Of course you do. But then you loved the Electras and the GZ amp too

The Im 12 Sub maxes out at 300W... the DLS amp outputs 400W @ 4 ohms bridged!

frankmehta · 21st April 2009, 01:39

the DLS does the front soundstage @ 130W per side and the Rf does the sub @ 325W. im happy :-P

Did you go in for a dual battery or something??? Doesn't your battery run down real quick with that super heavy sound system?

why he needs 2 battery,one battery will easily handle this kind of power.

abhinav.gupta88 · 21st April 2009, 10:27

Frank, will the DLS and Eclipse come by May 22?

chiragh_bir · 21st April 2009, 10:52

Why don't you buy Somer cables instead of stinger?

Hey Alex. I've been running a 2 amp setup since 4 months. No battery issues yet. My only precaution is that I switch the system on only after i start the car. That's the least one can do to maintain the longevity of the battery

kk is right. As far as I know, he is running a much more power hungry setup on his Swift. Its the quality of the installation that matters too.

I'm quite sure it will. I'm Planning accordingly so that you and i can go to Hermit Audio that day and get it installed:-)

I did a lot of research. A lot! Rcas can only be good to a point. It's a huge debate. And the general consensus is that not many can distinguish between $50 and $1000 cabling on the same setup. As long as one installs the setup correctly, and the Rca chosen is not faulty, the rca cable itself doesn't make much of a difference. Besides, Stinger Helix is one of the higher trusted and preferred Rcas around the world. Research kiya tha :-)

chiragh_bir · 21st April 2009, 11:12

you said it right.

i was telling you cause Somer can be repaired from the ends where it is attached to rca plugs .

Frank i think now its time for you to get the thread title changed.. now your ride is not JBLed any more and it is due to fly in some time as the grounded parts are leaving it.

Lets leave Arpazd in Abhinav's company at night. Frank will be busy with Mohan/Shafiq, since he will be closely monitoring the install. Me and Hermit can drink in the meantime. What say Franky?

P.S. Is it going to be at Kalaghoda this time Frank?
