KIA K3 Owners check-in!

[Khaitino]

Just did up the ICE set up for my ride.

Front 2 way Focal 165KR

Rear Coaxial Focal R165C

Hertz HDP5 ch amp

Hertz 300.5 box woofer

STP soundproof double layer x 4 doors.

 

Enjoying the superb sound quality.

What was the damage?

[Enzomatrix]

What's your set up bro? I'm thinking to install Mosconi DSP.

I only used car shampoo and micro fibre cloth to rub. And it came off. After that I don't allow pump attendant to pump for me as they always drip onto my paintwork.

Passive setup bro

 

I didnt want to change the head unit as cannot fully utilise the steering controls.

 

Rockford P1 sub

Mosconi AS100.4 4 channel amp

Micro Precision 3 series 2 way

Rear speakers I just change a normal one cant remember the brand.

 

Was considering to add a processor but I think I just save the $$. The only main difference now is i cant my sub comes from the rear instead of the front so it doesnt sound good to me.

Anyone knows how to remove petrol stain? I realised i got a stretch of petrol stain at the petrol tank area. I believed is those staff tt help me pump petrol when done didnt do properly, leaving a drippimg stretch of petrol. Just t realised last night only. I tried to wax away but not able to.

try using polish or other cleanser.

 

After pump next thing can use those water on the side of the pump to wash the area b4 driving off.

 

if u stay near north west area, i can lend u to try if can remove so u dun have to buy one cos u dun use it often. My bottle used for years.

Correct bro. Now my bass comes from the rear. Front seems like no bass. I'm considering Mosconi DSP which cost $780.

yea, my prev ride i change the HU and was able to get the sub to come from front. now it comes from rear lol. But for that sake to get a processor, i think not worth the $$ and my ears not so sensitive for SQ :P

 

Together with the HU and steering control module I spent 4k+ for the equipments on my prev ride, 150 to dekit and 280 to install back on this ride so not intending to upgrade any further for now :P

[LuminouX]

Thanks for the reply.

 

personally, i tried shampoo and wax but to no avail. Maybe my wax not strong enough. I used FW-1 wax but not able to remove it.

 

Prolly need go look for stronger wax.

How about the SQ apart from the sub bass? I'm afraid that after adding processor might be no difference.

if u r using stock HU, there will be difference. Was told our HU do not support the cabling so they use hi-low converter unlike after market HU.

 

On top of this, if we run passive using the twitter at stock position, the sound are all deflected at the windscreen. With processor u can better "tune". If u wan better, u can change ur HU as it's the source.

Wax cannot work bro. You have to use polishing paste.

Just installed Helix DSP with Director controller. After tuning by my audio shop, the SQ is superb! Different instruments clearly differentiated. Punchy and tight bass at the front. Sound stage at the centre dash. Good processor, no regrets. Totally one sky and one ground.

[Cactus72]

Anybody knows whether the navigation system include Malaysia map? Tks.

[Kevinhwc]

Stock honk is way too soft. Not that I like to honk but for safety reasons, you need a louder honk most of the time.

 

I also upgraded my previous Forte to Hella. Thinking of upgrading my current ride also.

 

I changed my stock horn to Borsch EC-6, after I search/compared a few horns & models. I always throw out stock horn - no damn good - compromise my safety and safety of fellow road users. Recommend this horn to you. Loud enough. No overkill. And low price. I saw avail AutoBacs S$50.00cts. For everybody's safety , this money you cannot don't spend

[teomingern]

I'm always concerned with the bumper alignment when they remove it and then put it back. Those clips are always very easy to spoil or break.

Upgraded it back to the one i dekitted from prev ride.

Helix DSP $950

DIRECTOR (remote commander) $580

Remote holder $30

A pair of dunno what RCA cables for better SQ $380

Total : $1940.

 

It's tuned centered at driver, (time alignment). I mean that the singer is like in front of me instead of inside the speakers.
