You installed a pioneer sub, 5 way pioneer speakers and polkaudio speakers through an android unit with a 4 channel amp?

[nfssaad]

anyone with camera installed, can you show the wiring connections made on your car?

[salman_w]

Yup. To be honest this is the system configuration i was suggested when i first got my system installed in 2008 and the amp and woofer are from that time. Have not researched better configuration. Its already so loud that i can never fully use it.

[devils_smile]

My concern is, how has your installer wired 4 speakers and a sub to single 4 channel amp. Or are you running a pair of speakers from the headunit.

For a car this size, you just need a good pair of comps in the front and a 8 or max 10 inch sub in the trunk. Shallow mounts are even better because the box won't take that much space and you'll actually enjoy the music.

[salman_w]

Well he has put all speakers on one channel and sub on the other by bridging. the audio output gets split to the front and rear pair by a RC cable splitter. I get your point of needing just two speakers. That was all that's needed per size of the car.
The thing is that I already had the set of speakers and the woofer and amp from before. Also i will or might move to a bigger car in future so the buying and selling did not seem right. Already have a pair of JBLs oval speaker from my earlier corolla. When you buy prices are through the roof but upon selling audio components you don't get much.
As far as the woofer is concerned its gain can be set to a lower level to balance with the speakers.
All in all each time i install this audio setup in my cars i learn something new but implementing it after the installation is a challenge hence the electricians are a pain in the butt to deal with and the car interior can be easily damaged if stringent attention is not paid.
To be honest I got this system when i was in 20s but now in my 30s loud music with bone shaking bass is not that appealing. It's there for the rare times when the mood hits. Might retire or sell the system but only when i am completely sure. As buying these components again will cost a pretty penny these days.
The other car I have is a Revo so no place for the woofer lol. What a conundrum.

Wiring a Sound system is huge process with tons of wires if you do it correctly. I have had this same system in one of my old cars where everything worked as it should all speakers were balanced perfectly and you could set the balance to all four corners of the car. The only time i had the system wired to its full potential. The amp has juice and my pre was a pioneer with the capability to wire all speakers independently. Now i have a chinese unit with no separate subwoofer output so the overall quality is compromised.

Off topic for now, but I just wanted to ask about the recommend oil grades. We bought our alto brand new 0 meter in July of 2022. Clocked about 7k now, had the first oil change at 5000kms. I wanted to do it earlier but didn't have time, At the time I read on Facebook that 0w-20 was the best grade for my car and I made the mistake of not checking the user manual which states that the lowest oil grade recommended by PakSuzuki is 10w-40? (Seems awfully viscous for this new of an engine). How much damage have I done with this oil grade and what should I opt for next?

[xenerking]

after using 15k under 10w-40 as recommended, today i shifted to 0w-20.

car felt smoother - well it always feel smoother after oil change be it 10w 40 or 0w 20
car felt quieter - now that can be placebo effect, but i definitely felt a TAD bit reduction in engine sound.
Acceleration improved-i think this is the only logical benefit of thinner and fully synthetic oil, i think noone will disagree on this point.

Costed me 8k including oil filter.

Now the question part:

10W-40, my drain internal was 4000Kms

wat shud be drain internal for 0w 20 as its fully synthetic and best oil being offered by Pak Suzuki.

P.S. i had to buy 4.1 liters now i have extra 400ml 0w-20 oil spare, i dont know wat to do.

[ifadey]

0W-20 is the right grade for R06A engine. 5W-30 is recommended for turbo version of R06A which comes in many imported Suzuki vehicles. You will ruin your engine in the long run if you keep using 10W-40.

[arqam.malik13]

9inch one which covers the side vents

[xenerking]

0w-20 drain interval?

[abid110]

You will ruin your engine in the long run if you keep using 10W-40.

i don't think this is right to say this - the word 'ruin'

[xenerking]

nobody ever tried 0w-20 with R06a alto?

[usamaiftikhar1]

I have been using 0w-20 since the first oil change; car has done over 35k kms till now. Works perfectly fine with air filter been changed after almost 9k. Smooth response and great fuel average. Oil is been changed at 5000 kms intervals.
