New speakers sound extremely imbalance

stevenhsl2512 — Tue, 11 Apr 2023 10:39:59 +0800

Need to get help from ICU Sifus, I've just recently installed the following items from in my car:

1. Hertz Dieci DPK 165.3 (80w) component speakers
2. Hertz Dieco DCX 165.3 (50w) Co-axial speakers
3. Android Head Unit (TS18, UIS8581A system, Advertised output 50w*4, built in DSP)
4. Roadmark 400w Underseat subwoofer

Problem:
I noticed the front component sounded very bright (very clear vocal and also a lot of trebles), most of the sound coming out from tweeter, while the woofer mounted from the door is quite weak even i stick my ears next to the speakers. And the woofer also not giving out much mid and bass as well. Most of the bass are coming out from the underseat subwoofer alone.

I have tried sending back to the shop, and they tuned the built in DSP and EQ setting but I don't really feel there's much improvement.
Initially I wanted to install JBL stage 3 component and co-axial and now I am not sure if things would be better if I went with JBL at the first place instead.

In this case, what are the possible reasons? Is it that I have to consider an external DSP instead?
Can DSP make the sound to be more balance without changing the speaker?

M2 MBA Battery drain while charging

stevenhsl2512 — Wed, 28 Dec 2022 08:54:41 +0800

I noticed that my MBA M2 battery draining slowly after fully charged to 100% and even when it is still plugged in, the battery status showing: "Chaging on hold (Rarely used on battery). Third party monitoring app also showing the power being drawn from battery instead of "DC in"

Is this the normal behavior of "optimized battery charging" algorithm which will slowly drain the battery to a lower level after it is fully charged while still plugging in?

On my other dell and other windows laptop, usually it will remain at 100% and cut off the battery power completely and swithc to power adapter only.

I have tried contacting Apple support but they sounded quite clueless about it, and other forum like macrumours, not everyone experiencing this as well.

Car AC hissing from AC vent

stevenhsl2512 — Wed, 11 Aug 2021 14:19:30 +0800

Just sent my car for AC flushing yesterday as preventive maintenance.

But after the flush, I could hear some hissing noise from the aircon vent (probably dashboard). The noise came out:
1. Few seconds when the compressor kicks in.
2. Also few seconds when compressor stops/after shutting off the engine.

Went back to the workshop again this morning and they ran through the AC system using the AC service machine. Pressure and air outlet vent temperature is normal. They couldn't identify why the hissing noise is there, but at least the hissing noise is little bit softer compared to yesterday.

Cooling coil and expansion valve also changed not so long ago, like 3 years back.

I know the hissing noise is there since day 1, but it was very faint until the AC flushing ytd. Anyway, The AC is still as cold as before.

Is this normal? Or I should send to other places for checking?

Spotify got throttled on Maxis

stevenhsl2512 — Thu, 20 Dec 2018 00:00:24 +0800

Dear k/, I just want to ask if maxis do throttle the speed when accessing spotify? I just ported in not long ago and I found that that spotify is loading very slowly when browsing it through Maxis network, with celcom & unifi sim card just fine only, no throttle. I noticed that the speed throttled to 512kbps (64kb/s) on spotify. Even if i hotspot to my laptop and try to use spotify on my laptop, the speed got throttled at 512kbps as well.

I logged a case to maxis, their network team keep saying "I don't find any problem here".....

Is this the "normal speed" for maxis when using spotify?

[URGENT] How to use Unifi router on other network?

[URGENT] How to use Unifi router on other network?

stevenhsl2512 — Mon, 13 Jan 2014 02:34:49 +0800

Hi there, I have a Dlink DIR615 (Hardware: G2 firmware:7.15) router which comes with unifi and I brought it to bring it to my uni as my uni only offers LAN cable connection in the hostel. However, I could not connect it to my school internet and I heard that TM had locked that router for Unifi use only .

In this case, How can I unlock the router? Will openwrt or ddwrt helps to unblock the restriction of TM on this router?

Thanks
