Most of the gear will be from my old Swift - Vxi. Transferred here.

However, I was keen on trying the same bass loading as my wife's I-10
Sealed - Isobarrik - 2 Carbon IM 12's.
But my current boxes will go to waste. That is what I am worried about.

Bhagwanji - Swift sold? With or without all those mods? Hope you got a good price! I am keen on your sub enclosure if it is fashioned as a sealed box for a 12 inch sub. I know you dont do this commercially, hence hinting at you to put it up in the "Giveaway Thread" cheers:

OT - Any updates on your RS upgrade? Liking the new Alpine?

[BHAGWAN]

I have 3 spare 12" enclosures with me.
2 are specifically made for a SKODA.
I will give these away - you only need to take me out for an idli dosa lunch - just kidddin....
Come to the office & collect what ever you want.

The Swift got sold with new seats + new rims + new tyres + new battery @ 340/- K driven 9 K kms.

The Alpine 9887 is OK. But I do not like it. Big mistake I made. The 7200 was a much much better piece.

yes I also like the tweeter placement... i have also felt that the sound is not as good if they are placed in the doors.

As per LBM there is enough space to mount even bigger tweeters.

[Technocrat]

Are the tweeter rotating freely at that point, I mean I hope that they dont start facing downward since for a good imaging they need to be face upwards.

@ Bhagwan,
Didnt like the 9887 much eh ? why so ?

As to the enclosure part, i would be interested in getting a custom made done for my Sub if it really makes a difference.
Before that i need to get my damping sorted out first. The rattling is killing me.
Die Maruti ! for such pathetic build quality.

Work on the Doors + Boot !

Sir, I do not do this commercially.

However, if you want to get a Box done - please do call on me.
We will sit together & get it made.
As per the driver spec & reasonably good quality. You will only pay for actual material and labour. I am serious !!!

Anytime....

sir i know fully well that you are not commercially into ICE

but your offer of helping me build a box is too kind, please do expect me to call on you about that.

sir the car with new rims and seats driven only 9K sold for 340K ? i believe the buyer got a real good price.

+damping?
Would have bought at that price with all those goodies. And considering the condition, it was a steal.

Anyways, lets not hijack this thread too much!

What goodies ?

I only gave the K & N Typhoon + Exhaust.

The Rims + Tyres I removed [OZ i.e. 75/- K]
That will go into the 'new diesel swift' !!!
The Audio I took out.
The Battery I took out.
The Seats I shall remove on Thursday.

Basically I sold my old petrol Swift - 2006 Jan driven 9.5 K to a dealer @ 347/- K with 'brand new' seats + tyres + rims etc. All the things that I shall remove from my new diesel swift.

The Audio was fully removed. I will re install it in the diesel swift. That audio set up costs 200 K +++ if not less, I cannot just give it away !!!

The tweeters can be moved slightly in all four directions to make them face any particular direction.

It looks like the sub is in a sealed enclosure. Does the GZ amp provide enough juice to drive the sealed sub as well as the front compos?

I always thought that a sealed enclosure would best run off a monoblock.

[revved_up]

Yes, the Amp does drive the components and the sub very nicely.

[revved_up]

Update : ICE upgraded

Last weekend I ended my(ongoing) quest for ICE by the addition of rear components and a monoblock amp to my current setup.
Here's what I have now:

HU: Pioneer 5050
Front: iLLusion Electra 6.1 components
Rear: iLLusion Electra 6.1 components
4 Channel amp: Ground Zero GZTA 4.120 MK2(driving the components)
Sub: Ground Zero GZ12 MK2
Monoblock Amp: Kicker ZX300.1
Wiring Kits: Ground Zero, Kicker, Stinger, illusion speaker cable.

I must say that the monoblock amp has done wonders to the setup, I get some really tight bass now.

[PatienceWins]

Great setup.
What is the price of the monoblock?
