What is Gear Lock ??
And Enjoy The Sound..

Cheers,
Mugen_Power.

its a device thats rivetted to the base of your car and has a U type or Pin Type Metal attachment which is locked with the Gear Engaged so that no one can steal your ride, unless he spends 3- 4 hours with a Gas Weld to un-rivet the attachment...! The Keys are now laser made-so its quite difficult to make them immediately...Something which published on some british site that it takes 10 min for a gear lock to be removed or similar...I think its quite some time before our Indian Chor goes Hi-Tech...!

I also wanted to ask the ICE gurus that its printed on my HU- 52 x 4 w..So it means that 208 Watts Will be supported or generated- The Pio's I have are 280 Watts each...! So If I add another 2 way 4" speaker into the In-Dash will it work..!

I'm enjoying the sound very much...!

wolfinstein,

Thanks For The Info..

Cheers,
Mugen_Power.

Wolf..

I aint no Guru.. but they will be along presently to correct me in case I am wrong!

The 52 x 4 Watts claimed is the PEAK music power output.. the CONTINUOUS power is more likely to be in the range of around 16-20 watts RMS...

GURUS!!

hey wolf! congrats man! kb is correct, it ranges between 14-22 W RMS. so just dont worry, the VFM is fine.

but i have a serious concern here, where is my party BTW?

i THINK i GOTTA STOP READING STUFF ON THIS FORUM OR IM GONA GET VERY VERY BROKE.....

no,never... ask KB lol:

i THINK IM GONNA TRANSFER ALL MY MONEY IN THE BANK INTO A 5 YEAR LOCK IN INVESTMENT SCHEME....B4 I GO CRAZY AT THE ATM.... WHY DID PPL INVENT THE ATM???? OR DID GOD DO IT IN HIS INFINITE WISDOM...OR DID A BHPIAN COEM UP WITH THE IDEA....

Me neither, but I have a feeling you're right about that. :)

And I have a strong feeling you're on the right path to be rechristened Guru KB. :)

rl:I agree...............

LBM, actually you too. I am amazed by your dedication to the cause of car audio and this forum. You ain't a long way either, plus or minus a few chickens. :)

4.How serious were your about your system?

My first install was when I was 13... installed a pair of speakers and a clarion HU on my family OMNI myself (First, I got it removed from our TATA estate with the help of a Service man). Later I lost interest in ICE and after 13 years, I got crazy again. And the above is the result.

Almost.. Everything from Classicals to Rap. I like more of Arabian, Turkish, native african, Hindi-Pop, Country, Remixes (Good quality ones as GunbirJi said) and AR Rahman.

Well not yet sure... OK.. yeah...
