advice on upgrading my sony system for my zen??

Autophile · 1st October 2005, 12:33

Still I will go for Alpines above all these anyday...apart from Alpine...I prefer Audison SRx 5 and LRx 5.600. Amazing amplifiers with small footprint (easy to install) and good power. One of the best sounding amplifiers.

Though expensive but worth every rupee. Far superior than far-east manufactured american crap.

.. due to unforeseen circumstances it seems that revtech cant bring the amplifiers he was supposed to from singapore..now that puts me into a bigger fix guys..as navin and JB say a 5/6 channel amp makes more sence can u guys give me some model numbers of the same available right here in india and those that i can source easily..well i can extend the budget to upto 18k if it saves me the costs on the wiring..so navin and JB please help me out with the names of a few amps within that range..maybe il have to put up with without B&W then..thanks..

i think the JL audio thing is this JL Audio: e6450, 6-channel Amplifier..not sure though..i vaguely remember him telling it was around 25k-28k..this guys shop is called prodrive near shivajinagar..will check on them and let u know..

In india the 5/6 channel amps are very expensive compared to their 4/2 channel counterparts. 5/6 channel amps are more the rage in the EU. the yanks prefer big 4/2 channel amps as well but then the yanks make Tim "More Power" Taylor (Allen) a cult figure!

JB, is gonna jump all over me on this one because his amps are made in CA. LOL. JB, but America i dont mean CA, NH, MA and the gentile part i mean the F150 pickup parts of middle america.

EU cars are smaller the American so they need to conserve space.

Hey, I like that show... Tim Allen was real funny (alongwith whatshisname) modding and blowing up everything. Well you are right... Those rednecks and their pickups...

While Audison design is all about maximising quality output in minimal space (their amps are really small sized). Tru Tech does NOT make any 5/6 channel amps right now and even their 2/4ch their amps are BIG.

Thats why we have two series of ranges... [ID + Tru] and [Hertz + Audison] (although we have seen dealers mixing it up as well, with great results). As you well know, different people have different ears and tastes... End of the day, we have something for everyone.

When the old man says prepared, he means with an AXE.
