Hi All,

New to this so hopefully can get some good advise

Currently have a Fortuner 2005 model. Still has its factory installed sound system. Wanting to upgrade it so need some recommendation.

Some key requirements would be
- USB port - Most headunits nowadays supports USB
- to support rear & front camera (this is being planned at a later stage installation unless can get it all together at a good price) - Getting any latest Double Din DVD headunits will include this option
- Needs to integrate with Steering wheel controls - Pretty common function/add-on nowadays
- CD player - multiple slots would be better - You mean CD Changer?
- if possible non touch screen - You want Navigation but don't want a Touch Screen?
- built in navigation (hopefully its not to difficult to keep it up to date) - the mid to higher end models mostly support Navi

I like to put my music out loud at times especially when i am driving long distance so would like to sound not to crack. Sound quality is important to me

Would adding a rear tweeter be good? The current front ones are also factory standard.

Hope to get some good advise on options and pricing available so then i can decide how much to save up for it i rather install a good piece once then keep replacing it because of poor quality

Yes if possible to have a built in changer. The factory model has a built in changer unlike the off market type where the changer is separate from the main unit.

The reason if possible to avoid touch screen is while driving it's easier to feel the buttons plus my father also drivers this car and has big fingers so need to make it easier

What's types of units are recommended n what are the price ranges?

I am a super duper trooper noob regarding car audio system. Whenever I want to buy gaming PC, macbook, headphone, dashcam etc, I know where to refer to. However, so far I have no idea of where to start with car audio system.

I have an old Proton Waja manufactured in 2006. Since few years ago, I noticed that the sound produced by the car speakers has become dimmer. I assume that the speaker is decaying (please correct me if I am wrong).

So far I window shopped in few car audio system shops, from big shop like brothers to small shops, but I have no idea how to choose a suitable model.

Few days ago, I window shopped in a small shop in Banting, Selangor. The shopkeeper recommended me 2 brands, which are:
1) Herts (the shopkeeper said this is an Italian brand).
http://www.hertzaudiovideo.com/
2) German Maestro (the shopkeeper said this is a German brand).
http://www.german-maestro.de/Englisch/Products/

Beside this, that shop also sells common Japanese and local brands.

I have no idea which brand to choose. That shopkeeper told me to inform him my budget, then he will choose the suitable brands and models within that range.

The shopkeeper told me that I can keep my existing Clarion radio (Head Unit) and only replace the speakers.

Instead of replacing all the speakers at one time, the shopkeeper told me to start with the replacement of the front speakers and add 2 tweeters. Once I am satisfied with the front speakers and tweeters, then I can come again to his shop to replace the rear speakers. Then, I can come again to that shop to install power amplifier and sub woofer if I want.

However, I think I still should have some basic knowledge regarding good rands and model instead of walking into a shop and choosing the model blindly based on salesman's recommendation.

Your signature doesnt sounds like ur a novice bro.. 

Guys, I have 1 question.

The the Hertz and German Maestro front speakers that were recommended by the tauke are 6.5" size but my the door speakers in my Proton Waja is 5.25" size. The tauke told me that drilling is needed if I want to install the 6.5" size speakers on the door of my car.

If possible, I would like to avoid unnecessary drilling. If it is difficult to find the 5.25" size Hertz, German Maestro, or any other model in the Malaysian market, can I just install the 6.5" size by using any kind of adapter to avoid unnecessary drilling?

Thank you.

Understood. I tried to survey some brands on lazada, mudah, lelong, 11 street etc., but most of them are 6.5 inch. If I still want the 5.25 inch, I have no choice but to purchase through ebay or amazon.

All right. I hope those shops do sell the 5.25" size because I would like to avoid unnecessary drilling and trimming.

Btw, 1 nice guy PMed me to recommend the Focal brand. I have gone through the website & think that it is also a good brand. Please feel free to inform me if there is any other good brand :-)

Beside that, I also go through the JBL website to see their car speaker product because JBL is also a well known brand for domestic application (headphone, earphone, portable bluetooth speakers etc.).

I have emailed all the Malaysian authorised distributors for Hertz, German Maestro, Focal, and JBL to ask whether they do import the 5.25" size component speakers or not. If they don't, then I have no choice but to find other brands (or proceed purchasing on ebay/amazon).

Sorry, I forgot to answer your 2nd question. My budget is less than 2k for front 5.25" component speakers + rear 9" x 6" co-axial speakers.

Waja's rear speakers are at the rear board, not the door. I was told that Waja has 2 versions of rear speakers, which are:
1) 6" x 9"
2) 6.5"

Today I went to Elegance Audio for window shopping. The tauke checked my car and said my rear speakers is actually 6.5". All this time I mistakenly thought that my speakers was 6" x 9".

The tauke at Elegance Audio claimed that there is no need to drill new holes and trim the body panel if I switched from 5.25" to 6.5" speakers. He said I only have to put an adapter/spacer (Will be given free by the shop). In addition, I have to replace the speaker grill because the original grill won't fit the 6.5" speakers (no drilling is needed for the new 6.5" grill).

If I still want to install the 5.25" speakers on my front door, co-incidentally at this moment Elegance Auto have the last stocks of HSK 130 (Hi Energy 5.25" component speakers) and HCX 130 (Hi Energy 5.25 co-axial speakers). Tauke said Hi Energy is an old series and the production had been stopped. However, the original rear speakers for my car is 6.5" - this means I have to  HCX 130 (Hi Energy 5.25" co-axial speakers) with a 5.25" to 6.5" adapter. The tauke said he doesn't have the stock for HCX 165 (Hi Energy 6.5" co-axial speakers). I will survey if other shops has the stocks of (Hi Energy 5.25" component speakers) combined with HCX 165 (Hi Energy 6.5" co-axial speakers).

One of the youtube video that I watched advised us to installed the speakers with the same series on our car. For an example, if I installed the Hi Energy series in front, it is advised for me to also install the Hi Energy series on the rear. This means that if I want to install a subwoofer, I should also purchase the Hi Energy series. Since the tauke said the production for Hi Energy has already stopped, I have to check whether the sub woofer for Hi Energy series is still available in Malaysia or not.

If I still want to have a combination of 5.25" components for front speakers and 6.5" co-axial for rear speakers, the tauke recommended me to go for German Maestro because co-incidentally Elegance Auto have the stocks for CS5008 (Concept 5.25" component speakers) and CC6508 (Concept 6.5" co-axial speakers)
Co-incidentally, there is also a shop beside Elegance Audio named In Car Audio that sells JBL. I also stop by at In Car Audio for window shopping after visiting Elegance Audio. In Car Audio has stocks for JBL 5.25" component speakers and 6.5" co-axial speakers. I do agree with you that JBL targets different type of customers because the most expensive JBL speakers that I saw at In Car Audio is RM700++. I saw some German Maestro and Hertz in Elegance Audio that is around RM2500++ and I believe that are not the most expensive speakers German Maestro and Hertz in Elegance Audio.

I will also visit Vozaudio and Xciteaudio for window shopping before making decision. Vozaudio also sells Hertz and German Maestro while Xciteaudio sells Focal and JBL.

I messaged Xciteaudio asking whether they have the stocks for 5.25" components speakers or not. They replied saying that they only have the stocks for 6.5" speakers. They also said that there is no need to drill new holes if I want to replace my 5.25" speakers with 6.5" speakers.

Understood. Btw, I have 1 more question. If another shops wants to sell their HSK 130 (Hi Energy 5.25" component speakers) and HCX 130 (Hi Energy 5.25 co-axial speakers) at the same price of ESK 165 (Energy 6.5" component speakers) and HCX 130 (Energy 6.5 co-axial speakers) because that other shops wants to clear their old stocks, should I grab it? That other shop os also trustworthy seller, plus 1 year warranty will be given, just like other products.
