Grrrrrr...

*jealous* Not fair that I don't get to listen to all these installs!

And seriously, nice review!

Hey I didn't know the Alpine 9857 went into the Corolla (mental note: must audition again). Hell, I didn't even know you guys had a meet. :(

Ahaa zakie, i somehow missed your post, just read through it. Thank you for a honest and straightforward review. Im totally with you on the pointers given, except one update that the comps cost 5.5k now for the last few months...

Since I already had a Kenwood 8529 HU, I got the Bull stuff: ...

Congratulations on being BULLed. Enjoy The Bull Run(both in the Corolla and at Dalal Street!!!!)

That was one real good review Zak, but since the prices have gone up it is now in tune with in the range of Boston/Kicker Basic Comps. But haven't heard these elusive bulls nor have I seen them. Other than the color the speakers look real solidly built.

hey friend
bull audio is gaining popularity these days, something offtopic though, i dont know why would some company call their speakers and stuff bull audio , lolz, i am sure that they are good value for money, sometimes i wonder, is there really a difference betwen buying a 7k illusion 6.1 or hertz dsk for 6k or bull audio for 5500, i mean while keeping the other hardware same would the speaker sound miles apart or will there be subtle unnoticable differences?

You've answered it yourself.. best way is to listen BEFORE you form an opinion about any particular brand.

Which Dalal Street are you refering to. The Sensex in Mumbai has lost 70% of it's value in less than a year.

Said that deliberately

. Had there been a "Bear Audio" that would have been in sync with today's condition no?

Autopsyche infromed me he has just added a subwoofer to his existing setup. Autopsyche please post the pics of the installed subwoofer. Note like I have said before we prefer pics of products either after they are installed or in the process of being installed. We have seen enough pics of products and their packaging.

hey arush could you put up a pic of the head unit installed. I am planing to get a single din for my corolla and i am not too sure about its looks.

also need to see how is it installed.local guy giving me crazed ideas of making a wooden frame or shelling out 5000 for the din adaptor from toyota.

Dash kit for the Corolla costs US $20. It fits perfectly and can be installed yourself. It comes only in black and can look a little odd in the otherwise beige interior.

If I remember correctly there was someone who advertised selling Dash kits for the Corolla in the Classifieds Section. They were last quoting Rs.1950/-. You should probably check there first.

Avoid the wooden frame. A shoddy job can ruin your interior.

Guys Please let Autopsyche post his pics first!
