Very Pleased

A few months ago, I felt something was wrong with my car audio. Something was different. I thought my right speaker was wonky, and that the sound was softer on the right side. I remember my sister and feli was in the car, and I kept asking them if it sounded off balanced. I thought maybe I had hearing loss in one ear or something. I tried to compensate with the rather limited EQ on the stock head unit of the Lancer EX.

I thought maybe I needa crank up the woofer a bit, so I decided to yank off my passenger seat and adjust the amplifier for the woofer. That took a while because I procrastinated for weeks, and couldn't find the right spanner. Yesterday I finally bothered to go to the hard ware shop to buy the correct sized spanner to yank off my passenger seat to tune the amplifier below the seat.

I played around with the amp, only to realize it was my speaker that was spoilt, not anything to do with the amp. I double checked by hooking up my yamaha stagepas 300 speaker to my car amp, which worked beautifully. I tried the reverse, hooking up the powered mixer to the car speaker. The speaker produced no sound, unless I applied pressure on the 4 o'clock position, and still only fuzzy crackly sound was produced. Dad said the speaker coil was stuck. He advised me to go sungai road to find someone who could repair it.

My uncle and cousin came to visit today, and to pick up a pair of shoes which my cousin will pass to my sis in aus. He said no one really repairs speaker coils nowadays, so I decided to buy a new one.

Searched around, autobacs, chuan sing, and this nam huat audio, managed to find a 2nd hand jbl sub woofer for $80, which included helping me mount it in my old speaker box. I'm quite pleased with the price, and the sound quality. I just hope it doesn't spoil like the boston accoustic one I had for just over a year.

I felt happy driving home. The sound is so much fuller now.

I brought the old subwoofer home. I'll try to repair it some day... right...
