For 50% of the price it is really nice. And it can be used for caru audio too.

Blaupunkt, JBL, Pioneer ( they even haev band pass ones) have sub boxes. Price from 6k up for Blau and JBL. I am not sure about teh Pioneer pricing.

delu · 28th June 2006, 22:36

well jk your pricing stuff is really going to help me a lot.

Now can anybody throw some light that a flat packing seald sub box is available at US or not. I know one is available at walmart. anything else? So if my weight limit permits I'll carry one from here.

BTW, I picked up my second 14g speaker wire rim (15 mts) as you all suggested. Also I picked up some 16-14g tap connectors, quick connects etc. Anything else I'm missing or its a waste carring it here from US.

Buddy.... YOu have much better carpenters these parts... PLEASE dont use up weight limit lugging around some piece of wood considering you could perhaps get a better one made for lesser locally here in India!

jkdas · 28th June 2006, 22:45

dude, as Kb said, just get a nice HU and maybe an amp(s). Rest you can get frm here. And what are we here for!

delu · 29th June 2006, 09:19

agreed to kb and jk, but it was sam who recomended to get a boxed sub. sam; want to explain why?

BTW, which one should get preference, wooden sub box or medium density fibre board sub box?

navin · 29th June 2006, 12:42

Box material is immaterial! LOL.

As long as the box is stiff enough and does not resonate dont worry what it is made out of.

I reccomended a boxed sub, as those boxes are well designed and perfectly suited to a woofer's characteristic. Saves a lot of hassle. A bix is just not any box. And you can't just put a 12" woofer in any box that accomodates a 12" woofer. When you do make a box, it has to be made. Well made, considering all your woofer's characteristics.; Not too many people can or will go through the entire hassle of that.
Also i didn't recommend that you carry a boxed sub from the USA - that would be madness

I merely recommeded it, assuming you were going to buy the boxed sub here.

navin · 29th June 2006, 12:54

I would recommend Active-Boxed subs if there were good ones available. Given the limited operating range of a subwoofer one can make an average amp do the job of a better amp if one could tweak it to an particular subwoofer and use the amp to complement the sub (by tweaking the Qtc, etc..).

Hi,

Can I request the forum for recommendations of HU and 5.25" front speaker (totaling around 25K) that I can audition for our Ford Escort. I have had to move the earlier ICE set-up (Blau, Infinity, based) a few weeks ago to an Elantra I use more often.

I listen to CD's of varying Genres. SQ is preferred.

PS: I am sorry if this specific query has been addressed before. A search of this vast thread did not turn up a suitable recommendation.

navin · 29th June 2006, 17:09

For the HU I would ask you to consider Clarion 766 and for the front speakers Hertz, Infinity, Alpine or Polk.

Dont about the prices, and I have not heard the Hertz or Clarion so I am recommending you to listen first.
