JBL And Infinity new demo car competition 2006 - A team-BHP exclusive look - Team-BHP

Sam Kapasi · 14th March 2006, 11:49

Hi there. This year, the demo cars worldwide will be seen on TBHP first!! Enjoy and keep the comments coming. Over the course of this week, I will put up entries from all over the world.
Unfortunately, the swift from India will not be part of this years collection due to some delays on our part.

I'm gonna put up one set of pictures from a country every day for a week. There are 7 cars in all. One from France, 2 from poland, one from the UK, one from Russia, one from UAE and one from the netherlands.
So here's a fun exercise.

Everyday you come back and take a look at the new pics i put up. Then we put up a poll after all 7 are up and find a TBHP winner. YAY!

2 for the Poles? You must have heard the Polish Jokes!

Sam Kapasi · 14th March 2006, 13:02

Coming up is contestant number one from Poland

Mini.

Here are a few installation pics of the work that went into making this absolutely stupendous little car. The Polish team are really really good and I've met them a few times, they really know their business. And they love to drink.

Head unit: Becker Traffic Pro 7945
Front System: 2 x JBL C608GTi
Subwoofers: -
Amplifier: JBL Power PX300.4

The installation was done by Extreme Car Audio from Wroclaw, Poland. The car audio system acts without a subwoofer. In this special construction the GTI Midrange-woofers provide some bass. The amplifier and the crossovers are located in the little trunk of the mini. A monitor in the dashboard makes sure, that nobody is bored during the ride.

And thursdays treat (Navin Baba are you listening) will be the Infinity Subaru Impreza from the UK. That's all for now - let's hear the comments boys

revharder · 14th March 2006, 13:53

oh my gawd!
i guess this thread will see some serious-noise, never experienced before on tbhp!
waiting to see you post details of all the contenders here.

navin · 14th March 2006, 14:23

The colour scheme on the mini is quite like the viper/cartouch's Getz/Santro! :-)

love the wood work for the front door speaker mount.

Nicely done setup. The two tweeters placement looks neat.

The color scheme Kinda reminds me of the orange hair somebody was sporting on this forum

And the winner gets the winning setup Freee..YAIY

U said this setup gives some bass through the midrange drivers. Does it sound complete?

Steeroid · 14th March 2006, 18:50

Thumbs down to polski effort...nyet nyet nyet. Too much car, too little sound from the LOOKS of it.

s0uljah · 14th March 2006, 19:05

This is going to be a long long thread.............Waiting to see the sound it makes, Hehe. Nice initiative Sam

Obviously the mini's got to sound nice, but its definately not going to go up there since the stakes are high in this sort of a comp!~

SRK · 14th March 2006, 19:20

Are the polls going to be for looks or soundsystem setup or both?
The Mini looks neat,nothing overdone,but nothing interesting.

This is going to be some car. I have seen the damn thing go in the FIA asia pacific rally in new zealand last year. It is fast. 400bhp has to mean something.

And that being JBlfyed is like

Sam Kapasi · 16th March 2006, 10:35

Nah, this poll isn't only for how much equpiment there will be in the car. You see, most of these cars and the people that have these cars, have unlimited access to equipment. (Like me)
No I want this poll to be for the CAR. Overall, kind of job, external finish, internal finish, that sort of thing. So this isn't restricted only to the audio gurus. I think everyone at TBHP can comment.
So I'm uploading the Subaru now. It'll be on in 10 mins.

Sam Kapasi · 16th March 2006, 11:00

This one is the only Infinity entry this season. Built in the UK by SQplus (IMO the best workshop there is in the UK)

The Press Release:

Harman, distributors of JBL and Infinity, commissioned SQ Plus to design and build what they described as an “an eye-catching install” in their demonstration vehicle – a Subaru Impreza. The centrepiece was to be the most powerful car audio amplifier in the world (The A6000GTi). Together with the two smaller amplifiers, this system is capable of producing over 7000 watts. However, this had to be about more than raw power. Fibreglas and engraved perspex dominate the install, colour-matched to the bodywork, with lighting provided by liberal use of Varad LED and neon. As visitors to the Paris Motor Show or Sinsheim Car and Audio Show in Germany will no doubt verify, mere words cannot do justice to this striking install, and if you would like something similar to this allow yourself a budget of around £30,000 for labour alone!

And here's the car:
