Thanks Navin, I'll definitely give the Rainbows a hear.

So please mention the better products! I've shelled out a fair bit for the ICE already and don't mind shelling out some more for a significant improvement. You can see my configuration...what would your suggested upgrades be?

Focal with a 554? Original Focal? Not duplicates?

Focal Speakers has a good sound quality
I personally tested Focal speakers .. but thy are bit costly ...
You can tell the shop owner to put Focal in your car.. so that you can test yourself.

@Navin: Yes the Focal were powered by the Sony 554

It was in a Swift.
They seemed original costed some 30k(after discount) for front comp + rear ovals.

navin · 27th July 2007, 13:43

30K speakers with a 5K amp!

shrivz · 27th July 2007, 13:45

Yes Navin, thats what the best rated shops in Pune offer.. crappy advice and crappy installs!!

There is a possibility that the customer insited for that combo, tho, its highly unlikely..

WOW.....the HU looks great ,the light effect (civic dials/speedo + HU) would be killer in the dark.
