Hi guys. Super newbie here when comes to ICE
was planning to upgrade my speakers on my Perodua Axia. Stock size is 5" (13cm)
any suggestions? looking for component.
2 way /3way... (dont think have for 5")
budget for the speakers 1 pair.. around 500

Thanks


p/s is there any thing like an adapter or something to fit in bigger speakers? from small to big.

Interested in this.

If 6.5", I think you need to cut a lil bit of the door metal to make it bigger

For 5" and your budget, I think plenty of brand and Focal/Morel can too.

Just as an example. 130mm is 13cm, right?

What reading materials? Don't buy audio products by reading, go listen then decide.

What kind of music do you listening to? What is your source of music, MP3/Radio/Bluethooth/iPod etc?

Bluetooth or Aux/ MP3 and radio.
I guess reading materials is the wrong term..
I meant like source, or web links to find out more bout the products available

Not sure if those information is available... Even if you can find online, doesn't mean Msia will have it.

Just recommend a few brand for you to start with, which is available in Msia or at least KL/Selangor.

Focal/DLS/GM/Morel

Axia front & rear doors are 6.5" in actual measurement, they just covered them with the metal buffer frame, that's all

6.5" then you would have more or better choices.

Generally the depth should be pretty standard, very little chance that it won't fit.

Add Dominations Audio into the list of brand you can go and look for.
