nah! see my previous posts. rms ratings are a rough guide. 100W rms will drive most subs.

Navin in the current setup what do you recommend...or are u saying tht i should put another amp for sure.....please recommend...I want to fix this issue asap...as there is no Bassssss

navin · 11th September 2005, 01:15

what recomendations do you need. just get a sony 502 and let either the Kenwoods or the subs (bridge amp) use that.

Hey Junta

Got the system for my OHC...

HU - Blaupunkt Bermuda MP35
Rear - JBL GTO 936e
Front - JBL GTO 506 compos

Played Eagles and Floyd just now on a drive to Worli Seaface.... it is bliss !!!!

The Blau is a great HU to the amazing performance of the JBLs.

Just one issue... which may lead to my changing the HU too...

it does not tune in to Even Frequencies on FM... dunno whether it is designed that way or am i missing something.

But otherwise I am really satisfied with the combo... thanx to gurus here.

Total cost with B&W including discounts and bargains - 17.7k

Thanks people once again.

shine on .. crazy diamond

Is it an issue with all brands

If m not mistaken... these are designed on the US stds wherein the FM freqs are only odd numbered.

Anybody with Sony/JVC etc or other Blau/Alpine models facing this issue?

moodswings · 11th September 2005, 01:24

I think I have got your point...will test put the 502 for the woof and see the difference

moodswings · 11th September 2005, 01:26

Kenwoods and Clarions i have seen operationg FM and they are damn good
