@JPL,
---------------OT-------------------
Use the balance 30K to buy an N73, or save it up and buy the N95 when it comes out in March. Don't go without a cool phone! And enjoy your ICE!

Next time we'll attempt at convincing "the bakra" to sell his car so he can pay for his ICE! How funny will that be?

5. Blau 6x9 in the rear
6. JBL 1204 BR box sub
7. RCA- Pyle
8. Power cable -Pyle
The total came to 51k

With 30K "left over" i'd do the following. Spend 5K on damping atleast the front doors - I dont see any above. Spend 15K on a good Canon digicam (a710 or a630) and 10K on a phone (Samsumg X820, M600, or anything you like better). My wife uses a N73 and it's pics dont come close to that of even a decent digicam. I dont expeect the N95 or any current generation mobile phone to compete with even a basic digicam yet.

BTW have you posted this on What ICE at what Price thread?

hello!.guess this this is my first post in this thread..i was just wondering how good are the head units and other ice stuff of an company called eclipse..

came across one of it's dvd touch screen head units..found it pretty impressive..

navin · 6th January 2007, 09:59

I hear Eclipse is now available in Bangalore. THey make some good stuff esp the 5000. However I am also told (like many other marques) their build quality is not was it used to be (they dont make them like they used to) but like I said earlier this is true of many brands today. I dont think my 2003 Alpine is a patch on my 1987 Alpine when it comes to build quality.

jkdas · 6th January 2007, 12:24

1.3k less from mrp with warranty. nah i wont say which dealer coz i need to get more stuffs frm him

by the way, it was for a lancer

Sam Kapasi · 6th January 2007, 14:59

I don't have a problem with dealers that sell for less.

It's the ones that sell for more than MRP I don't like JKD!

I have fine old ear wax also if you like... Methinks with all that, I should be able to reproduce JPL's JBL system.

And you better give me a good deal, else I'll just have to go to somebody who will, sayyyy gunbir or ajay...

Q1. When you say heavily abused N9500, what exactly is the nature of this abuse?

Q2. Do you mean 'slightly used wind-proof lighters' or 'used, slightly wind-proof lighters'?

Q3. What brand are the cigarette butts?

Q4. If your Lancer doesn't have an A pillar and a C Pillar, what is the B pillar still doing?

To summarize, a very nice uffer.. uh, offer. Vary Niiiiiice! High Five!!!

So a pair of TS20 tutors for my fine old ear wax. SOLD to the gentleman with the lemons.

Ajay, your turn now... some nice bhaass from uffers made by ichiban pliss, maybe? I'll give you half my ciggie butts. The non-gunbir spanked ones...

"...had you..."? I'm sure that "drop the soap in mens shower" wouldn't work on you!

Itchybahn no make uffer. Itchybahn make fluoroscent lip-istick. Made as Japan. Joey Tribbiani models for it. Hence I can make no counter-offer.

I would uffer you some offer from our other ranges but then you will have to buy the ampli also. And if you don't do that it will be very difficult for me to tweak your bottom end.

Sam Kapasi · 6th January 2007, 22:36

Gentlemen, what is this conversation? & Elf, why are you ruining our good ICE section with your bad influence?

Gentlemen I have something I need to do now.

A.U.D.I.O. *Sam wears an afro wig and sings to the tune of D.I.S.C.O. & dancing hard*

Sing and dance with me you absolutely no-good wasters of team-BHP server space, come on!!

A.U.D.I.O.!!! We are A.U.D.I.O.

I hope I've gotten the message across to you in my own subtle, special way.

Let's discuss audio now.

navin · 6th January 2007, 22:45

I agree Sam. A little smile is ok but this can disintegrate into mindless hash.

Sam's message is clear.

elf · 7th January 2007, 13:05

In honour of the restraint bug that's recently taken a rather large chunk out of my behind, I would now like to withdraw from any further verbal duelling on this forum. M. Kamath, meet me at dawn on ze banks of ze byootifil Seine... Vee shall 'ave ze fight to ze finnish. En garde!

Touche gentlemen. I have been silenced... No. Not like the lambs.

Vipul.Sharma · 8th January 2007, 17:46
