Pegasus PG65 component set

matt wee — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 21:13:16 +0800

I just got offer for this pegasus pg65 at rm400 by this seller (zackaudio.blogspot.com),and claimed by him this is original product and warranty is provided by amerion enterprise.He doesn't have any shop and he get the item directly from dealer claimed by him also..

So now i need to know is that possible to get original pegasus pg65 at this price?and what can i do to differentiate it whether is original or imitation local product?

And how bout the sound of this component set?any one here using this comp set?is this suit for sq?i didn't mean to play true sq..just mostly i listen to kenny G,or some chinese song..and i really like clear vocal sound..

and because my budget ain't much..rm400 more or less only,so don't know which component set is better for me..

Really appreciated it if someone could guide and teach me bout this..really scare to buy imitation product.

Ice setup headache~ :stars:

matt wee — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 06:06:13 +0800

I having dilemma on my next setup now,i now using alpine 9835 headunit and all stock speaker...and already got one cap ayam 4channel amp and also cdt 10" svc sub on my hand right now.

But what make me headache is should i use the cap ayam 4channel amp to power up my front and sub first while saving for branded amp?but really no budget at the moment for the branded amp..so my question is:

1.)Will the cap ayam amp make my sound even worst than if i didn't use amp?mean just power my component set from HU..since my hu is 60w x 4 v-drive..and maybe can use the amp to power sub is enough..what suggestion you guys will give based on my situation?Use first or Don't ever use it?

2.)If i just power up my front component set from HU will lack of bass produced from midbass?sound quality will worst than having an cap ayam amp?or maybe the sound quality will worst?i really need a guide for doing this..because i will buy new component set soon..and will install all of this in one shot.

3.)And what component set is worth to get?As my budget really limited..what i considering now is SoundStream xsc.6 limited edition sell by jimmy from garage sales,is it really worth to try?and of course for the budget i having right now,i also not dare to think of playing SQ.. ,but as long as it will give me a clear vocal..because i mostly listen to chinese song(not rap one),and kenny G sometimes...lol.That's why i really need a component set that can produce me clear vocal..And forgot to mention my budget for component set only rm300 less or more.

4.)So regarding what i asking..please guide me how to setup for this..i really run out of idea..

and what im thinking to do is only two option:

1.)i will use this setup,HU--->4channel amp--->2channel to front component,
|-->2channel to 10" sub

2.)and another is,HU--->front component,4channel amp---->2channel bridged and power sub only...

I really worry of my bad quality cap ayam amp will effect my sound quality...and is it recommended to remove rear speaker as to prevent from destroy the sound staging?Or i can use my HU function and adjust all the sound to front only than remove the rear speaker?same also right?

Hi all sifus here,hope can get solution for my car from here.

I driving waja 02 year 4g18p 1.6 at..i just get the car from my mum recently..and i found out when accelerating or driving the car i can feel the engine sound is so strong and loud..and my friends whos sit in my car also know that the sound is too strong.

Besides this problem,i also found out my fuel consumption is quite high..pump rm30(rm1.80-ron95) and only can reach 130km..100% city driving and light footer(not over 2.5k rpm to auto shift gear),can someone help me to find out what the problem of my car?

Fuel Consumption calculation

matt wee — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 02:47:20 +0800

hi,there...i got something in my mind want to ask all of you about it..

Actually every car's fuel consumption is calculate based on what?mean based on driving condition?

example if driving in jam and driving without jam(highway) will get different Fuel Consumption calculation?

Or the truth is based on KM/L? KM/RM?

Because i heard many waja owner said before 9/10 of them are saying pump rm50 easily can go up to 350km...

But then my vehicle waja 1.6AT 02 rm30 can only go up to 120km++...100%city driving..this make me feel weird and curios to ask you all about it..

Please let me know how to calculate our car FC actually..i not mean to get the most accurate one,just want to know exactly my car FC...

Any recommended acc shop around setapak?

salam all car and waja owner,i having big trouble with my waja windows la....yesterday i use my passenger window to press it down..then when i press up suddenly "CRACK",the sound like its "kaki" broke already..the the window fall down to forward..luckily i still can pull it up using hand and another hand pressing the button up..so what the problem for this?and probably what need to change and how much will cost?

And today something terrible happened..

i go one workshop service my car..they fully press down my driver window to bottom,then after service my car i realize that my driver's side window cannot go up,i keep pressing up and down but just hear like the motor is operating but window no move at all...then i ask them why like this..they keep push responsibility to me and said maybe before i come to their shop my window is already malfunction..WTF,and said they will help me to check it..at last they just pull the window up..and done.i damn pissed off that time...find boss and same answer..push all to me again!said when i come here my window is fully closed..so they just do like what i come at first to their shop..now my driver's side window cannot function at all..press down press up also useless..hear the motor sound only but window no move at all.Damn unlucky day...

so i need to know what happen to my window?both passenger and driver side is different problem...how much i need to spend on this again?zzz

Engine oil recommendation

matt wee — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 15:00:35 +0800

Car model:Proton waja
year :2002
engine :4g18 AT
mileage :83k km

Hi,i planning to change my engine oil...currently using petronas mineral 20w-50...feel the car so heavy at low rpm,and FC is high too,pump rm50 can only last up to 250++km,and i only driving 90%in town 10%highway...rpm not over 4k..

so my question is which engine oil should i go for?and what rating is most suitable for my engine now?i heard alot saying 10w-30 is quite good for acceleration and FC low too...but can i use it?Or just just 10w-40 is better?because i more prefer FC low and good acceleration as i just using in town and light foot(not over 3.5-4k)...

And should i go for semi-syn or fully-syn?and what the difference between this two?

And if i want to switch from mineral to semi/fully do i need to flush the engine first before change to new engine oil?Is it necessary to do so?

Please advice me and suggest what engine oil and rating most suit to Waja 4g18...thanks alot.

Engine oil recommendation

matt wee — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 05:23:45 +0800

Hi,as i mentioned above that i going to change my engine oil very soon...and my ride is waja 4g18 at year 2002,i need suggestion and recommendation on which engine oil should i need to go?as now i using petronas 20w-50...previously my mum bought one..so i don't know whether should i stick back to this engine oil or should i try another..because i feel my car's FC is quite high..rm50 can run only 200-250km for waja 4g18 at..is it normal?

and my question is..which rating and which brand can you guys recommend me to try?based on what you've tried on your car...prefer waja owner..hehe..any car owner also can la..as long as you give me your suggestion on engine oil...

i think semi-syn is enough already since my car is already 7years so if get fully-syn maybe will consump engine oil...just worry...and my budget is less than rm100...

kindly stated out what the pros and cons of that engine oil like(greater pickup,easily cold-start,engine smoother,engine quiet,engine vibration less,fuel-consumption,etc)..thanks!

appreciated it..
