ICE upgrade : Maruti Swift

aah78 · 3rd August 2007, 02:24

Is it possible to mount a subwoofer tube eg. made by Bazooka, in the rear of a Swift either longitudinally or vertically?
If i'm not mistaken, these tubes are velcro attached, and can be removed for luggage space.

yes sir it is very much possible...but I would prefer it longitudinally as it will be easy to get hold of it when compared to the vertical one.

AND SAM SIR- PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT AVAILABLITY OF JBL IN THESE PARTS

Thank you. JBL is not well distributed in the north east. There is a distributor in Cal and another in Guwahati. Obviously not enough. A foothold in Sikkim isn't easy. Hopefully, soon.

Sometimes a bass tube has a port at the other end. The port would be an integral part of the bass reproduction. (ooh, gotta love that word)
If there is no port at the rear, I suppose vertical is ok. Navin has mounted some tubes like that. But check for the rear port.

I would get the 7950 for 9K and JBL 607 for 5K and then add in a pair of 6x9 for 5K later and you should be ok. If you need more volume add a Pio 6200 for JBL 60.4 for 7-8K and if you need more bass a subwoofer and monoblock for 16-17K.

Firstly for 30-35K....

HU: 9K basic Alpine (9881/9883) or Pio 7950 or why not use the Bahamas you got it aint that bad you can use the money saved on either a couple of bottles of wine or damping the front doors or getting nicer speakers (Sam'd choose the former, I'd choose the later)

since you are sold on JBL (are you?) I have worked out a sampel system. You can dothe same for many other brands as well.
Speakers: Infinty 6" components and coax (6020 and 6022): 16K
Amp: JBL 4060 for 10K
Sub: JBL GT4-12 in 1.25 cu. ft box for 7K
optional JBL 301.1 amp

JBL and Blau are not bad speakers atleast not Blau Thx/Thc. Blau GTO is not that good. But I suspect you will like the toanl balance of Infinty better.

as far as be blocking the rear ports on my subs. this is a special case.
a) my subs are not subs but really midbass speakers 6.5" dia
b) these midbass drivers are augmented with a 12" woofer for the last octave (30-60Hz).
c) the reason to block the ports was to tighten the midbass. with the ports the midbass was too woolly. this means there wouldbe less bass but then I got the 12" woofer as well right. So really my "bass tubes" operate only for 2 octaves or so and do not produce much below 60Hz.
d) I have realised (since I have frequented TBHP's ICE) that I am NOT normal when it comes to audio (I used to think I was but Sam insists otherwise). So when doing what I do tread carefully (or should I say tread care-fool-ly).

yes SAM, it is purposely. Perhaps he didnt like akbar wala joke!!

darkcloud84 · 3rd August 2007, 20:46

Hey Optimus Prime, even I would like to know the cost of each part - HU, front speakers and rear. I am also planning to get my ICE this weekend, and my budget is also 10k .

head unit was 6500(w/o bill)... the speakers came for 4k with a company warranty card.
installation was 1600/- so the totall comes to 11600..

i knew the dealer so i got it for ten. (500 off)
and make sure the stuff you buy is genuine.

the ONLY difference between 5950 and 6950 is the display. the 6950 has a dolphin display (whatever that is) i had originally intended to buy either the 7950 or the 6950 but i decided to go for the 6950 because i dont need a usb. then the dealer (friend of mine) told me to go for either the 5950 or the 7950 because the 6950 is pretty useless..

as for sound and output, the 5950/6950/7950 are all the same.
the only difference is
5950 - normal display (good enough imho)
6950 - dolphin display (1k more)'
7950 - motorized panel and usb support (without any extra usb adapter i believe)

my suggestion would be to go for a pioneer 5950 head
with jbl 937 for the back and either 4inch or 6inch speakers for the front.

cheers

i bought it from sp road. the dealer is orion electronics.. it's bang opposite the car park(car mashup is more apt) after you take a right before the flyover which goes to mysore road.

the owner is bhavneet singh, he'll give you a good deal. he also has his own company which has their stuff imported from china. it's called orion and i saw him selling a head unit with dvd player and direct usb support for 6000.

however if you want to stick with brands, pioneer is the best for a budget system. you could always upgrade later on.

Sounds great! Thanks guys, I didn't have a very clear idea regarding the Swift's luggage area. I don't have a sub yet, so I'll probably figure out the mounting when I shop for one. Also haven't figured out whether to go in for an active or passive one.
