Are yours the one who went to EA recently? Focal front, german maestro at rear?

Whatever it is...but as long as no wire tempered, warranty will stay. Unless your installer cut the audio cables instead of using an universal socket converter from the bosch into Pioneer HU system.


Stock speakers are too normal to begin with.
I have invested in ICE on CFE too.

Which mean they might tempered all the wire, u lose the warranty most likely. What HU u change to?
Small area sifu, usually they won't include the adaptor (as most customers will want them to give it free, unless customer willing to pay for it, around RM80 each)

As long as the 8 band EQ being properly tuned, it should sound good still.

Pioneer local distributed unit should come with 3 years warranty.

Yes, it is.

DRL designed mainly to counter mist condition happens in Europe even during day time, this is to increase the vehicles visibility throughout the days. A safety measure rather than cosmetic actually.

Changing speakers will not void the warranty.
Even changing the headunit won't, if it being done properly.

Depend on your budget actually.
If you on tight budget, just replace the front speakers with a decent component speaker. I could not recommend any models though, not familiar with the market trends though. Try ask around but you better look for something that the stock HU can drive up, else you will need an amplifier to drive the component speakers to its full potential.

A bit more budget, perhaps component speakers + 4 channels amp + subwoofer (active or passive)?
If budget allow more, head unit + component speakers + 4 channels amp + subwoofers (active or passive).

If you much more budget, get something with active setup.
(headunit with built-in crossover, time alignment + component speakers (minus the crossover) + 4 channels amp + subwoofer (active). If you want to go for passive subwoofer, add in another 2 channels from amp just for the subwoofer. Either 6 channels amp or 4 channels + 2 channels or 4 channels + monoblock amp.

Oh ya, ignore the rear speakers. You don't really need it. Either you unplug the wire or fade everything to front.
Unless you watch movie in the car, else I dun see any reason for surround setup.
For those who aiming for SQ setup, High-Mid-Sub (Tweeters, Midbass, Subwoofer) is the way to go

* Component speakers will require 2 channels from amp to drive it up.
* Passive subwoofer will need 2 channels from amp to drive it up
* Active subwoofer comes with built-in amplifier, you dun need to allocate any channels from amp for it.

Do not polish the car, unless your clear coat is badly damaged/

Look for some package where they can clay your car, and then wax it. Then it shall look shiny again.

You need to clay first before wax.

The recommended procedure will be wash - dry - clay - wash - dry - wax...
Can take up to 4 to 5 hours in total for a proper process....

Budget ?

Certainly you can. That's the cheapest way to get decent audio quality.

Then you are into SQ like I did....I have spent a lot though...
SQ is an expensive territory....

You have two options actually, get a component speaker set that does not require much power to drive up, something where stock HU can manage it. Else you will need to include a 4 channel amp to drive it up.


arthur88, can't do much. Perhaps just add in a pair of tweeters?



Saw this in automotive garage, other sellers are selling it over RM750 without installation.
Do you guys want to give it a try? Never listen to a Morel Maximo b4
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2607822&hl=

Focal Access 165 vs Morel Maximo 6.5, both of this component speakers selling around RM750, a comparison is over here.

I'm not sure of those far cheaper component sets which selling around RM200 to RM400 but I won't invest on that, I'm sure you will upgrade again in the near future.

Seriously I doubt those setup can bring into a decent SQ setup, unless you found good component speaker set at RM90? I doubt so, even if it used.

A decent SQ unit shall comes with a good component speakers set, a decent 4 channels amp, a subwoofer. Else to me, that's still far to be said as a complete SQ setup. At least a decent componen speaker to start with.

SQ setup can produce SPL output, but not vice versa.
Visit EA Autoworks for some suggestion?

A good component speakers, 4 channel amp, a subwoofer in the boot, done.
You might not need to focus a lot on clarity for the component speakers, then u can lower done your budget by a bit.


Again, SQ isn't just about oldies....

That should be excluded the insurance premium etc. You gonna pay RM2k++ for it.
I doubt many stock of year 2012 Preve left. If you found one and have the intention to buy, do it fast.

RM72999 does include insurance etc.
But I have seen several scheme about 7k discount, they usually take off the insurance premium etc to get your attention.
When you approach and buy the car, then you may know the real story. If they really offer you 7k from 72999 with insurance premium, take it.

Just check with the interest rate then. If you are getting something 2.8% and below, please grab the offer asap.
It is something not to be missed, very good deal.

As long as you get all the warranty booklet etc, your warranty will intact. There are not grey-imported Preve in Malaysia, no worry.

earthdome, most of the cars being tested and driven above 100km/h in Tanjung Malim plant.
Visited several assembly plants before and all of them practiced the similar way.

So to me, its ok to rev the car

Most of the shops will not cut any wire.
Most of them will just tap the camera wire on the original wire.

Anything below RM300 should be a great deal.

tineagle, try polish it off and tell your that's not very obvious to be seen.

Estimate minimum RM200 or more per bumper, depend on the painting material they gonna use.
If I were you, I will only respray when there are more scratches
Bumper is plastic, will not corrode like metal.

Butt dyno or with an accurate stopwatch?
8.1 is near to Golf TSI 1.4 0-100km/h of 8s
