5 Seater Innova? Meaning?

I think Jkdas is asking about the last row of seats. What happens to them? it should be kept folded to keep the sub boxes?

And why are the sub and co-axials mounted this way?
Is it one box housing the sub and the co-axials??

Sorry for so many questions B&T. But teeny weenies like me always like to keep nagging!!

Ohh! No No, this is not a 5 seater or anything. Regular 8 seater Innova. Last row seats fold sideways up against the side walls, not ahead like a Wagon R. In the pic also, they are folded that way, but doesnt mean they have to stay that way. The enclosure is entirely after the last row seating gets over. You can open the seats without having to remove the boxes, so seating capacity is not compromised.

Both subwoofer enclosures are independently detachable. The subwoofers accept Banana Plugs, not clips.

Sir! Where are you seeing the coaxials in the picture? According to you it's the ones below, or the ones on top?

In any case, there are only two pieces of audio equipment in that picture. And both are 12" subs. What you see at the bottom (which you perhaps perceive as coaxials) is the reflection of the front of the subs that are mounted inverted on top.

I dont know how it looks in real. I find this mirror thingy a bit funny. It steals the maturity out of this neatly done install. I didn't believe when I heard/saw first, that's why I asked you.
Can you give a step by step photo sequence if possible. It would help really good for others as Gunbir&JB's Innova install helped many innova owners.

no what he percives are coaxials are actually the magnets of the subs. few subs have magnets in front of the cone. that is where most coaxials have thier tweeters.

Exactly NavinJi. I couldn't believe it was a mirror there. I counted it to be co-axials.

I think it's a very nice and innovative subwoofer box, that looks very nice indeed. Choice of equipment is pretty good too.

I'm impressed B&T. How does it sound?

Thank you sir.

You should hear it and tell me. Know what, I'll catch you at Naaz compound some afternoon, and we can both go down. I've heard there's a direct bus from Bandra Talao. If we catch from Bombay Central, then we have to change bus at the interchange for Kabul.

Jokes apart, it's a pretty simple setup, and the only jazz is with the sub box. It uses bare basic Pioneer amps, and the sound is very decent for the stuff that has gone in. Value for money install, considering that apart from the head unit and i-Pod adapter, the total budget was about 75k.

Most importantly, Mugen Power is a happy man. He regards it to be worth his month-odd of research and the 1600 km drive.

Navin, sometimes you go overboard. 300B SE and Class A SS amp will cost a bomb.

Congrats on the Toyota Innova.

In my opinion go in for the Pioneer 8850 and a pair of audiobahns, 4 way speakers. 2 Subwoofers 12" , 1 dual cone 1000 W Pioneer and 1 Single cone 800 W Pioneer. Connect 2 amps, a 4 Ch Alpine for the dual cone and if possible a 4 ch Roxford Fosgate for the Spekears ad single cone woofer.
Mount all speakers and woofers in a single boom box with an increased height of the box. Use either Monster or JBL wiring..

Its going to sound terrific... all the best !

Trouble is that Mugen already got his setup, or he could have considered.

Doc, which of Audiobahn's speakers is 4-way?

Why is it necessary to use two different models of subwoofers in the same car?

I suppose, by dual cone, you mean dual voice coil subs, because a dual cone 12" driver would be a full range and not a sub.
