If your external antenna no issue and no wiring issue, and you are using an aftermarket headunit, then you can read on.

I tried going to a car audio shop and complain the same thing to them about my FM signal being weak.
One shop told me to install a FM booster, so I bought an FM booster.
It didn't improve...at least for me. RM60 including installation.
So sad with my wrong investment, I went to a few other shops and just talked to them while hunting for my subwoofer or amplifier (I haven't made up my mind which to buy that time).
Many say it depends.
Only one guy told me its useless. It really depends on your headunit integrated signals, meaning you need to change headunit. My problem also came when I install my aftermarket kenwood headunit.

Means your aftermarket hu is problematic?

Yes I’m still using standard factory HU. If need to change I will pass leh, will void warranty 😅

it kinda wrong la say after put subwoofer suddenly ur front speaker become clearer... even thou it happened that way..

my guess is,

whoever install ur HU did make some adjustment to boost the bass on ur front speaker. then u pasang kuat2 until the speaker semput2 clipping. u should lower the bass setting if u like to listen very loud.

when u install the underseat sub, the installer reset back sound setting on ur HU, from flat perhaps he just slightly up the tweeter freq a bit. then direct all the bass freq to ur sub.

thus u hear the clearer effect. which u can gain urself by adjusting ur HU without adding the subs but then no bass sound la.

rm850 is a lot of money. on used market can get decent amp + 12" sub + wiring & upah pasang. lagi syok ohh.

Yeah kinda overspeat a bit haha. Nvm la as long as i puas. Actually i just want the blaupunkt gtr 110 sub, then kena poison by nakamichi sub. The shops i went to say nakamichi sub bass tighter. Then test two namamichi sub 8 inch 80w rsm and 10inch 150w rsm. 8 inch is ok but it looks puny..so for just extra rm150, ok la take the bigger one. I will swap it over to my proton x50 when i buy it next year anyway. Now monitoring x50 fb page see got major problems or not for 6 months to 1 year

Oh yeah i want my boot space. Weekends i transport stuff to and from my laundry shop.

this part, that's where the tuning comes in and they work their magic ma. I not sure sure about this part tho.
But probably you are right, maybe they "filter" the low signal to front speakers. so front speakers only driving high and mids, so become clearer now

How much will tuning cost?

I am not sure ne...i paid rm850.

Lazada rm600 + delivery rm10 + wires, fuse i need rm40.

So its rm200 for installation and tuning. But this guy memang tune la. He sit inside very long in the car and quite a few times he change my sub and my hu settings. And the whole time i was there so yeAh he not just sleep in my car during the tuning.

blaupunkt used to be a decent brand long time ago but now went downhill. as for nakamichi i dont think its made in jpn anymore. brand wise should be better than blaupunkt. thats why i always opted for oldschool stuff usually made in us or jpn. much cheaper than latest stuff made in us/france. but used item comes with reliability issue. nasib la. also i like to diy my own system.

for non diy-er like urself, & summore happy with ur buy, good la. summore can save boot space.

my 1st time into car audio. go kedai accs that ppl recommend, spent 1.5k for HU, front coaxial, 4ch amp & 12" sub. its loud but the quality so-so nia. even the power cable from battery not even pure copper. its the sampah copper clad aluminium (CCA). just recently found out after i dismantle everything.

Rm200 sounds about right since installation + tuning. installation kuli biasa bole buat but tuning must at least audiophile kinda guy. usually the bos / owner or seasoned staff. it really took sometime coz need to match the clipping point between the sub & speakers. summore need to tune the sub to sound like its coming from the door speaker/everywhere. if u can locate the subs location when listening to music, the installer fail big time. for me this is the hardest task to achieve. be it in car audio or home stereo system (bookshelf speaker + sub setup).

perhaps the voltage stabilizer circuitry really lower the noise level coming from the alternator. thus making the signal clearer. since its cheap, i might try it. thanks for the input.

im thinking to do the BIG 3 or 4 upgrade. using pure copper welding cable is the cheapest solution. most people who did the upgrade said can feel the different in power. smoother ride & less or no noise signal at all. need to fork rm100-150 for big ass pure cooper cable & lug. then sendiri pasang.
