Hello everybody !
After a lot of posting on t-bhp, saving money towards ICE and hunting I have been able to round up compo speakers, a 15" subbie and 2 amplifiers.
Now Im allready aware that the equipment I have isnt perfectly matched/suited to my car (santro zipdrive) but this is what I now have and Im going to put it to use
Current install :
HU : Pioneer 7650
Front : Pioneer TS20 Tweeter
Rear : Pioneer TS-6891r (6" x 9") 4-way

Sony Xplod 502 amp
I also have the following
waiting to be installed :
* JBL GTO 606ce * Alpine MRP f-240 * JBL GT-4 Sub 15" * 1200 watt 1/2/3 channel amplifier (Chinese manufactured, local amp) General Specs of JBL GT4-15 (sub) Frequency Response 20Hz - 400Hz Sensitivity 91dB Impedance 4 Ohms Voice-Coil Diameter 50mm Cut-Out Diameter 362mm Mounting Depth 172mm Overall Diameter 385mm Vas 133 liter Qts 0.44 Fs 28.36Hz Qes 0.47 Qms 7.35 Sealed Enclosure (vol)43L Vented Enclosure (vol)113L
Regarding the amplifier :
Some background regarding the amplifier -
1 x 1200 watts bridged
2 x 600 watts
2 x 300 watts @ 4 ohms 0.03% THD
Sensitivity (signal to noise) 102 db
Frequency response 10Hz - 35KHz (+1db)
I know Im probably going to get the flake regarding this amplifier - quality, build, performance, quality etc etc.. the list goes on. Its a no-name brand but im told has been built well and engineered based on some reputed amps.
This amp is branded as "US - Thunder" and is a manufactured in China but marketed as being developed in San Francisco. I know this makes it sound ambiguos but read on....
An old family friend of ours is involved in the company that manufactures distributes the amp and he is looking to export the amps to other asian countries. He has vouched for the performance of the amp and Im now in posession of a new unit. As a show of support and to support him I decided to take up the offer and invest a little in the amp. As of now we havent discussed costs etc and he wants me to use it for a while and let him know what I think. I think its a fair enough deal as this goes beyond just ICE and its sort of a personal favour to a friend.
Now getting back on track, can I have your suggestions on the best possible setup for the equipment ?
The sony 502 can now be laid to rest or put to use in a friends car. Thank god.
The rear 6x9" will be retained and Im hoping to disengage the tweeter to reduce the harsh bright soudns of these 4ways.
If you need some more technical specs of the US Thunder amp let me know I can get them for you.
Thanks in advance
Oh yeah a while earlier I was confused regarding whether santro front door could accomodate 6.5" It seems like it can be accomodated after all.
I saw someone with 5.25" MDF ring and he said similar could be worked out for 6.5".
