Introducing... Dr. SQ

Hi Guys

Im new to this forum so first of all... Its a pleasure seeing an Indian forum and honestly, I am more than pleased to be here. I have been into Car Audio for quite a few years now and I hope I will be able to contribute to this community.

Here is my current system. A few of you may be able to appreciate this system:

Car: Hyundai Getz GLS
Head Unit: Clarion HX-D2
Front Stage: Image Dynamics Chameleons 6.5" (Active XO, bi-amped)
Powered by: Tru Technology T4.65 amp
Sub: Image Dynamics IDQ12 sub
Powered by: Tru Technology T2.100 amp
Speaker Cables: Kimber Kable 4PR
Power Cables and Distribution: Connection Audison

As you may be able to tell, I have a tilt towards Sound Quality. We (Me and my partner in crime) have done quite a few installs ranging from 'high-end' to 'seriously high-end'. I can be quite a resource for information so feel free to ask.

Cheers

Dear Gunbir,

Hi and welcome. Glad to have one more expert.

One questyion immeditely to you, . This has been bothering me quite a mlot.

I have also a Getz GLS

Question is What should be the fron install to get nice warm and not so punchy sound.

Problem is

1. No AMPS and SUBS , IMHO GETZ a too small car to loose the space on AMP and SUB.

2. HU is 7750 Pioneer ( got down through a friend)

3. Budget is 10000 for Speakers and installs.

What I would prefer is no lines visible at all in the car

Welcome aboard Gunbir. We have one more professional audiophile in our gang now.

I think that the mega audio thread might be of particular interest to you

Hello Gunbir, nice to have you here. Just a word for the rest of the guys, i have personally experienced the sound in his car and it is justified to say its one of the most amazing setups ive come across, very crisp and very powerful... thats the way it should be! Enjoy your stay around.

Welcome Gunbir!

NOW A MAN AFTER MY OWN HEART!

That system should sound good. PICS pleaaaaaase. esp how did you install the IDs.

You are the second person I know using Kimber in a car I use 4TC and i know one who uses Tara and another who uses Nodost.

No news about your interconnects (HU to amp)?

I think Sam should hear about you!

navin · 10th September 2005, 11:13

gunbir....I know this is not a SQ question but please bear with an old man...

I want to add a Alpine CHS 634S changer and aslo my ipod to my Alpine 9833 and 9830.

For this I need the following:
Alpine KCA 410C and Alpine KCA 420i. I cant find these in Mumbai. Can you help.

navin · 10th September 2005, 11:17

BTW I am waiting for Sam to get on to this thead an introduce you to the Becker HUs.

Sam where are you?

for a long while I was all alone here and then came Sam and now you! Hope you stay active. I would really like your inputs on all the questions that come up here.

Vivekphadnis · 10th September 2005, 11:54

Gunbir, welcome and let us have some pics if it is possible.

sridhar24 · 10th September 2005, 12:00

Hey Navin,

Make that the third person you know I have Kimber Kable in all my cars. I had silver streak in my esteem and PBJin my merc. Speaker wires were 4TC all around. I've had these installed way back in 1997.

I was checking out the Becker HUs on the net. Pricey I must say but we know what the pros are.

gunbir · 10th September 2005, 12:59

Gee... thanks guys.

Thats a nice welcome and again, I am really glad to see this community and pledge my support to the cause of better sound, better installs and eventually better music too..

Viper, I am really surprised to see other people using Kimber in their car. They are nice cables man...

Navin, My interconnects are currently Monster Cable MicroXLN, but will be changed to Connection Audison Sonus by this weekend. The Sonus is a very nice cable. Expensive though... and hey, the pics will be posted soon...

Arush... Thanks man. You are an inspiration cuz you're out there, doing it and loving it... Isnt that what its all about.

GTO, Rtech, Vivekphadnis, Sridhar and others... Thanks for your kind words. I've been on many international forums but it feels different (nicer) here.
