Here explain a short story first:

Yesterday after car battery changed then the car audio look like lock with the volume increase to maximum 80 then only can listen little bit sound. Minimum volume is 0 & normally i m use volume 26 only.

Then i ask the workshop what happened then they informed me change car battery not affect the car audio. The root cause of car audio not function is my car audio is cheap brand & closely spoil before change the car battery.

So want to ask is my car audio is a cheap brand? My car audio is Eclipse CD 5415.

Some expert know to unlock the car audio because i go to accessories shop then they ask me go back to Chevrolet to ask due to the car audio is originally installed in the car when bought the car.

Personally I use Kenwood a several times and that is the best for me. Got some brands not in the list you mentioned... This is one almost complete list of car audio brands

I do like the Pioneer audio image in the website, anyone know where can I get one?

Hi sifus.

Just surveyed Focal/MTX/Eton component set for front setup (used MTC CTC-160 before).

Suddenly, yesterday a shop introduce me HELIX (not sure what model) price at something RM1.3K. At least he's talking some common sense and not bragging by saying some facts about MTX with the "American punch" sound and comparing with Helix; natural Germany's sound.

Need some advice.

If I go for MTX/Focal/Eton, I will spend <RM1K. But if Helix, will be >RM1K.

Apa kata sifu ICE? My HU is stock. Later (dont know when) will upgrade

Does Helix requires an amplifier to drive to perform well?
If it does and you have an amplifier, try to hear Adams Digital RUC-165.
You can try audition this component speaker if your budget stretch to around 1.4k

Things I hate when surveying - too many choices!

Bumped into an authorised MTX dealer in Penang. The funny thing is, they only have a last stock of MTX sw in their shop.

Not knowing that I was recommend to the shop by Malaysia's MTX distributor, the shop owner recommend me a DLS instead! It's a DLS C6A component set. He brags that it is away better than Helix Esprit E6X and MTX CTC-160 and will give a more "european sound" than Helix based on some worlwide championship. Tagged at RM900++.

I hate this. My narrow choice of seletion of speakers now become wider and mostly, the acc shop didnt have any demo car equipped with the speakers that I want to test.

tell the shop that sells DLS...
DLS won the championship based on the top models like scandanavia or ultimate series..
for basic series, no need to brag about it...

as for to narrow down your selections, i guess you have to join TT instead of going to shops... or if you know the shop owner well, try to sit in his customers cars...

i have known shops that said his setup is ampless, the mid bass so 99 punch... customers were impressed...
but during the CD change, there is a slight aeroplane whine... rolleyes.gif
so I dont actually trust so called demo cars... because it could be the start of the whole spending spree...
