hi GUYS
I finally got the setup under my budget of Rs. 10,000.
It may not be JBL's Eyeballer but yes It does ROCK !!
The Head Unit I got is Pioneer 3750 against 4750/5750 (which I earlier decided upon).
I ruled out 5750 because -
1. I cannot look at the display all the time while driving so those flashes are not for me.
2. For optimum output the equalizer settings provided has to be changed/set differently for each and every song - that's really not possible for me to stop the car after every song and change the equalizer settings.
I ruled out 4750 because -
1. The only difference between 3750 and 4750 was of front loading and flipback loading + 4750 had the same equalizer settings as in 5750 (Refer Above)
This is the Head Unit I got
These are the specs as quoted by the website :
MP3/WMA/WAV
Detachable Front Panel with Carry Case
High Power MOSFET 50w x 4
Rotary Volume Control
RCA Pre-Out, Card Remote
I checked this unit in car (Daewoo Matiz) with Blaupunkt GTx693 - Pioneer 6991 - BOSS Riot R694
I checked all the speakers with a different left and a different right, Set the Volume to an Optimum level and then use the Balance control to check the audio quality between left and right speakers.
Blaupunkt sounded OK - very small and weak magnet for Rs 3200 - RULED OUT
Now the fight was between Pioneer 6991 and BOSS R694
Pioneer was a bit more bassy than BOSS but that bass effect was also on the vocals, thus making the voice of the singer more bassy and deeper, whereas, BOSS offered almost same amount of bass with awesome clarity.
Pioneer 6991 - Rs 3500 without B&W
BOSS R694 - Rs 4000 with B&W
After listening to a lot of songs inclucing the VENGABOYS Party Album's BOOM BOOM BOOM - We like to Party to Punjabi Dhol and Soft Sad Songs, I BOUGHT BOSS R694 for Rs 4000 with one year warranty.
This is what BOSS R694 looks like -
The specs for BOSS R694 are -
Impedance: 4 Ohm
Frequency Response: 50Hz-20kHz
SPL 1 Watt/1 Meter: 92 dB
Cone Material: Poly Coated Paper
Voice Coil: 1" Aluminum
Tweeter: 2x 1" Mylar Dome
Midrange: 3" Polycone
Power Handling: 500 (Peak)
Magnet Structure: 80 Oz
The front speakers were factory fitted when we got the car but I still liked BOSS fronts for Rs 1450, but I didn't buy them due to a limited budget, I think the factory installed are of JVC - will check them and let you all know.
The whole Setup Costed Me -
Pioneer 3750 with Remote (Without B&W) - Rs 5000
BOSS Riot R694 (With B&W) - Rs 4000
Antenna - Rs 100
That's It.
The sound is very Bassy, the Radio reception is AWESOME and the white display of head Unit is also good with elegant fonts.
I AM SATISFIED WITH THE MONEY I SPENT.
There is one feature FIE (Front Image Enhancer) in the Unit using which you can shift the soundstage in the front and form an imaging.
The manual says that using this feature will disable all the MIDS & HIGHS from Rears and will shift them prominently to the Fronts - YES IT DOES THE SAME THING and WILL sound good with components or a bit better fronts than the one's I have.
I will post the pics soon (cheap quality) as I can only click them with my SE T610.
Thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much GUYS for your support and help, I am much knowledgable and confident abt the money I spent. Thank you.
And I am not going away, I will be upgrading this later on.
Anyone you wishes to check the system in Chandigarh, I will be glad to show you the same. Please PM me or email at
sukhamrit_singh@dell.com for the same.
Thank you once again
