New WagonR Duo - Audio Setup

bharanidharang · 7th September 2006, 11:07

guys..

i posted a thread in the audlio advice sticky and i guess it gets lost with other topics...

i am buying the new wagonr duo. around 50 kms running daily and 100 kms atleast during the weekends.

i am looking to put in the following

1. Audio - Head unit (sony or blau) and 4 speakers (JBL ?) .. What would u suggest ? i know maruti gives only space for a 4'' in front. how abt the back speakers. which is a good place to put them in the wagonr ? the 5th wheel has the lousiest implementation in the duo. need ur thoughts on this

2. Go in for wider tyres and alloys. the g3 potenza + alloys (all 5 tyres) after exchanging stock tyres comes to around 22K in chennai. is that an ok price ?

3. sun control - llumar...

4. power windows (from maruti itself at 7500 for two doors), remote locking and seat covers (g-sport ?)

cheers

i wouldn't advice you to fix power windows. gives you more trouble than anything else.

bharanidharang · 7th September 2006, 16:04

the mentioned bugdet is for audio only

esteem lover,

unfortunately my little guy (2 year old) is very naughty and knows how to role down the window... with a power window atleast i can lock the power window from drivers side...

bharanidharang · 7th September 2006, 16:16

need to listen to the speakers but will have the JBL first on the list. which head-unit is good....

i am not into fancy lights etc.... i am not into heavy music.

looking at more warm sounding system.

My cars have a driver side lock that locks the 2 rear windows. In any case with a 2 year old in the back seat you should also have a car seat (I cannot recommend Britax enough they are the best) as well as disable the inner latch (most cars have a small lever in the door panel to do this) so that your little guy cannot accidently open the car door while it is in motion.

Call me paranoid but I did all of the above for my son. Now he is old enough to know better.

i used to have a alto vxi and remember using the child lock. will set it in the new one as well.

i do have a child seat (i think graco... got it from a friend who had got it from europe but did not use it)...

esteem_lover · 7th September 2006, 17:03

for your budget, i would suggest you get a good sony or a pio HU with preferably 2 or 3 pre outs & initially install front components. (I dont really know which is the best). probably hertz, jbl, infinty etc. and a 4 ch amp which will at present only drive your comps, but could be made use of later to drive your sub also.

HU - 12,000
Comps - 6000
4 ch amp - 5000

thats 23k. see your budget is already expanded now.

bharanidharang · 7th September 2006, 17:28

i dont think the wagonr has space for components !! does it ?

do i really need an amp now... would prefer HU + 4 speakers and then take a call once i listen to them for sometime abt the amps

you can fit 4 inch components in the dash. or choose to fit a bigger comps on the door panels. without the amp, the comps may not sound nice at all. as we seak, there will be some experts dropping in to shed more light on this aspect.

bharanidharang · 8th September 2006, 08:43

is there a 4 inch component available ??? i am not sure if a bigger one will have the depth in door of a wagonr to be fitted in !

yeah, i think 4" comps are available. my installer wanted to fix one in my esteem & i have just postponed that for the moment, as i feel 6 or 6.5 comps will deliver the best sound.
