| Senior - BHPian  | HU: Pioneer 3950/Comparable JVC: 5K Amp: Blaupunkt GTA4 Special: 6K Front spkr: JBL GTO527: 3.5K (Or GTx series Blau 5.25" coax for 3K or so) Rear spkr: JBL GTO527: 3.5K (Or GTx series Blau 5.25" coax for 3K or so) Pio304: 3.5K Box for sub: 1K Wiring, etc: 2K That's about 22K. But you'll get something that sounds at least twice as better as an all-Sony setup. And you won't need to change the HU/pick-up Lens in a year or so. For an M800, you can skip the sub and get a 6x9 in the back and amp it for reasonable bass: the JBL GTO937 @4K is pretty good. Or there's the new GT5 series 6x9 that should be available soon for 3K or so. Even a 10" sub will be fine in an M800. Listen to Sony by all means *cringe*. Please also listen to the competition before you take a decision  Last edited by hydrashok : 15th October 2007 at 21:48. |

| Senior - BHPian  | Hi Hemanth! I have an 800 in which I have a very basic setup. I have thought of upgrading it and based on my experience, I can give you a few inputs: 1. The door panels in the front need to be modified to fit some speakers in them. If you have the DX version, the magazine holders will have to be removed. I am planning to get that modification to fit a pair of GTO507s. I hate tweeters on the dash and there is no scope for tweeters on the A-pillar, so co-axials are better if you want minimal modification. 2. The boot space in an 800 is very minimal. If you put an amplifier and a sub, the boot will lose about 50% of the space. I am therefore ruling out co-axials on a tray (I have a pair of 6X9s lying with me, GTO937s). Instead, I am planning to modify the rear doors and putting a pair of 637s on the doors. Alternatively, I can fit those 937s on the boot door, which I wouldn't want to. 3. The sub may prove to be overkill for that small car. Things will definitely start rattling since the car has poor interiors and build. Having said this, I still want to put a 4-channel amplifier and a sub in it. My suggestion for your budget would be to get a 4-channel amplifier (GT5 or Blau) and a pair of good 6X9s, like the 937s. Drive the front co-axials or components and the 6X9s off the amplifier and you'll be fine. |

| Senior - BHPian | The reason why I say I still want to do it is because I have a decent setup in my Baleno and now I can't live with some ICE that has no sub.  Besides, my 800 is old and I can modify the door panels without thinking too much. The 800 is my way of tackling Bangalore traffic. I use that car to dodge around and park at will, so I really have no concern for boot space. If any of the above factors bothers you, think about it. |

| Thank you very much for all your valuable suggestions. So finally I have dropped the idea for going for a sub(as suggested by rocksterraghu, due to rattling & overkill )I have shortlisted the following: HU: Pioneer DEH 3950 - 5K Front spkr: JBL GTO527: 3.5K Rear Spkrs: JBL GTO937 - 4k Amp: Blaupunkt GTA4 Special: 6K Where can I get the front door panel modified for accomodating the front speakers(JBL GTO527). Could you suggest any good place for buying the above components. Thanks, Hemanth. |

 I've seen my friend's 2003 model handling it better. And about the location of the front speakers, you can get the door panels modified where you'd have kick-panels in other cars. If you get it any closer to the seat, the seats would muffle the sound since the doors are small and half the speaker would be covered by the seat, you know what I mean. Also, there would be trouble in tackling the window glasses touching and obstructing. You'd have to open up the doors to verify what would be the best location. In addition, I think you'll need to mount them on custom spacer rings on the door. Fellas, correct me where I'm wrong. | |

| Senior - BHPian | gopz, that is the exact location I was talking about. You've got a very neat install done (Anwar, so obviously). I was trying to tell Hemanth that if he moves any closer to the magazine holder or a little higher, the glass starts interfering. The picture should be very helpful. |

You shouldnt be asking this question if you are a BHPian!!! Search for "Anwar", "Auto Fusion", "Thouqeer" etc and you will be amazed to know that there is no match to him in Bangalore!
