ICE Setup For Lancer.

Ripper · 1st January 2010, 15:30

Hi All,
Just got my hands on a pre-owned Lancer, The problem is the car came with a Kenwood cassette Player with kenwood speakers, The rear fills sound good but not to to my expectations. I need help from the Audio Gurus out here on finalizing on a setup.

My requirements,
HU (With USB/AUX, 3 preouts)
Rear Speakers (6X9's )
Components (Front Doors)
Amp (should support the woofer and all speakers)
Woofer (12 inch)
and if possible tweeters

I have a budget of 25K Max

. This cost should include complete setup with installation. Please mention the model numbers as it would be easier for me to explain my installer.

Thanks in Advance.!

I suggest you search the ICE Forum and am sure you will get answers

For 25k, you can consider the following configuration

HU ~ 5.5k (Kenwood 5539 is a good value-for-money unit)
4-Channel Amp ~ 5.5k (Blaupunkt MKII, JBL S644, Kenwood M845)
Front Components ~ 5.5k (Bull Audio, Illusion Electra, JBL)
Subwoofer ~ 2.5k (Blaupunkt Gtw 12)
Subwoofer Box ~ 1k
Amp Wiring kit + RCAs + Speaker wire ~ 2.5k
Damping ~ 1.5k
Installation ~ 1k

I'd suggest you retain the rear-fills from the previous setup. Otherwise go for Blaupunkt/JBL/Infinity 6*9 co-axials.
Try to audition a few setups in Mumbai and choose the equipment accordingly.

Could anyone here suggest some other head units?

@ripper your budget seems tight considering the kind of equipment u want to include.

Skip damping and a sub initially. Instead concentrate on a good set of compos and a decently powerful amp.

Unless u want to rock thy neighbours, sub can be compromised initially. A good comps midbass like electra EL6.1 or the jbl gt5 can punch some serious bass.

Search the forum for my , razor4077's and other lancer ice setups for what to expect at what price points.

Happy iceing.

@leadfoot: Yes the budget is a bit too less when taking into consideration the equip. i need. Ill get the damping done later, all i want as of now is a decent setup especially a good head unit. Will check your setup and decide accordingly. Thanks!
