A tribute to my Alto's ICE, Team BHP and B&T

Ragin_Ice · 31st January 2010, 04:33

Guys, this post is one and half years too late. But, since that I am selling my Alto, as I am moving abroad, it would be very disrespectful and unfair not to thank the people involved and share my experience.

I was a noob when it came to audio but had a huge desire and appetite to learn. So I started reading this brilliant site called - Basic Car Audio Electronics (Basic Car Audio Electronics). Cleared a lot of my doubts but then the final Q came as to what to install. Luckily for me, I had a friend in Amit, dont remember his handle at Team-bhp, but he's the guy with the Accent and some awesome SPL woofers.

He introduced me to team-bhp and here began my quest for audio nirvana. After reading countless posts, I inferred that the best person to get in touch in the real world was Ajay Kamath aka B&T. A year before I got my system installed, I used to work with CNBC TV-18. I thought that it would be a brilliant opportunity to film the installation for their Tech Show. So after numerous phone calls with Ajay and the Tech Shows director we fixed a date. You can check the video here.

My budget wasn't too high and I was very much interested in SQ. This is what Ajay recommended and was installed in the car. The prices are one and a half year old.

Pioneer 5500 -- HU ---Rs. 7000
Illusion Audio EL 6.1 ---Rs. 7000
Ground Zero GZTA 4.120MK2, 4 channel Amp --- Rs. 11,000
Ground Zero GZTW 12MK2 Sub -- 5500
Ground Zero GZPK 10 -- Amp wiring kit --Rs. 3000
Ichibahn ISTS20 -- RCA -- Rs. 900
Illusion Audio RSC16.50 Speaker Cables (2 packs)-- Rs. 1050 x 2 = Rs. 2100
12" custom-made Sub Enclosure: Rs. 1200
Door Rings: Rs. 400
Noise Kill 48 Sq. feet: Rs. 7200
Antenna: Rs. 300
------------------
Total Rs. 46,500
------------------

My experience: I have simply loved it !!..The SQ is amazing and driving the car from a chore in Mumbai traffic became a pleasure.

I sincerely thank team-bhp, Ajay Kamath and Amit for extending their support and sharing their knowledge and experience.

Ragin Ice,

Since its a tribute, i think this thread deserves its own pictures. How about some WIP pics too?
All the best with the sale.

Thats quite thoughtful.

Amit uses Digital Designs subs in his car, earlier he was running a pair of JBLs. His handle is amit_sound and he's a amid SPL lover.. I think he'd already removed the rear seat of his car and installed couple of more subs.

Gosh, that's really flattering! Thank you very much for the kind words, Ragin Ice, and I wish you the very best with your ambitions overseas!

@Ragin_Ice - wish you the best.
I noticed that you have not installed front power windows and have installed EL6.1 (basically 6" speakers). Did you have any trouble while winding up/down the front windows.

Ragin_Ice · 10th February 2010, 00:19

No. no problem at all.
