I spent 5 continuous days from 10am - 10pm getting it right...the damping, especially the liquid damping took the longest time to dry (total of 10hrs).

But it is finally finished!!

All this and no pics!

[Amey]

Sir, post pics please

[mclaren1885]

Aha, a FOCAL setup eh? Pics please.

[speedzak]

That's a whole lot of great equipment there.

Before somebody goes wild and mad, we would all love to see some snaps. Please!

where did you source the equipment from? Where was the install done?

[ramie2400]

There is one 'Bafna Motors' here in Pune. This guy sourced all the equipment & did the install & initial fine tuning.

Nice stuff gone into the car , but why was the Bass controller installed in the boot next to the amp and behind the subs ?? it is supposed to be somewhere handy on / below the dash near the driver so that you can adjust the bass as needed.

Nice install Vivek, which is the brand of cable used from the Kicker Mono amp to the Sub? I see a Blue and Silver coloured cable for it. What brand is it?

[1self]

Hey Kiran,

ALL details in the setup post...(SCOSCHE EFX).

Hey Blueraven,

My HU can easily do the needful... it has its own programmable filters etc...since it came with the remote...i just put it up for convenience..

No Vivek, it is not Scosche for sure. I saw it in Amey's Skoda and I was sure it wasn't made by Scosche. Thought you bought some subwoofer cable extra.

Well, if it serves your purpose , then it's fine, but the effect generated from increasing the Bass on a head and on the bass control is very different, the response differs from amp to amp over the bass control, A bass control is typically for switching between Genres of music and it gives you additional control over the Lows generated.
For Ex: For some Trance numbers the Mids from the speakers are important, hence the bass control can be kept on the lower side, for hip hop it's maybe half way thru or more as you need more thud and boom, some hard rock and metal numbers dont generate that much lows, hence the bass contol lets you increase and adjust to feel the bass drums playing by directly controlling the amp, basically giving a boost upto 18 db.
Whereas on the head it just plays with the preamp output which after a level introduces jarr as it goes through the head's crossover and not directly to the amp.
If you have not, then give it a try using the bass control handy, you will feel the difference in time.

Hey Guys!

Kiran... the wire from the amp to the subs is as follows:

Monster Car Audio. S12 - 2XLN Two Conductor
XLN- Xtra Low Noise

Blueraven...got the bass control upfront. thanks man!!

[panky12345]

Sorry for going OT: is there is a bass control for JBL 301.1? I'd love to have it in front cauz lot many times I just want to hear a song with little to no bass.
