& what problem are u facing with MTX?

Will be going to the dealer in the next couple of hours to see the Focals. My biggest fear right now is whether they are genuine or not. since i have some recognition points for fake and original, will see.
The guy was also offering me JL Audio components (XT650-Csi). It's a discontinued model but the price was same as focals.
Will share the prices after the install.

@abhibh- Can you pleas share your experience of Nakamichi compo and JL Audio compo w.r.t. to rainbow's?

I didn't liked Nakamichi much. I have heard 2 different models and both of them on a good HU (8650 and Alpine 9830) and Amps. They are pretty harsh and bright.

JL were pretty nice. I don't remember the model number but they were pretty smooth sounding.

Though none of them can compete with the Bass level of the Rainbow SAX. Even though i am just powering the Rainbows with 50W they kick pretty hard. Even Infinity Kappa compos powered through Infinity Amp lacked the midbass level of Rainbows. Though i liked Kappa alot. They are all in one in different league than Reference series which i heard last year.

Ankit it was nice meeting you. I am glad you liked the Components. Try to contact D1, Morten, maverick55 and audition their cars. I will let you know as soon as i get in contact with the JL guy.

Also don't buy the AMP as of now. First decide on the components. There will never be a shortage of JBL stuff specially the 1004.

P.S. You will have hard time deciding between Rainbows, Hertz and ID. Though I have auditioned all and Rainbow kicks harder than both of them.

ankit_chd · 8th March 2009, 14:38

hey , can anyone confirm me prices of Rainbows , ID and Hertz ....
And abhibh u still in delhi ? if yes then please look for a good 4 channel amp too .

superbhikari · 9th March 2009, 12:44

PM gunbir, noidaboy for the latest prices of Rainbow and ID. Last heard the MRP were -
Rainbow SLX DLX - 12.5k
Rainbow SLG Kick - 14.9k
ID CTX 65cs - 13.9k

abhibh · 10th March 2009, 22:05

I am back from Delhi. So what have you decided ? Or Still confused hehe.

ankit_chd · 11th March 2009, 00:32

Rainbows r somewhat decided but will audition hertz once ;D

ankit_chd · 12th March 2009, 22:15

Hey guys , please help me with amplifier , very confused regarding a 4 channel amplifier . Budget is tight , max to max 11k . Will be powering my Blau vpc 172 and a new set of components ( rainbows or Hertz undecided ) .

And i need help for Subs too ... I have Hifonics Brutus 1208 D . I dont want very loud sub , budget is short and tight around 6-8 k .

Power ratings for Brutus is 450W x 1 Channel at 4 ohms - 900W x 1 Channel at 2 ohms - 1200W x 1 Channel at 1 ohm

Thinking of powering a sub at 2 ohms .... 1 1000rms sub will do great job ( a guess ;D )

Please and do tell me gud installers in Delhi ( new to forums so plz kindly help ) , will be coming delhi for the installation and components n wirings .

superbhikari · 12th March 2009, 22:41

There's a Genesis Profile2 2ch-amp up for sale in t-bhp classifieds for 12k. Have a look at it too ankit_chd.

Ankit increase your budget for sub. The type of music you listen to have very fast and overlapping bass. There are only 2 subs which i found to be good for playing psy trance etc.

1. JL Audio
2. iD

Both wont fit your budget.

Regarding installers contact Driven or GYRO.
