Default Got My swift Hertz'd

Hi! Guys,

My new swift just got the hertz treatment from Dr. Gunbir( ICE specialist), Dr. Autophile( Installation specialist) and Dr. Mukul Patel( Head Of Department, ICE).

Even before getting the delivery, started looking for a decent ICE setup for my car. I had a limited budget of 20k. When I contacted Gunbir, I was apprehensive as, I thought Hertz is an expensive brand. But then wanted to try it out.

Gunbir suggested that I go for the same setup as Khaadu, and it was in my budget.

So guys took the delivery, called up Gunbir and was given time and place for the installation( Operation Theatre). After a litte bit of co-ordination reached Patel Auto, Udyog Vihar. There were many more cars to drool upon at Patel Auto. Anyways, doctors were ready with all the equipment. They took apart all the door panels and the dashboard for installing the Head Unit from the back, instead of sliding it in from the front. Though it does take away the excitement of getting a new headunit as cannot be stolen easily.

The wires were soldered and taped, instead of just taping, which ensured that there are no loose connections.

Overall, seeing the system being installed was an experience and more so becuase Specialist were working on it. I am sure there are not too many installers in Delhi who work with the same level of dedication, commitment and possess the same level of knowledge about ICE. In short workmanship is commendable. I am sure would not be able to get my future ICE done by any other guy.

I have got the following components installed in my car:
1) Pioneer 7950UB
2) Hertz DSK 165, 2 way system
3) Hertz DCX 165, Coaxial

Could have got a cheaper headunit but wanted an USB. Though getting it would have given me a chance to install next level of coaxials and 2 way as the headunit output is same, only differnce being the display, USB etc. Means the same output with 15k budget.( can be done in my other car )

No amplifier nothing and all the speakers have been installed in the stock locations i.e in front doors and the rear doors, tweeters on the dashboard near A Pillar.

Anyways, got my system installed in few hours. Switched it on and played some tracks to tweak it.

System settings are as follow:
Equalizer flat
SLA 0
Bass 0
Loud Off
HPF 50
Fader 0

As per Arush, no artificial flavoring, only original.

The system sounds awesome and with volume at higher side of 50, there is no distortion. Music is pure and clean. Never Imagined that speakers can go upto such levels without an amplifier. Can feel the bass from rear speakers.

Overall, Best Installation I have ever experienced and seen with my eyes. Great product in good price. Thanks Gunbir, Autophile and Mukul for the installation and the setup. Pictures will be posted shortly, till then I am in my car listening my system.
