. haiizz

i kept asking him if ppl installed component behind? he said is common... *&^%...

lucky i did not go with their recommended amp n player.

anything wrong with this setup?

well, i would love to join the tt but but ..... sure get poisoned..
how far is his shop from pj?

i am also not sure where to stay yet... supposingly should be pj as i will be attending a seminar at uem centre.

with this new set

i noticed more interference when using the radio

i also dunno

i told u

i a stupid in ice... maybe reception of radio ..voice like breaking

.cd player not working so cant check

today went back to the shop

they insist my 8 yr old clarion player

they mention the new player has more power n the breaking sound can be avoided... is this true?

some radio channel are ok... some r breaking....

i cant test cd since its not working.

new players have a lot of diff?

saw few models


cde1213 alpine rm499 same shop
pn2450 ub pioneer rm425


100eub alpine rm440 to rm30 install - diff shop

Added on July 5, 2012, 2:33 pmregarding the interference, the said the old ori speakers were normal ones while the new got more bass which causes interference... dunno true or not

however he said if change player can solve

i gipe up

maybe its not interference ...could be hissing from tweeter

never use tweeter before


but some radio channel super clear... so...

shall i go for the pioneer set or alpine as posted above? or keep standard

might get the pioneer 2450ub HU priced at rm420

ok or not?

saw the 5xxx model pioneer but price rm650 ... abit too high i guess.

nope

prefer try others

btw i managed to get the cd player spinning for a while, tested the sound n seems ok ..no hissing or breaking... only certain radio channels only having this prob.

just need a new player now

i miss my original speakers

it works well with radio

the current component set, only certain radio channels r clear... i am not sure why....
some channels like got hissing breaking sound.

cd and usb no problem
