Hii, I am looking for a high end audio entertainmemt system for my car and that's SANTRO.My current configuration is (2) 12" JBL Sub-Woofers ; a pair of 460 watts pioneer rear speakers ; a pair of 150 watts Blaupunkt fron speakers ; a pioneer 911 Amplifier for woofers and a 800 watts amplifier for speakers ; A Sanen Sound-Box ; Kickker (set of Wires) ; and the main unit is Pioneer DEH - P1Y 60 watts max. This cofiguration costed me around Rs.52000/-.Now i am looking for an upgrade and need advice, my budget this time is around Rs.75000/-. So please help.

Please give some more inputs on Sanen Box; Front and rear speakers and that 800 watt amp. I think 52000/- is an amount on the higher side.

Sanen is the audio box in which rear speakers and subs are installed (fitted).....And Normally i listen to trans music...with good bass.. but i want such a ICE system which works best with all kind of music ..I don't wanna change the whole set up ....just want to make changes to the current...

Sanen box = Box designed by Sanen of Mumbai? The Guy who did the boot for the JBL Firestarter (IIRC)?

Aryaan, I think you posted this before on post 6971 here
http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/ask-gu...new-q-465.html

1. you have still not confirmed if the pio amp is indeed a 911.
2. Is your budget 75K or 23K (75K-52K already spent)?

You can retain the JBL 12" subs and the P1Y for now. First I would damp the doors (all 5), firewall/floorboard and hatch.

If you have the budget I would consider custom door panels for the Santro and install good components there (Infitny, Illusion, Hertz, etc..). Expect to spend 10-12K for this.

Next I would get a good pair of amps: a monoblock like the JBL 601.1 (20K)for the 2 subs and a 4ch amp like the JBL 75.4 (12K) for the front and rear.

Lastly I would add a pair of coax in the rear for 5-6K and then only seek to upgrade the HU.

No no no Hyderabad Ashok. The guy who did the boot of the Firestarter is a guy called Sennen. That's his first name.

Sanen acoustics is an Indian Company that makes speakers and enclosures.

@aryaan, did you fit Sanen stuff something like these in your car? Found these images on their website, but nothing related to ICE.

Sam, Der Alte,

I have reson to believe that Sanen is now mostly importing and reselling.
