approx 15'' x 10 ''..not sure aseem..one was just about sufficient for a zen door,not so sure about swift..u might need around two for each door...

750/-rs per sheet is costlier than Dynamat 10115 Original Speaker Kit, 10-in. x 10-in. 2 Sheets for 15$ on crutchfield.So for 4 doors i will need only 2 pair for 30$.

And navin whats ur gut feeling for MTX Thunder over alpine MRP 240? Sorry to ask u again.

Dr. sahib, we are comparing cost in India.

Exactly!! Why are we looking at crutchfield for reference? Have you tried finding a Lancer, or an accent or any other car available on the net in US$ and it's price?

navin · 26th October 2005, 12:31

I use crutchfield only to get model numbers right? my memory is not relaible. it used to be. :-(

rsjaurr · 26th October 2005, 16:23

Hi navin & sam
Even i am using crutchfield for reference.i may not buy from this web site.

u know i am from small town where i may not get these type of stuff.so i am getting as much knowledge as i can.I talked to a local car 'shingar' guy and he said he will charge 100 for installing car audio system plus 100 for amplifier.So u can well imagine his skills.

I am spending >30 k of hard earned money on car audio so i have to be little carefull and choosey.
Hope u guys understand me.

And sam i am waiting for the launch for latest infinty spk.

Sam Kapasi · 26th October 2005, 16:31

100 bucks to install an amplifier? I'm speechless. In mumbai they charge you 100 bucks to carry your amplifier to the car.

navin · 26th October 2005, 16:59

maybe this shingar guy is like Sam in this for the love of it not the money. :-)

may be....Even i was stunned when he said this. was expecting around 1k.I think i know more than him thanjs to u guys and team-bhp.com.
Anyway i will still go to him but he will only put all the things in place and i will INSTALL & TUNE the system for myself with the ACTIVE help of u guys.

AND NAVIN DO U THINK ONE SHEET OF DYNAMAT WILL BE ENOUGH FOR A DOOR OR HAVING TWO ARE MUST.

jkdas · 27th October 2005, 21:29

depends of the sheet dimension. mclaren had 2 use 2 sheets 4 2 doors.

and mate, use good quality cables!. less cribs/joints....etc etc..navinji,sam,vivek,mclrn,aseemmmmmm

etc ( jb. gunbir...hello whr ru guys? ) would be actively helping u

navin · 28th October 2005, 09:42

I would expect 1 sheet per door. and JK stick to english not SMS lingo ok?

rsjaurr · 28th October 2005, 11:03

Yeah.........gunbir has mentioned in one of his thread Hyundai Getz - Install Help that getz door panels need little or no damping.
Main difference will be acc. to Gunbir's thread,in getz i have to remove whole of carbon finished center console and than install HU before putting it back.

That thread will be of great help to me.And u guys will always be there.

RSJ, I am glad that thread is helpful to you. I suggest you take a break and drive to Delhi. We can suggest some installers who will do a nice job for you. Alternatively, If you want to do it yourself, you can call me for any help or support required.

Thanx gunbir.....to be frank it will be difficult for me to travel to Delhi in near future.as i wrote earlier i will call that 'cheap'

guy to put the things just in right place and rest i will do with lot of help from u guys.
but i think i will have to wait till dec-jan as no one will be coming to India by then but i am ready for that.
