ICE Upgrade

Impressive Job Paras. Appreciate the DIY spirit. Makes you have a deeper connection with your equipment and thoroughly enjoy your music.

Dont worry too much on the carpeting part. Can always be redone. More on it when we meet

I will say it again. Impressive.
While we chatted, I never thought you'd go forward and complete your desired setup in such a short time.
But you have and have DIYed it.

A job well done. Looks like meeting my old pal Mr. Krome is going to be fun :-)

hey nitrous,
the brutus subs are underrated at 600RMS per sub, they handle 1000RMS per sub like a champ after they break in. that would be the 2006D. this is actually what maxxsonics told me i should use, but i settled for the 1606D to be on the safer side.

i am currently running about 1400-1450RMS into both the subs at 1 ohm.

btw, u coming to delhi?

clipto333 · 5th January 2008, 12:17

nice. good job paras. congrats and enjoy the music.

now, what you will have to change is that sony amp. BTW whats the model no of the sony?
see, if you are fine with it, then keep it, but you will hear a difference for sure when you upgrade to a better amp. baaki, if you happy, we happy. :-)

it is a good decision to go for the 0g wiring. You have a crdi? or petrol.

can you switch off the lights(sub, comps)

i once tried to get the MDF cut from professional aari wala(table saw?) he cut it wrong. it took me 2 days to correct everything and i ended up with a small enclosure. lol now i DIY.

low_bass_makker · 5th January 2008, 12:18

Hmm...nice amp 1600 x 1 at 1 ohms. that is some serious ****. How much damage ? And waiting to hear the install.
