Hi People,
I got a system, rather start building a system for my Getz on Saturday. I bought a Sony 7710S HU and two pairs of Sony 1621 speakers for both front and rear doors. The HU has 3 pre-outs of 4V (I remember navin emphasising a lot over it). I wanted to install components in the front, but decided against it, mainly bacause of budget constraints. This setup put me back by 15000 bucks. Th HU costs 12990 (I got 10% disc on it), the speakers are 1700 a pair (15% disc), plus 350 bucks for the couplings.
Although the bass is very low and sound a little bit too bright for my taste, but it's crystal clear and crisp.
I plan to go for Sony 4 channel amp, and a bass tube some time later. Navin I have a question, in a 4 channel amp if I connect front and rear speakers paralelly to 2 channels, what all will i sacrifice; I know the Fader, but what else? also what does 3 pre-outs mean, and do using a 4 channel amp negate the effect of 3 pre-outs. Also are 5 channel speakers available in market and if yes, what do they cost.
The Sony dealer showed me a set of cables which he says will greatly enhance the working of amp and bass tube. It cost 1200 bucks, what's your take on it. Do I need to buy cables myself, or the amp/tube comes with it? which brands are good and how much do they cost.
One more thing, the company default setting for Loudness is Off, at this setting the bass was very low but sound was very clear. When I turned-on loudness, the bass increased dramatically but clarity reduced. Is this normal behaviour? Navin please explain what Loudness means. When the loudness was on, and I increased the volume the sound distorted at even less than one-third the full volume; when I install the amp-tube what setting you guys suggest so that the sound doesn't distort even at very high levels.
My system has built-in High and Low pass filters. The low pass filter has two options 65 Hz and 150 Hz, what does it mean. How can I use to better the sound?
In the end, thanx to Navin/Sam/Aseem, I learnt a lot from you guys.

\N
