the wiring

from the battery

through the firewall

all wrapped up near the amp

RCA's being installed - the only part which looked fake to me - the kicker RCA's were very puny. I'd seen better looking MX RCA's



spring clip terminals being installed for the speaker

I like that cost-effective damping. For the cost, the effect must be terrific!

Yup it does the job really well. If it's in the boot then there is no issue. The problem with having it in the doors is water entering. Being cloth type material it will absorb water in the rain and may lead to a foul smell and rust.

Another good option I have seen installers use is closed cell foam. Inexpensive and needs to be glued onto the panel.

at the horn install.
Relocate the horns to a higher location IMMEDIATELY.
I'm sure you don't want your money to go down the drain.

But i cant go back to ekm right now, and i dont trust any of the local shops, what to do. either way, rainy season is after some more time. guess i have to be a lot more careful

[greenhorn]

and last but not least, the piece de resistance, the sub!

it looks as good as it sounds

we've heard about BOSE , but what about MOSE

the driver

the box being made

even though i asked for sealed, Mr Z suggested a ported sub. he said that in this specific case, a ported was the better option

amp installed on the back of the rear seat

the end !

[abhinav.gupta88]

Looks good.
Break up of the price please.
And ya congrats.

[panky12345]

how much did you buy your horns for? MRP? 1350?

[greenhorn]

the prices:
progrip steering wheel cover : 550
horns : 1350 + installation(plus switch in dash) = 1900 ( i think thats a bit high)
damping in front + rear MDF plank for rear door = 2.5k
sub = 6.5k , demo piece, discount @ 40% = 3.9k
amp, not sure of the prices, ~4k
got the total amp + sub + box + wiring+ labour quote at 11.8k

Congrats, greenhorn! Good stuff there! So how does it all sound now?

I run the same horns. Had a pair in my old Palio. (They went with the Palio.) I got another pair for the Swift. 2-wheelers and Autos will give you right of way. I got both sets installed from the same place.

Any pics of the other install?

[greenhorn]

you mean the red swift that came with me ?
are you psychic
waiting for him to register. I'll let him post since I'm not allowed to.
it sounds sweeeeeet . its just that now I'm worried about my horns (maybe i should start calling myself redhorn now ) getting wet and the damping getting damp

Oho? So there was another install? A Swift huh? I actually meant a new Ikon that came from TVM, that got an install done the same day as yours. I thought you folks knew each other.

[greenhorn]

ah, navigator's ikon. I didnt take pics of that as his install was done a bit late in the day - we went off hunting for an ATM, and was too busy auditioning
what did he say ?

[frankmehta]

REDhorn, that's an interesting report of the install.. Good job. wish the 'distributors of steg' had a demo Amp like you got of your sub lol.. Would buy it at the 40% discount lol..

[jkdas]

Just heard it. Snif sniff. I need $ asap!

Forgot to see/sit in the rear though!
