well finally got myself a Headunit, for free :P

also got a pair of kenwood 6 1/2" Coax which ive fixed in the front doors of my zen

now am looking to buy a pair of decent 5 1/2" or 61/2" coax, preferbly to compliment the kenwood, ill move the 6 1/2" to the rear and connect a 5 1/2" in the front door if it works out to be cheaper else will buy a 6 1/2" and fit it in the rear

also looking for a sub, 8" or 10" or 12", smaller the better but if small doesnt mean i save money, then 12" is ok, again i dont need anything fancy or loud, just decent enough to feel the lows, will be powered by an ancient sony 222 amp so dont suggest anything hifi :P

ill probably get myself a 4 channel amp and components for the front later on, maybe a zillion years from now but at the moment this is what am looking for

price = 4k for the lot :P cheaper the better but seriously, i dont want that boom boom bass, id rather not have a sub than get that

anyone see a good deal, know anyone selling anything from the above or u urself are selling anything, please lemme know
 
come on, anyone churn out the model numbers to look for, i dont wanna goto a shop and say i wanna subwoofer and end up with a sony or a fake pioneer

Why not a 6" x 9" fixed in a plant in the rear? (will give decent bass, though not big thump)

coz of the upgrades, will mostly getting front components in the future so id like to keep my options open, rear coax + sub i think should be better than 6x9s
 
actually am in a fix right now, do component speakers deliver any bass at all? and can they be driven by the HU or they require an amp?

am thinking of picking up a GTc 542 or THc 542, depending on the pricing and mount it in the door, move the 6" to the rear and get a sub when i can and power it with my sony 222 amp :P

else power the comps with the sony amp if HU cant handle it, and get a 4 channel amp plus sub as and when i get the cash?

the price list for the above says 2450 and 4250 respectively, these are MRP though, any idea about dealer pricing and/or grey pricing? if that THc works out to 3-3.5k then ill pick it up tomorrow, provided its usable for me and if the amp is not used then only a 3k expenditure wud fetch me a complete system so maybe ill get a sub as well, if not, then drive the comps using the amp and delay the sub and 4 channel for later :P
 
Theres no grey market pricing for blau afaik and 4250 is the mrp for thc 542 and what most of the places will charge for it. I have it and its really good for the price.The bass is miles ahead of the gtc 542

They should run fine off the HU but will sound much better amped
 
if you want bass, stick with 6" comps up front. the way you actually install it makes a lot of difference. Installed 6" comps in bioshai's swift. the bass is good , better than my 5" comps. the only problem is , the bass starts coming only after the volumes cross the halfway mark. below that , anything without a sub will sound weak. most entry level comps can be driven by any HU easily

I really dont think you can put in 5"ers on the dash of any car.
 
oops, i meant door there :ashamed:

well after advice from baatli, i think ill go with the JBL 607 for sale at tBHP or Blau THc 542 depending on the price i get offered and get some good quality 6x9s in the rear and add a sub if i feel the need for it

now can anyone please tlel me the current market price of the THc 542? i know the MRP is 4250 but shudnt the store price be cheaper?
 
the cheapest subs you can get hold of ( and worth buying) are the JBL ones -
GT5-s12, CS 1205 and its tube version, and the grey market pio/kenwood stuff You really dont need to know the model numbers. ask for the cheapest model they have ( anything except sony xplod or philips )
