| BHPian | Well, Slowly things are moving. One good news is that the guy who's bringing the HU and the Stinger wiring is coming down in the last week of July, so the wait time reduces. For the Front Illusion Electra tweeters, they gave me a helluva time last 2 weeks. I had fixed them using double sided tapes. Now, every morning I would find one of them, at times both fallen of the wall. So decided to go for a tweeter stand fabricated (like the one ShuvC has in his Car). Thanks to Ajay for having the stands fabricated. Right now, there are a few options floating for the Amp. An aquaintance of mine was looking for a buyer for his JBL GT 75.4 Amp. This could not have come a better time since I was in the process of confirming the orders. Since I would get some time in hand ven if I wanted to get the GZTA4.120MK2 Amp, so I decided to try the 75.4 on my car, As the guy said that he would let me hook it up on my car. At the same time I am also checking out the JBL GTO1004. This one is supposedly successor of 75.4 and has a few good reviews in a few threads. So it seems that I might as well settle down for the the 1004 too. Still a bit undecided  (man, this is tough).So I went ahead and ordered for the rest of the stuff. I have added a Neutrik Speakon to the list, as that comes real handy if you want to pull your sub out of the system, to temporarily get some boot space. So currently the items and price distribution goes this way. __________________________________________________ _________ Alpine CDA 9886 - 10200 ( already procured) JBL GT CS.60.2 - 3500 ( already procured) GZ TA4.120MKČ(or) JBLGT75.4 (or) JBLGT1004 - 10990(b&W) or 7500(no b&W) or 11200(no b&W) JBL GTO937 - 4200 ( already procured) Illusion Electra 52 comp - 5950 ( already procured) GZTW 12MKČ SUB - - 5490 (ordered for) Sealed Box - 1500(Ordered for) Neutrik Speakon +Noise Kill Damping - 4000(Ordered for) Stinger SWK8RS Pro Series 8 Gauge Car Audio Amp Kit w/ RCA - 1900(already procured) __________________________________________________ _________ Now suggestions are required for the layout of the above mentioned in the Indica Boot. I would actually need suggestions to layout the amps. Please gurus, any ideas for a clean layout. I want to stay away from making the boot a battlefield of cables and wires. @Nura : Doc , thanks a million tons for the contacts of the mdf board maker at Chandni Market and the installer for the HU. These are really valuable info for me. @Razor : Thanks a ton for agreeing to help me out with the damping DIY coming up. @ShuvD : Thanks for all the help ( you know what) @ShuvC : Thanks for bearing with all those calls at odd hours. I am extremely sorry for not having posted any pics till date. However, please bear with me, I promise a lot of pics coming up. Suggestion/Advice required. Can anyone tell me if an aftermarket Steering wheel mounted remote is available for Alpine HUs? Last edited by Rehaan : 2nd July 2008 at 07:34. Reason: Posts merged. |

the rear seat is usually 60:40. Use the larger (60%) seat back. This will allow you to bring in the RCA wire from the left side of the car and the power wires from the right side of the car. | |

Just a thought. I might be wrong too. Considering the height of the Indica Seta back rest, if I place the amps one above the other, I mean arrange them in a column, in that case the amps would be too close to each other. Would the heat generated from each of them be an issue for each other? | |

| BHPian | Pics of a few of the items The Noise Kill Damping material, Amp and the sub arrived today. I am posting a few photos of the same. I had asked Ajay to have Neautrik Speakon connector custom fitted in the sealed box, so that if I need the boot of the Xeta, I can disconnect the Sub in a moment. That has been done in a nice way. Now the problem is that I dont understand which one of the Sub terminals are +ve and which one is -ve. I guess will have to take out the neutrik female connector from the sub body and peer through the hole with a strong light to check that. Or am I being too dumb. I got a scare when I opened the huge package today. The speaker grill was bent as if A WWF wrestler had fought with it and was bent inward into the Sub!!  I was scared to my wits and thought that the sub had gone for a toss. However on slowly removing the sub grill. I found that Mr. GZTW 12MK2 was absolutley safe after such a rough journey from Mumbai to Kolkata. The The GTO 1004 amp was sourced from Kolkata. @My friend and fellow bhpian ShuvD, thanks a million tonnes for all the help, and kindly agreeing to pick the amp up from the shop. Thanks for living through so many calls for the past few days. A few photographs of the items |

I installed the Amp and the sub this morning. Not much work. Just replaced the Sony Amp and the Sub. A temporary setup , this is. After the alpine HU and the Stinger wiring reaches me. I will have to fix an MDF board and then fix the amps onto that. The boot space is absolutely cramped now. Its a battle field of wires. However, my two hours of installation and adjustment really payed off. I was surprised by the difference in SQ. Now I know why SONY is detested by the Audiophiles. My god! I heard jingles and notes I never heard before. The damping is yet to be done. I plan to do that next week. Here are some pictures of the temporary setup. | |
