The components are good. And whenever something's free, it's superb.
So whatever opinions we have doesnt matter

with Sam!!! Man u hav a great sense of humour.

That's a great thing to have. I have velocity components in my car and it sounds good. And with that Alpine amp, those should be rocking! Why does'nt he get himself a nice SUB too?

Tool · 4th June 2006, 01:37

hey thanx a lot speedzak

i will tell him that they are good .... thank you for being helpfull bro.....

he did have a sub .. had it stolen.. so now he is waiting for a bit to get some cash ... they ripped off his car real bad..... lost quite a bit.. but yes in a month or so he will have a sub rolling... he lost a alpine MRD 1001... the same monoblock as me as well... along with a alpine.. 9833 HU..
he had a JL audio sub too that was taken.,.. this Blau set was just a present from his uncle.. feeling bad for him i guesss.. hehehe even i want such angels looking after me hehehe... but thank you again very much... i am dying to hear them too .. will give my feedback on monday...

You're most welcome BRO! (to borrow Gunbir's words; "That's what we're here for")

And hearing what happened to your friend, that's really a shame man! I cannot just figure out how he managed himself after losing that MRD1001,9833 & JL Sub. Hope this guy is not roaming the streets with a fully loaded 9mm!! I would've blown that CHOR into a hundred pieces and enjoyed eating him too.

FOLKS... We have the first self confessed CANNIBAL member on our forum!!...

.... LOL

Speedzak... man remind me to tread very carefully whenever we meet up... would not like to meet THAT end!

Tool · 4th June 2006, 21:40

hey speedzak.. yeah bro.. even i was shattred....my poor friend was in shock.... and the killer bit was.. the install was not more than 5 months old.... the only consoling thing was he bought the alpine head unit and mrd 1001 with bill and warranty and insurance.. he got free insurance for the 9833 Hu atleast for 12 months .. and since he had the faceplate.. we got the HU back... but the mrd 1001.. is gone.. and so is the sub... in hindsight.. just got my insurance done today....
wouldnt want this to happen to even my worst enemy !!!.. welll maybe i would hehehehehe but its a shame... so now hopefully in sometime we can rebuild his system... fingers crossed..... and thank you again bro

big big booom

The Velocity series (Blaupunkt) is quite good. But you heard that already.

However I will add like most second rung component speakers systems (Infinity non-Perfect, Alpine Type R, Boston Pro, and some Focals) these too will benefit a lot from an upgrading of crossover components esp of the capacitors. CTR make good poly caps to be got for a song from your fav. shop on lamington road.

Just dont ask Sam to do the singing! :-)

Tool · 5th June 2006, 19:15

hehehe.. i wont.. lol...

thank you very much sir navin...

umm just 1 question.. the balupunkt comes with crrossovers.. but as you mentioned they would benefit from the addition of good quality poly caps from CTR.. umm whom can i have this done by ? and i live 2 seconds away from lamington road.. so what do i ask for ?? but id rather i get this done properly.. any suggestions sir ??
thank you very very very much...

1. I get my caps from Ramesh Trading Corp.
2. I'd do this myself. If you want a job well done do it yourself. Most others dont know what compromises you are willing to make and what you are not.

Just last night my friends were surprised that it takes me 60-90 mins to brew 500ml of coffee. Just my mad nature.
