Front Left Side Door

The components were fitted to the Door Trim instead of the Door Inner Panel due to various reasons
1. Since the components mounting depth was more
2. The Door Pad is made of Hardboard and PU Foam and not of Plastic like other cars
For others makes we can mount in the OE location itself
The tweeters were mounted as near to the comps to get a better sound stage
The Components - Close up

The Roof Mounted LCD Monitor was mounted using the OE location for the Room Lamps to avoid damages to the Head Lining and to avoid disturbance to the driver

The Audio Files can be browsed using the monitor by the Rear Passengers

Hey thats a really good install. Very clean and neatly done.

I love your Sub now. Is that the total size ? Waiting for a audition

prithvi_seln · 7th October 2010, 11:40

Yes the sub comes with the company enclosure and that's the size as seen in the photos, check on the net for the compact series .... sure u can drop in any time for an audition

whizzkid_ram · 7th October 2010, 15:10

Cool Setup. A review of the MTX compos is appreciated.

MutantX · 7th October 2010, 15:18

That sub seems familiar! Where did I see it earlier?

Will be nice to check out how it sounds/feels when the sub faces towards front.

whizzkid_ram · 7th October 2010, 19:10

The enclosure looks really uber cool.

scorpio_fan · 7th October 2010, 22:48

Hi Prithvi,
Very neat install, really liked it. One question, since you changed / rewired the front speakers as well, is your voice assist still working? I understand that your steering controlls could not be connected, but do you know any add-on that can be added to this HU to make this working?

Congrats for your install,
Scorpio Fan

prithvi_seln · 8th October 2010, 08:15

VAS works but the sound is feable folks let's meet up this weekend for an audition

Ranga · 8th October 2010, 12:15

This setup looks nice .

Looks like there will be a lot of sound with so much of speakers in front , rear with the Sub woofer .. Should be rocking left , right & center

rjstyles69 · 8th October 2010, 13:17

prithvi I see that you haven't installed compos on the center doors. Dont you feel a void in the music when seated in the center row ?

How did this help ? Coz from what I hear in my setup they sound brilliant in the stock locations itself. However that said, the install has been done neat.

raj_5004 · 8th October 2010, 13:22

awesome setup buddy. it would have been nice if you had mentioned atleast the approx pricing of the components.

by the way, i like the first pic of the interiors which you have posted, looks different.

Raj, he has PMed me the costs, tell me if you want them, I ll PM it to you.

prithvi_seln · 11th October 2010, 08:45

whizkid_ram - Please check out Page 1 for the Review related to MTX in brief, if you sometime drop in to chennai you can have a audition if possible.
scorpio_fan - One BHPinan had PMed me from delhi related to steering control interface, his handle is hihaneet
Ranga & raj_5004: Thanks for your comments and it is rocking left,right, & rear
rjstyles69: The setup in mine is little bit different, the ovals are mounted in a enclosed box when compared to your where it in the stock location... the rattle in the tailgate door is less and the midbass is more from the ovals.

Mi10 · 11th October 2010, 09:24

Got a chance to audition this beast.

I am in love with those Midbasses. Super duper Punch, better than an 8" ID CTX and Polk db.

Very neat and professional. Congrats Prithvi, hope you are enjoying every moment of music.
