Today i bought a nakamichi 10inch 900w, rms 150w underseat active subwoofer.
Total cost rm850 including installation and tuning the subwoofer.

My setup.
Kenwood BT304 headunit
Front speakers Alpine SPJ-161C2 type J, coaxial 2 way speaker
Rear speakers Swissline 6x9 2 ways speaker
nakamichi NBF10.2A, 10" 900w, rms 150w underseat active subwoofer

Improvement.
Clearer vocals. Clearer voice clarity since now my front speakers not overworked. Bass become subwoofer job. The bass...omg got the clean tight punch DUB DUB DUB tight tight punch. Can feel the bass punch your buttocks if u sit at the passenger seat. Me likey. Not like cheapo subwoofer BOOM BOOM BOOM muddy punch..like the m*Q super cheap underseat subwoofer.

Overall..very syok. No more distortion unless i push the volume to almost max which is very very loud for me anyway. Totally worth the investment. Next upgrade is to install a full range 2" tweeters at the dashboard and my setup will be complete, for a budget setup at least.

Breakdown cost:
Headunit rm195 (lazada)
Alpine front speakers rm199 (lazada)
Swissline rear speakers rm220 (shop)
Installation and wiring 1 (headunit, front and rear speakers) rm250.
Nakamichi underseat active subwoofer rm850 (include installation and tuning)
Total so far RM1714

Mana ada wrong. Kopitiam is my place to log all my car's modifications.

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.

Same as my previous MTX mercury component speakers. X jemu panas pun, but before warranty finish both speakers problematic already. The glue peeled off.
Somemore mine is confirm original MTX.

My antenna already very panjang at outside of car wor...

I good boy. Also its not behind car big box subwoofer where whole car shaking (LOUD) and outside can hear clearly.
Mine is just tight bass and a bit loud. But outside not so kacau except if beside my car when my volume over 20. sorry la motorcyclist

Wah yours considered mid high range already.
How much total costs? RM5k?

Bought last year during lazada promo. Now no more this price.. shopee now is RM298.

Previously my front speakers need to handle low end bass also. So my front speaker not getting enough power from my HU (no external amplifier). So sounds more teruk lo.
Now my active subwoofer has its own amplifier built in, so it handles all the low end. My front speaker only handles high and mid. So my HU still can supply enough power to the front speakers, but still not enough for full volume. Full volume will have some clipping sound, if your ears sensitive you can hear it. Clipping sound means not enough power supplied from HU to speakers. But now the quality for the loudness I required is more than enough for me, so I'm satisfied.
This is what I understand from the installer la.

sometimes no drive also.
But now when want rempit, I put eurobeat I can jizz already. DUP DUP DUP DUP!!

Spend so much already, upgrade la the stock HU. sure make difference

You buy and ask them install, or you bought all from them? Can breakdown the cost ah?

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 the shop charges you for all the cables, workmanship, installation and tuning?

Oh, you are into tuning car audio too?
I don't know much of these things, so just pay people to do for me

I not so much into wooooof woooof woooof pump.
I am more into DUP DUP DUP pump. to me this is tight punch.

Or you have and example of a youtube video to demonstrate what you mean?

Min Zone at Bayan Baru.
You are into ice too? What are you planning to upgrade?

Oh you play SQ. I also like SQ la, like the voice clarity, but also prefer the DUP DUP DUP bass.
So imma kinda SQ and SPL a bit.

Sentra b13 only. Not serena

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.
