StealthBaleno · 12th January 2009, 00:03

Hi Guru's
I am new to the world of In Car entertainment and need help from you guys for selecting a good system for my Baleno VXI.My bugest it approx 50,000 Rs.

The following are the components on which i need help:

IDE
Front Speakers
Rear Speakers
Sub Woofer
Amp
Wiring Kir

And on anything else which i have missed in the above list

I am planning to get the above installed at the earliest. so guys i need help from you guys in selecting an ideal system configuration for my car!

And also please let me know as to which of the brands is better Polk audio systems or JBL.

Thankx!

What are you referring to by "IDE"?

navin · 12th January 2009, 10:28

IDE = In Dash Exciter? :-) in which case we can assume it means HU.

Allocate about 10K for damping, wiring and labour for install
HU with 3 pre outs and TA: 14K
Amp: 7K
Front/Rear Speakers: 12K
Sub with box: 7K

In my view getting TA and being able to 'bring the sub to the front' is one option one should aim to do if one can afford it (read as 'spending upwards of 14K for a HU').

The other part of the system that is often over looked is a well made, non-resonant subwoofer box.

Lastly please use your ears. Amps speakers and HUs differ a lot in their sonic character.

DerAlte, I think that must be a typo or probably he meant "In Dash Equipment - HU"

abhinav.gupta88 · 12th January 2009, 11:29

Couldn't agree more with Navin Ji.
However i think its better to have 10k for the amp
To get the JBL GTO 1004e. Atleast a good amp in a 50k setup.

Do audition setups before
12k for speakers means you can get illusion / jbl compos and 3-way coaxials.

14k for a hU means Alpine is the way to go.
7k for sub and box means Ground Zero Entry Level sub.

I think Eclipse 3200 might be a good buy at that price range, if he can source it.

ethanhunt123 · 12th January 2009, 15:09

Eclipse 3200 doesnt have TA i think. If not stuck up on TA, Kenwood 6539U / BT7539U is a awesome choice. better than Pio's for SQ.

The Alpine 9887 is available for 15k in national market, Bangalore if you can live with grey market stuff.

Sorry my bad, 7200 mkII has TA, and it is pretty expensive. Me too looking for a HU with TA for my next upgrade.

Hi Guru's
Thank you all for the advice given. IDE actually was a typo mistake,i was actually refering to the HU.

.sorry about the same..What do you guys mean by TA?...any specific HU which has TA...

.
need more of suggestions if u guys have missed out on something.And also any information about some good car shop who can do the job for me..

Regards
Stealth

ethanhunt123 · 13th January 2009, 23:06

TA means Time Alignment. Basically it compensates for the differing distances of different speakers from your seat.

For car shops, I would recommend Evo in Cambridge Layout. Other shop which has a good reputation on TBHP is Anwar's in Koramangala.

StealthBaleno · 15th January 2009, 22:49

Hi
Which speakers should i go for. My choices are

JBL
Illusion
Polk

Suggestions required! i will get the ICE done this weekend..

Thanks a lot!!

ameenmaj · 15th January 2009, 23:43

My vote for Polk db6501 or Illusion electra 6.1

ethanhunt123 · 16th January 2009, 00:53

I have the JBL Power Series comps and they are really awesome for the price (10.5k). Much better than the Polk or Illusion.
