| My new Swift with Pioneer HU, front JBL and Kicker ovals I just ICEd my new Swift (Quick Silver) yesterday. I started out with a budget of about 10-13k but ended up with a 15k system, but veery happy with the sound. I got a Pioneer 3090 HU with warranty and anti-theft insurance. Front speakers are JBL 5 and 1/4 " speakers hidden behind the stock grill. The best part of the set up are the rear shelf mounted Kicker DS6930 ovals. I tried out out JBL, but these blew them away (pun intended  ).The HU:  The kickers in the back:   Unfortunately i didnt get any damping done. On the way back from the installer, i tried to tune it up and parts of my car started rattling so keeping it low for now. Need to get some serious damping if i want to use these to the max. Any suggestions on where/how to get this done in Bangalore? |

| why 6 X 9 ? Quote:
May I ask, why did you install 6 X 9's ? There is a lovely place provided to you in the front & rear door for your round co-axil or component speakers. That is what you should have considered. What damping will you do ? Your speakers [main] are in the 'open' on a parcel tray that will 'vibrate' & 'swing' & 'resonate' !!! Sound in a car should only play from the 'front' nothing should ever come from the back. So what is the purpose of installing speakers that play loud from the back ? When we watch TV - Movies in a Theatre - Attend a musical concert etc etc. we listen to the audio from the front - so why should it be any different in a car ? Can some one shed some light on this. I would appreciate it.... Thanks, | |

| BHPian  | Bhagwan Ji, this is not a nice welcome!  Let him first enjoy his ICE, then when he'll listen to something (as specified by you) i am sure he'll get back to the forum and look for decent compos and then go for dampening. All the best mate!! |

Never mindthat Nickoo, this guy Bhagwan really knows his stuff, i have been reading his posts and his choices are really impressive(Quite Quite pricey though  ) He should be charging for giving out all the information he gives for free  I am kicking myself for putting Pioneer 6 X 9 in my car but going to put Component Speakers shorlty. | |

| sorry sir - did not mean to offend !! Sir, I did not mean to offend any person or product. PTC is 'known to me rather well' !! I do not want to run down Kicker. It is a 'good product' My contention was not against any person or installer. But, I just wanted to know why 6 X 9's were chosen ? That is all. The Swift has a great OE location - in the doors. Just put components in the front & co-axils in the back & you will be set. There is no need for damping or what ever else. All that is only needed if one wants to go up the ladder. If, I 'offended' anyone - my apology. Quote:

My knowledge of ICE is severly limited.  . I just went along with what the installer told me was the 'popular' of doing it. Can i move ovals into the fronts still? I thought the front slots are for rounds only? If i can i certainly will. While i was getting the set up done, i was sitting in the back seat with my friend and the sound was just brilliant. Didnt realize it wouldnt sound as good when i'll be in the front  | |
