| Senior - BHPian  | Optra Ice Upgrade Car - Optra 1.8LT (comes with 4 speakers and 4 tweeters on each door) Head Unit - Blaupunkt Bahamas MP46 More Info Here (Changed from the original Blaupunkt Cassette Unit it came with, have retained the 5 CD changer) Requirement - Clarity, clarity & more clarity, the currenty crappy stock speakers make whistling noises at higher volume. I am not much of a Audiophile and listen to music very rarely at higher volume. Budget - 20k - damping (3k) = 17k I dont want to add anything in the boot. The parcel shelf can take speakers so can i add speakers over there and have a 6 speaker setup??  Looking at my requirements what should i go in for?? A subwoofer can be placed on the parcel shelf. Are the tweeters crap on the car and do i need to change it. Please tell me in 12k which amp, subwoofer, speaker & wires i should go in for in order to get clarity in sound. Thanks P.S My first post in Ice thread so please help me and forgive me for my stupid questions. Last edited by BUSA : 11th May 2007 at 19:24. |

20k mein se 3k for damping? 15%? Very high. Use some VFM damping, and only hit the doors. Theres lots of talk about this on another thread. Dont cut the parcel tray for the sub, enclose one and put in the trunk. Use some good 6.5" coaxes for all 4 doors. Comps for front door will not leave you with much left since you'll need an amp too. Good coaxes, especially with a dome tweeter should be alright since a component set will exceed your budget. 6 speakers is not allowed on T-Bhp. You will be outcasted. 6 or more speakers are only allowed if you are using Bang & Olufsen.  | |

For 9K I would get 2 coax in the front and 2 6x9 in the rear deck (some bass is better than no bass). For 7K I would get a 4ch. amp and for 2K good RCA wires. For the remaining 2K I would damp the 2 front doors albeit not fully. Again some damping is better than none. | |

| Senior - BHPian  | 20K? Front: JBLCS2165c: 5000/- (2-way comps) Rear: JBLCS2165: 3000/- (2-way 6.5" coax -- with a sub on the tray you don't need any bigger speakers here) Sub: Pio 307F: about 3500/- (for free-air install on the parcel tray. You also get Kenwood subs for free-air installs for about 4500/-) Amp: Pio 6200 or JBLCS60.4: 7k or 9K (4-chs, for the front comps and the sub) Wiring & RCAs: 3K (Stinger/Twister/Scosche) Blows your budget a bit, but gets the job done completely (incl. amping the front comps). To save a little, as B&T suggested, maybe you can get a 2-ch amp instead of the 4-ch for the sub. Do some VFM damping for the time being (with what you get as discount on the above) and get a more detailed job done when everything gets loose soon  |

I dont prefer 3 way coaxials in 6.5" size. Two tweeters is hard to catch up with for a 6.5" driver. Dont just buy an RCA cable for 2k. Get an amp wiring kit which will have the power cabling and hardware and hopefully an RCA thrown in too. I have received some really nice damping samples. I am going to post it in the VFM damping section soon. It will be a good solution for damping the whole car (i.e. front doors + parcel tray underside + trunk lid) for about 2-2.5k. | |

JBL 636 Triaxials - 3.5k are fine, but they are last year's series (= old stock). Now discontinued. The current speaker is 637. The GTO637 will be just under 4K. The Sony502 is just okkkk for a sub. Not the best choice for speakers, but ok enough for sub if on a budget. The 306F is is what you should get. There is also a 306C meant to be used in a box. The "F" is for free-air. That sub can be fitted on the parcel tray. For 2K you'll get a really good pair of Audison 2-ch RCAs (2 x 1K). 2K should cover decent enough damping. You might need some damping for the parcel tray (and maybe C-pillars) also other than the doors, but I guess 2K should stretch to cover the job overall if you use some VFM damping. The JBLCS60.4 (9K) & Pio 6200 (7k) are two good 4-ch amps. They will get the job done decently. A JBLGTO75.4 (13K) is a really good amp, but it is a bit costlier too. | |
