changing car colour

sam04563 — Tue, 11 Feb 2025 16:28:52 +0800

Hi all sifus,

I have a 10 years car and thinking to respray it. After consulting to Dr. Google, notice that I have to submit form to JPJ if I respray the car to a different colour.
Question: The car colour info at JPJ data only state one colour (white/black/blue/red), if I respray the car from original grey to Machine grey, do I still need to submit form to JPJ?

Thanks in advance.

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

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.

can p1/p2 do this?

yesterday there was a post by/k mentioning higher class people don't discuss about people, so let us discuss something that i think is interesting

below are the car's price that sold respectively in three countries:

Toyota Camry:
US-from $25,295 MSRP
JPN- from 3,485,000 yen (USD 24,422)
MY- from RM209,000 (USD 46408)

BMW X1:
Us-from $38,600 MSRP
EU- from EURO 34500 (USD 34500)
MY-from RM215,800 (USD47740)

with so many years of the protection policy(impose excise duty) against import car, P1/P2 like still improving slowly compare to other brand regardless from the east or west..

if now given the same amount of money in USD24,422(Camry)/USD34500(X1), can P1/P2 produce the car that has the similar spec(both exterior and interior) and quality like Camry in Japan and X1 in Germany?

add on:-
if P1/P2 cant do it..means no need protection policy..is it time to reevaluate excise duty? either reduce or remove
