Also, the JBL sub is most probably the older GT4-12. It is available now for 4000. I think it's a good idea to get box made yourself as you will save 2k easily. Also, get a good pair of components for the front. Listen to the setup without rear speakers, then add rear speakers and listen again. You may not feel the need for the rear speakers. | |

Thats what i thought, usually these guys mention a brand if they want to show off how good the product is, he just added 1100 bucks to the list and said that would do. I was also hoping to get some inputs from members from bangalore to find out places which are reliable when it comes to buying and fitting these things. akg you mentioned raven earlier, is there a way i can contact him? | |

.Since you have already purchased and installed the Alpine - most of whose products are good - you will gain only heart-burn if you seek what COULD have been alternatives. Better to enjoy the music that comes out of it - till you are able to figure out "WHAT IS IT THAT I AM MISSING?" Vocals not good enough? Not enough high notes? Rear too loud? ... that sort of thing. That way you would be able to seek what you really want - it's YOUR ears that count. It all depends on what kind of music you listen to, and whether you want ICE for your listening or for the pedestrians around you. If you are the 'flaunting' type, go for a JBL or Blau tube with an amp from them that fits your budget. That would give you - and the pedestrians - a lot of BOOM, but might leave you really irritated if you are listening to mrudangam! If you are 'me and my music' type, buy JBL or Blau amp and a sealed sub box (you could also get the sub and then get a box made) - most prefer this. Of course there are other brands to choose from (Sony generally recommended as 'avoidable'), so if you really want to know what's good for you, audition the systems in TBHP members' cars - PM @hydrashok and others who are in Kochi, they would be glad to help out and advise. | |

| Senior - BHPian  | Hello, rijo, and welcome to TBHP. Looks like DerAlte has covered everything you need to know. All we now need to know is what improvement you want to make to your setup, and how much you want spend for the upgrade  The JBL 12" tube would be about 6K and an amp to drive just the tube (a 2-ch amp will do) would be about 5K (Blau GT2 special) with an additional 2k for power wiring and RCA cords. JBL's CS60.2 amps may still be available for about the same price (they have been discontinued to make way for the GT5 series). If you'd like to amp the front speakers also (recommended) you can get a Blau GT4 special (about 6K) or a Pio 6700 (better, about 7K) or a (discontinued) JBL CS60.4 for about the same price. the JBL GT4 amps should be here soon, so I think it could be worth waiting for them also. As before, you'll need to add 2K to 3K for power wires and RCAs. Where did you get the current setup installed? |

Thanks to all you guys for the various inputs I have picked in almost all the threads. These inputs elped me decide on the all the parts of my ICE. I have finally installed it on firday at Anwars'. And Boy do they sound amazing! Its kudos to all of you for helping me directly or indirectly for the near perfect bliss with music while driving. I have used Efx cables and tsunami powercables. They sound good. I think some more tweeking is reuquired but that can happen over a period of time I guess!!. | |
