Oh, that's was you that Darren was saying an RX8 coming to do sound proofing. U did only the 2 front door?
Ya, I tot mine was the Boss speaker, darn, I was wrong ...geez...

Now I realised again that the PI 6MT has folding mirrors too ....damm the MM ! :mad:

Neon 12-15-2004 08:57 AM

If theres any consolation, the MM speakers arent dat shit hot too. Paper and imprint behind - Made In Indonesia. I still have mine full set if anyone interested. Haha....

I listen first time change already - sux....

Watoke, where got buy more much more than us PIs? We bought at minimum 10K higher for most 6MT boys leh.... ( First few batches i mean)

Yeah as Neon said..Bose only brand only lah. But me not ICE person. Sound proofing was needed because of an irritating rattle inside the door. Now reduce, but at times still there :(

Neon you want to be first few to drive the 8 mah so must pay more lor hahahah. Yep, the first few cars are definately 10K more.

rattle sound? Have you got them (SinKit people) to see what is loose when the open the front door to put the accumat?
I did both the front door (1 layer) and the side 2 little door (2 layers), now the door is solid and pretty quiet inside. Less vibration too ... sound is pretty compact and firm ...better now..or should say much better :D

Neon 12-15-2004 09:01 PM

Yalor. Some paid about 155K. Mine was 150K.

I got mine sound proofed to get better mid bass from 8inch speakers in front. Only set back is the car is heavier. So, no DRAG race for me!! Confirm disadvantaged....

:)

Hehheh mine was below 150K, but not much lah...thanks to the delay in shipment :p

Well debug before, nothing loose...I think it is the upper portion of the door...need to do operation again :(

watoke 12-16-2004 04:24 AM

Yeah, you got the point ! :cool:
At least some consolation to me :D kekeke

1. When bent manually either by some itchy hand or a slight accidental knock when someone passes you, depending on the mechanism, it may break. -> $$$ I'll rather not have it even if its a freebie. :o

2. If you take a good look from the front of the car, it there's very little difference between the overall width of the car with mirrors retracted and extended. Usually when accidental scrapes happen while people walk pass your car, it happens below hip level. (carrying things, swinging hands etc.) Looks like you don't need it, even if its a freebie. :o

I'm glad mine don't come with electric folding mirrors. :) I can bend the mirrors in myself when parking in a tight spot on the drivers side just to let me pass thru.

Hehe or i can just depress a button in advance to let me walk through...

Yeah they really are crap...just look at the tiny magnet driving the 6x9's in the rear. I'd be interested in upgrading to Alpines or the like, but then might need an extra amp to make it worthwhile...anyone know how much power is supplied from the in-unit amp?

Manwe 12-17-2004 03:21 AM

Talking abt sound proofing, what i did was sound proof the boot(cos of my 2 10" sub) and the front. The rear doors scattered... cut some cost and you cannot tell the diff. In fact, if you really really wanna save money, just install without sound proofing. Listen to it first. If it rattles, then do that part. If it doesn't, don't give a damn.

Manwe 12-17-2004 03:26 AM

Oh yea, for those mm owners, don't be too upset about not getting the bose speakers. They have high end and low end type and those meant to come stock with cars(read lower than low end). I think what Neon mentioned abt made in indonesia tell you quite a bit.

If you are really stingy and just want some improvement, I suggest just adding a sub and it would sound much better. If you are not the base base person, maybe you might wanna wire some tweeters for the high freq. Alternatively, go for 2nd hand equipment, save you lots of money and hey.... sounds great still ;)

sgrenesis 12-17-2004 10:15 AM

maybe should do a meet up for audio buffs. want to hear the difference between stock and mod. can consider too. hee :D

EBS 12-17-2004 10:59 AM

ICE meetup sure jialat. After u hear some bro's setup, u find ur budget get extended leh.... veri scared.

Genesis 12-17-2004 01:40 PM

EBS, sgren, what about us guys who just want to upgrade the stock speaker system? Neon, Wanwe and the like have an awesome ICE...they have a boot based 12" woofer system and loaded amps. Simple guys like me, Genesis just want replace the stock speakers, but is the in-unit amp powerful enuff to support?

EBS 12-17-2004 02:34 PM

Yes. I did some research when I got my car. No prob changing the woofers and tweeters. U can even put a small sub without breaking the bank. It will definitely sound better than stock.
If u are on a shoestring, maybe add an 8" sub and the sound improves. In my case, I am saving money for some other stuff (TBA :cool: ) so holding tight to my wallet at the moment :D :D

Ok EBS bro, in my case it's not about dollars...it's about desires...dollars is not the issue. I want a better soundstage in my 8 vs. stock, but don't want the huge 10" woofers in my boot, just want more "accurate" local speakers in the present 6x9 cut-outs...thoughts?
