I am planning to put my ICE in the coming week; after so much research and hearing opinions, have mostly decided to go with the same set of speakers you have . And a Kenwood KDC U7046BT head unit (the bluetooth feature is something new that I would like to have in my new car and Alpines' illumination colors didn't match the Beat interior lighting--blue).
I was thinking bout Morels but dealer said that he doesn't source those and JL Audio 4"'s are out of stock. So thought I'd go with Hertz Energy in the front and JL 6 x 9 at the back. But my dealer had fit the Rockfords in a Santro last week and was very impressed with the output. Will give them a listen on Monday and decide.
I'm guessing you'd have enough experience to tell me about the Rockfords. Could you please tell me how the speakers are, so far? and How the clarity and output from the 4" in front is?
Many thanks! |
Congrats on your BeatD dieselat!!!
Freebies you got are worth,don't be greedy
Kenwood KDC U7046BT is a looker ,it's good although i haven't tested or researched about it , in my case the first thing i finalized was HU should be Alpine so didn't checked out other brands
RF R142 is one of the best 4" i have heard , the clarity and output from the 4" in front is superb for me , vocals are perfect and i love hearing Shreya ghosal songs repeatedly with front 4" alone
Sound quality & clarity are so great that my friends have realized there are minute sounds in the song's music even though they have heard the same song 100 times
Ideal setting suggested to me was RF front 4" and a sub as the perfect fit,there was an ikon done with similar setting at my installer's shop and owner was satisfied
After the installing rear 6x9 ovals, set fader with more focus on rear for bass but i was disappointed at the output as front 4" was not heard ,then found ideal setting with fader at Rear-3 so that sound and vocals are from front 4" and just tight bass from rear
Normal volume i hear is 16-17 and even at high volumes 22-25 there is no distortion,but with rear passengers you can't go high volumes as there are vibrations on rear seat
I would suggest you should take a look at Auditor too,its also good and my friend had put rear ovals from Auditor on U-VA and he is happy
initially i was also planning to go for hertz 4" but it was not available readily And read somewhere in t-bhp that and we have to make adjustments for hertz 4" to fit perfectly in the slot with OE covers above it
Morel is one of the brands that i recently came to know and going through forums it seems like Morel has become favorite for ICE enthusiasts . Need to check out Morel on jk's Truck to see how good it is
