have you purchased the above setup? if you haven't then i suggest you rethink the entire setup, and think of a different brand. mb quart is no longer what it used to be, and i know of 2-3 people who made a mountain out of the molehill that mb quart has now become, and are now not happy or have changed their setup totally. I'd say, if you had a budget of 1.5L, your most important investment/s would be 1. the head unit 2. the front soundstage 3. the amplifiers powering the front speakers and the subwoofer/s 4. the subwoofer/s. here's what i would do if i had a chevy forester, and 1.5L to spare on ICE. 1. Head Unit: Since absolute quality is what you demand, I'd say a Head unit like the Kenwood mentioned above is good, but you can do better. And for that reason I'd suggest the Eclipse 7200MKII, since it has Bluetooth, USB and Aux In. Since you mentioned the bit about the telephone synchronization being important for you, the 7200MKII does it all. The Alpine CDA-9887 would be a good option if you wish not to have telephone synchronization in the stock unit (you can add a bluetooth adapter to almost all higher end head units from alpine, pioneer etc.) 2. The Front soundstage: Now, here is where I'd experiment on a car as big as the Forester, and with a good budget like yours. Contact Bass&Trouble for an innovative idea, as to accomodate a 2-Way component speaker setup, as well as a Sub-woofer in the front (yes, you read right, i am not kidding.) Having a slightly smaller sub in front works wonders for the front soundstage. A little bit of innovation might help, that's the reason why Bass&trouble might be able to help you. The speakers I'd recommend here are without doubt, the Illusion Audio Carbon ND-8.1 or the ND-6.1 depending on the modifications you are willing to make to the door pads. 3. The Amplifiers: This is where the most amount will/should be spent. And I'd say, a good powerful 4 Channel Amp for the Fronts and rears like the Higher End 4 channel amplifiers from either Steg/tru/genesis. I dont know model Numbers here. Sorry for that. The Amplifier for the Sub/s would be a monobloc amp from the the above brands. 4. The Sub: I'd say the Ground Zero Hydrogen Series is great! I'd have 2 12" Hydrogens, but if there is a space constraint, then one 15" sub should do it. We also have to take into account the sub in front, but I dont know much about compact powerful drivers. They do exist, that's why I say, contact B&t. He will guide you here. 5. The Rear doors can get the Illusion Electra Coaxials/Components, depending on who is going to be sitting there for the better part of all journeys. It goes without saying that INstallation and wiring etc must be top notch, since we are using such high end components! Last edited by frankmehta : 23rd February 2009 at 20:43. | |
