Query on JBL

i think 15K will get the cheapest alpine HU so budget 40K for all.

navin · 24th August 2005, 19:17

I have not seen them and I have asked around. I wanted the basslink t. they are expensive too.

Thanks!

Hey JJ

No we dont. However it can be ordered. it IS expensive.

navin · 25th August 2005, 12:18

the bass link T is about $600 in the US. would be about rs. 40-50K here just for a sub. right?

Sam Kapasi · 25th August 2005, 12:31

Infinity BassLink - Rs 20,000/-
Basslink T - Rs 40,000/-

15 day lead in

hey thanks for the info sam... is there a bass tube... can u tell me what exactly it does...

navin · 25th August 2005, 13:04

a bass tube is a subwoofer in a tube now what does a subwoofer do? I forget......*scratching my head* :-) sorry for the sarcasam but i am a bit nutty today. lack of sleep i guess.

Sam Kapasi · 25th August 2005, 13:37

Be Nice navin.. lol

Hey red, a bass tube, is a subwoofer in a tube that looks like you have an LPG tank in your boot. You can see the product at www.fxaudio.com its called the CS1200T

observer · 25th August 2005, 14:11

In a Baleno(not yet bought), what if I install just the Infinity Components in the front and JBL GTO 6" ones in the rear? No sub, no amp, a Sony/Pioneer HU.

I do not want to play very loud. I would prefer more detailed sound at moderate volume.

Would it be just a compromise with low freq without the sub? Or is that mid-bass drivers of components are not sufficient?

Thanks

navin · 25th August 2005, 15:52

a chain is only as strong as the weakest link.
i would strongly recommend an amp as not using one would strain the HU even at low volumes.
let Sam know your budget and he will offer you the best solution. When it comes to that sort of advice Sam is about the best you can get. Trust him. I would.

Thanks Navin!

My budget is under 15K.

Sam Kapasi · 25th August 2005, 19:06

Hi Observer,

Infinity compos and JBL GTO in the back? I think thats a bad combination. Tell me what your favourite astists are, what kind of music you listen to. I strongly suggest the same branded speakers front and back.

With a budget of 15 k you can get components, speakers and an amp. Forget the woofer for now.
However in Infinity you wont get all 3 in that budget.
I say go for JBL GTO506Ce - Rs 5500/-
JBL GTO 636e - Rs 3950/-
JBL CS 50.4 amp - Rs 9500/-

If thats over budget, buy a sony amplifier. thats pretty good at that price.

navin · 25th August 2005, 23:43

see observer i told you sam is good. so good that we could even drop that second "O" in good.

observer · 26th August 2005, 12:36

Good gOd, music I listen is Dire Straits, Fleetwood Mac, Eleanor Mcevoy, Dave Alvin, Mary Black. To summarize, mostly Folk/Celtic, Classic Rock.

Which Sony amp are u suggesting?

Thanks

aseem · 26th August 2005, 12:45

Sony 504 Z for 3.9 k in gray market or 5k with bill and one year warranty. However it has very basic functionality. If you want the detailed specs let me know and I will post them. It doesnt have MOFSET out, has basic LPF HPF but not selectable frequency band, no thermometer or fan, no cut off at high temperature, so its the most basic 4 channel amp for the price band it comes for. If you have a freind in states etc, you can ask them to being a decent alpine amp for 200 dollars.
