would not recommend phoenix gold...nothing to shout about

if i were u...remain on passive
do tuning first....and check through all installation...
if really kenot then only think about upgrading amps...

my recommendation is to go at least Genesis, Audio System or Steg
of coz PHD, Celestra, Brax and etc etc would be even better

i got jalan for Celestra is u wan any...
Italian handcrafted....really clean and smooth amp

hushy... the M series and the MS series from PG amps are very highly sort after in the US and europe.

noobie here, got a gen-2 cps, not planning to change the blaupunkt HU, any setup to recommend? budget about 1.5k
wat speakers, components or amp or anything..pls help n guide

use a amp with a high level input (save budget) or get something like jl cleansweep or rockford 3sixty or audiocontrol lc6/8 which will cost u more than 2k...dun ever use a hi-lo converter sold in acc shop..they are crap...lolz...but for budget wise, it's the cheapest solution for adding amp...

for ur budget of 1.5k, u can get a set of component spk first..then slowly add in other items

can contact me for info if u wish to

To all sifu around,

Would like to know, is it possible if i bridge a 4ch amp to 2ch for the front speaker and the rear speaker connect directly to the HU.
Ur advice are much appreciated..

Thank u.

yup...possible

i got a waja and i just changed my door speakers to some sony ones that costed rm 150.
not that good in bass so i was thinking of changing my rear speakers to something better and bassy.....anything to recommend? i dont wanna fit in a sub woofer due to space i need at the boot.


anyone can recommend somethng good for my rear speakers? i dont have an amp and im using the standard clairon hu

bro...sorry to say u wont achieve much bcoz HU lack of power to drive speakers properly.

you can try out the Vifa speakers that has built in amps...that will save space!

ello ICE sifus,

ok. ive been asking around alot for help in ICE. Tried readin the post, but still dun understand bout ICE.

my knowledge in ICE equals to my knowledge in addmaths(zero). I was thinkin of installing an ICE in my car. But i dunno which shop to trust, wat brand to choose, wat to ask, wat to expect, market price etc etc.

So, was hoping u guys can help me in choosing the brands and shop i should go, wat i should install and etc based on my following preference.

1) Budget less than RM1000 (not planning to go hardcore, just wanna put somethin that sounds better than my current myvi stock speakers)

2) Must be reliable and long lasting (dun want no china stuffs, rather pay for wat i get, but not too much, like a mid range brand would be sufficient)

3) Regarding woofer, and amps or channels and etc etc. Nothing fancy/expensive/big woofers, just simple and nice.

4) Also, Was wondering, my brother has this bigass woofer(with 2 speakers), is there anyway i can connect it to my new ICE?


Would appreciate ur help dearly. Have been askin Myvi Forum, they just ask me follow them go install. Aih, dunno wat they wanna install also.
Hope u can enlighten me.


Thx so much! Teh Tarik on me!

1. get a 4 inch pegasus 2way speaker and fit into ur dash - around RM250. find in garage sales

2. 4ch amp. cap ayam v12. rm180 in garage sales

3. 12" woofer - rm290 + box rm100. maybe the eclipse sw4200 in garage sales

4. wiring + install + high to low. rm300


total rm1120 and it probably going to sound like shit

why dont u save more first?

how about use the rm1000 for a better HU like pioneer 6050 or eclipse cd5100 or alpine 9855?

wei. then if sound like shit, how to install ehe.

but i think the set up u gimme is definitely better than current stock myvi sound rite? HU improves sound quality?
cos my front dashboard speaker rosak edi. how bro?

install ur setup, or get another HU?

thx!

Actually, get a cheap amp, cheap speaker and most important is better than your Myvi stock speaker. Is worth to get it. Besides not everyone are rich to spent more than their budget range and not everyone wanted pure high quality sound system.

Why will there be lower end version of sound system in the market? Is meant to enjoyed by everyone who is seeking a better system than stock does.

Here is my point of view for your Myvi system.

1. 4" 2 way speaker from Soundstream Xstream model roughly rm 150 to rm 200

2. 12" subwoofer range from rm 300 to rm 350. branded like JL Audio, Soundstream,

3. electronic crossover 3 way RM 200 to rm 250

4. wiring kit, 2 pairs of rca cable, fuse box, amp power cabling RM 150

5. Caliber Ca-5000 4 channel Amp get from auction roughly RM 300 ++

Your system should at least better than stock rather commented being sounded like shit.

almost everything in the market is better than myvi stock speaker. if you not much expectation you can install the 4" 2way speaker and use back ur stock HU. that pegasus i post before do not require much power to run so it is good for stock hu.

Added on September 6, 2008, 4:16 am1. you can get better than soundstream for that price. i highly recomend pegasus PG425, this is the best money can buy for the price
http://amerion.com.my/items.asp?model=PG425

2. JL authorise reseller personally told me there is no such thing as RM300 JL woofer, all is fake. soundstream avoid it like plague, most probably fake.

3. no need exover la. maybe a preamp will be good

Then those soundstream barring with MAT sticker at low price is fake then?

some item memang is ori but like tat 1 price, i mean cheap.. got ori sticker on it also.. so hard to say.. make sure u test and hear, if ur happy with the sound then buy it, if not then no need buy it lo.. if u think the sound produced is worth all the money u pay for then why not..~

let put it this way. for today's soundstream, ori or fake also sound like shit. get it?

thx athlonxp and jimmylim for ur advises.

hmm sound like shit, but i dun want like very good quality. a mediocre good sound system would please me veryyy much already.

4" 2way speaker- this speaker can diy install?

Thx for all ur info above, was wondering, if i head to an audio shop, will i be able to get the stuffs above at that price? or only at auctions? do u guys have any shops to recommend?

Or, any1 of u free to do? belanja yumcha or pay workmanship to u guys lar. Dun reli trust audio accesories shops.

btw, any of u guys ere installed sth similar to the set up above b4?would like to sample it.

sry for the mouthful of words, but thx for ur replies. deeply appreciated

is advisable to seek ICE shop for installation. You need to know how to remove the front dashboard speaker grill to replace the 4" speaker.

More ideal would be installing a component speaker for your front sound speaker. Get a component set with tweeter and crossover. Size will be 6.5" to enjoy good music because 4" 2 way and 6.5" component set is not much different in price. Install the tweeter in your 4" speaker space while the 6.5" mid bass at your door with custom made speaker bracket.

Then you won't felt shitty sound system as the high (voice) can hear singing in front of you while the mid at your side. But this setup is more like a sound staging.

my friend just change to kenwood kdc-mp6539u and i found it not just looks cool coz it changes color but it also sounds awesome. just sharing

hello sifu here.

I am noobie in ICE
I just installing some ICE after persuaded by the sales person, dunno good or not.
Can give me some opinion of my setup?

Case 1
Current setting
HU -Sony HV cdx-GT470ub
Front panel - Macrom 6" M3S.61 (with tweeter)
Car - Saga

the sales person ask me to forget about the rear speaker and go for amp. and sub-woofer.
Besides this , my relative agree to give me the old set of amp and sub.
Not many I knoe before i get the thing at next tuesday.
what I know is as below:-

1 sub-woofer dual
2 pcs amp...brand , channel and power still dunno
1 crossover

Case 2
my question is here, if I installing these ICE do I need install crossover as well coz my HU already have the preout for sub and low,mid and high?

I already ask the sales person,he agreed to install the amp for me.
He said need 2 set of amp wire , 2 set of speaker wire and 1 fuse ,is there anymore and what is the normal market price tfor installing it?
