During an Eclipse, the Swift tends to Infinity

DocG · 24th May 2009, 12:48

Anil congrats that the ICEing is done (Well for now)

glad to hear that none of the stuff is DOA. That would've been a bummer. But I'd suggest good damping to be done at least for the the front doors and the boot if you listen to high volumes.

Hope to hear a more in depth review of your ICE once they're broken in

Yes yes! I can hear you guys. Damping needs to be done. Me and Sathee are planning to order Noisekill or something pretty soon. Do you think Fiberglassing (like Amey did) helps control door vibrations ?

Eddy · 24th May 2009, 17:13

You let go of the wonderful feature of Steering controls ?

I am sure the system sounds great but..................

VOiLA · 25th May 2009, 02:28

great choice bro...congratulations !
please tell us about the infinity components....did you audition Electra's ? Did you get the infinity amp locally ?

//thanks and enjoy your sexy sounding setup !

Amey · 29th May 2009, 11:35

Congrats ! Simple and sweet setup.

abhibh · 8th June 2009, 14:29

Congrats FH. Nice equipment and do get the car damped soon. I like that small Polk sub.

Whats the cost of that Infinity Amp and Polk Sub ?

And how about some pics of tweeter / amp / crossover location ?

Is it just me or there are no pics of the installation? What do you know about the installation m4ugr8 that we don't?

phamilyman · 8th June 2009, 14:53

LOL. Or he saw the pics of facebook and replied on teambhp?

Trust Sam to figure out such trivial stuff

Hi guys,
Planning to get a Mono for the same. Main reason being I want the 4-ch amp to power all the 4 speakers. The rear speakers are still stock, but want to upgrade. So I need suggestions for the same.

For the amp, I guess I'll go for Infinity, because I liked the performance on the 475a, and also would maintain symmetry in design

Which one of the two - 1300a or 1600a - will do ? And the rear speakers ?

abhinav.gupta88 · 2nd July 2009, 17:02

What is the rated power of the Polk and is it SVC/DVC and what Ohm SVC/DVC?

Its 4-ohm DVC with 200W RMS and 400W Peak

nitrous · 2nd July 2009, 17:37

For 200 RMS, the 1300a will do.
Btw, how did you run 4-ohm DVC off a bridged channel all this while?

abhinav.gupta88 · 2nd July 2009, 17:44

I guess he must have been powering both the coils seperately.
The 1300a gives around 300@ 2 ohms so it would be quite good. Just keep in mind setting the gains correctly.

nitrous · 2nd July 2009, 18:07

He's also running his fronts off the 4-ch amp, ag.
I think he's giving an impedance fo 2 ohms to the bridged channel and the amp is managing.
