Yes I Agree,
Being the owner of both the cars (Swift and i10), i confirm that Swift allows more music outside than i10 (comparable to Xing)

This was experienced, when i moved my whole setup (HU, Compos, Coax and Amp) from i10 to Swift.

The Swift i feel is not as tightly packed as an i10 or even a Xing. I hope you get what i mean by tightly packed, lots of small gapings, esp between body and boot contact.

i ll see if i can get a picture of the same to explain better

@mi10- yeah i second that. especially the rear windshield and boot are isolated using just the rubber sealing. there is actually a gap between the rear glass and the body. and ofcourse both the xing and i10 have very tightly packed door panels whereas the swift has relatively very thin plastic panels and lots of empty space between the panels and the outer body.

@gunner fan- dunno about the front speakers you are using but the HU is i think a tad bit expensive but i think you've made it even with the speakers .

try infinity 9633i for rear. take auditions and only then make the decision.

cheers

)

Gunner Fan, omitting a zero created such a stir (Lolz), anyhow Welcome back.

I have a Xing with JBL GT5-S12 1200w Sub powered by JBL S644 Amp. When played Loud, loud enough that the Inside Rear View Mirror is vibrating as if its shivering, one is not able to listen the bang bang going on inside from the outside. Such wonderful is the built of the Xing.
