Congratulations Raj on getting upgraded ICE for your Scorpio. The configuration appears to be new. The Pioneer 5050 HU is among the best-time will prove it.Do keep us posted about the VTREK component speaker's performance.

Sony co-ax are real let down!!

Please replace them with atleast pioneer !

panky12345 · 12th June 2009, 12:18

chirag bhai.. I dont think he'd be hearing them at all. Waise, perfect suggestion.. :-)

chiragh_bir · 12th June 2009, 12:26

bro even if he is not using them , there is not point investing in stupid speakers , as they are new he can exchange them with pioneer ones !!

karankapoor · 12th June 2009, 12:52

WOW nice install, never heard that brand name VTREAK is this comes with B&W, The build quality of the compo are pretty good hope they sound good to.

+ 1 to that. You are absolutely correct.

Having used them myself, I can safely claim that Sony's are pathetic sounding!

@chirag,panky
the sony speakers are NOT new. they were bought at the time of buying the car (read the 1st post )

when i bought those speakers 1 year back, i knew ABSOLUTELY nothing about ICE. hence the mistake. even if i do consider replacing them, that will be my last priority!

But Friend if u have replaced Your Headunit to Pioneer 5050 you might have lost headunits steering controls.
Please inform me About thr Steering controls as i also own VLX & i also want to upgrade the music system. if the controls are not lost.

yes, sadly the steering controls are lost, but the end result is very good.

tanwaramit · 23rd June 2009, 10:06

so Raj, nice set up you have made. I guess I had seen this JBL bass tube some time back also in some of the pics shared by you.

Loss of steering volume controls is something one can sacrifice for the sound. I guess this doesn't impact the warranty of the car.

You didnt try for DVD player (just an option to add LCD screen later ?)

jithudigitised · 25th June 2009, 00:17

Till then enjoy the Vtrek man.
