Recommended store for subwoofer / dashcam, Subang, PJ?

99problems — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 16:01:40 +0800

Hi all.
Looking to get underseat subwoofer and installing dashcams front and back. Where would you recommend to go to, and what's a budget I should set aside? Nothing fancy, affordable range suggestions please...

Currently, i only have front dashcam but it's dying constantly, so need to replace, and no rear dashcam.
How would the rear dashcam work? Would it replace the reverse camera? (car is HRV 2015)

Type of DSP/ Set up For Car Audio,

EddyHyip — Fri, 06 Jun 2025 18:01:07 +0800

My current car has a rather strange speaker size arrangement. Currently, I am using an Android head unit sending sound to 6 speakers i.e.
- 2 x 3.5 inch coaxial speakers at the dashboard
- 2 x 6/9 coaxial speakers at the front door card
- 2 x 3.5 inch coaxial speakers at rear pillar (near to cargo door, it is an SUV).
- 1 Alpine active subwoofer at the cargo area

All of these speakers were already upgraded to JBL club series. After installing the speakers and subwoofer, I find the music too sharp and the bass is harsh (feels like not properly moderated, either too hard or too boomy...). The EQ in the Android head unit is a joke...

I am not planning to change to component speakers after already spending so much upgrading to same type/ size speaker but better brand. That leads me to considering amplified DSP (e.g. Alpine unit?). For my current set up, I am not sure if DSP will help and if 6 channel output is good enough?

In my mind, use 6 channel dsp to filter out high freq for coaxial at door card, and filter out low freq for smaller coaxial at dash and rear pillar… sort of ‘component’ style? Does it work that way?

I enjoyed good sound system but not too picky about it... e.g. I am happy with 50% of Volvo XC40 Harman Kardon level but don't have to go until Volvo XC60 B&W level.

Hope to hear your advice and suggestions.

Carrozzeria satellite speaker? OEM and original,

kesuki17 — Mon, 05 May 2025 10:19:03 +0800

Recently stumbled upon a pair of satellite speakers priced around RM100+, but I noticed a similar model from japan goes for about RM400+. Are these the original products or just OEM version? I know the low price might be a red flag, but could the price difference just be due to distributor or regional pricing? And does the sounds comparable?

New speaker has lesser bass than original,

sam04563 — Fri, 16 Aug 2024 22:57:56 +0800

Hi to all sifus here,

I have recently replaced my front original speaker with Coaxial (MOHAWK M5-625P2 V2) in Myvi G3. All the other stuffs including head unit is still in original condition. No DSP, no AMP, no woofer.

After installing it, i hear lesser bass compare to original speaker but of course the mid and high range sound is better.
I can hear better sound quality(all three low/mid/high range sound) if i keep my head near to steering wheel position. Otherwise, it has only vocal and high range sound but very minimum bass. It is like the sound remains in leg room cant reach out to passenget.

I had played around with the equaliser high Hz on low and high range while mid range keep it slightly lower than 0. Overall shape like a U.
I have also tried adjusting the sound to front or rear only. The result is original speaker has more bass but bad in vocal while OEM speaker wise versa.
Currently, i set it to F4(max is F7) to play hits song while R2 to play Remix.

I am planning to upgrade the sound system by stages including install head unit-->soundproof-->upgrade all 4 speaker+ additional tweeter and woofer--> add amp if needed.
At first i wanted to change the all 4 door speakers with budget OEM speakers before starting my progress. At the end, i choose to change coaxial first because there is too many OEM brands out there and I am not sure about the mohawk speaker quality.

I understand that with only 2 OEM speakers it wont help alot much to improve the sound quality. What confusing me is i like getting lost after changing the OEM speaker. As the low range sound is very soft, not wanting to have as good as with woofer as I have not added any yet. The sound is like the speaker with woofer but the woofer is off.

My question is:
~~-is this normal as it is budget speaker (aorund RM200++)?~~
~~-is there any way to improve the sound quality~~
~~-does the head unit play a role in this case?~~

thanks in advance and sorry for my bad england essay

Updates:
-21/08/2024
I will start the progress and ignore the questions above.
I actually got my car last year. Today only I send the car to apply tinted(car comes with security film) and replace aftermarket HU.
I take The Dynavin DP8 and looking forward to upgrade to Infinity kappa 603cf and basslink.
Comment of the shop is this player has enough power with this combo, Amp is not needed. Not sure how true it is.
Dynavin DP8 has built in DSP, but the salesman told me it is actually just an equaliser.

-11/02/2025
After all, I have only changed the HU and the front speakers.
HU: Dynavin DP8 4+64GB (RM1055) - installed by Shop
Speakers: Mohawk M5-625 V2 (RM205) - DIY

Total Cost: 1260

Not going to spend more on it, at least not for now.

Few months been using it, this combo is doing good so far, only thing is sometimes the player's carplay will not be able to connect to my phone, it is only happens once or twice in a month.

Component Speakers for MG4,

judesh — Sat, 25 May 2024 07:53:38 +0800

So guys, thinking to updgrade ICE for my Mg4 standard... Car comes with 2 tweeters in dashboard and 2 Midbass in the front doors... No speakers in the rear doors..sound is decent but can be improved
Will diy together with soundproof since still have some leftover element sheets...Will be keeping the HU
Looking to spend 1.5k for 6.5in components and narrowed down to Morel Tempo Ultra 602 or Hertz Mille Pro... Which would you choose or any other suggestions?
Will I be wasting my money and instead should consider 800 price range... Morel Maximo MkII or Flux Neo or Steg Leo...
Preference for SQ
Thank you
