4.How serious were your about your system?

Pretty serious, followed the ICE thread for about a few months but followed the sound quality, personal preferences (and the limited budget) when push came to shove.

Mostly soft rock, folk and country. Some fusion music as well.

6. would you recommend it to others???

Definitely recommend the JBL rear coaxs and the HU. Would also recommend yoga mats as an effective damping material

I have been strolling through the posts of the ICE setup of different members and there are quite a few mind-boggling ones here.
I have to add that each time I see one of these I want to spend my hard earned rupias on it but I am still to take the plunge for various reasons, the main one being the availability of the above mentioned rupias (what with the inflation and all that)

So I thought I should take a poll and find out how much my friends here have spent on their respective ICE so we could have statistics regarding it. I hope everyone will be enthusiastic about it. I have added ranges, you can always mention your amount in a post.

Additionally, please feel free to put a break-up of the cost so this thread can be a one-stop search for prices of the different components of the ICE.

Mods: I did search and didn't find any threads. Kindly don't ban me if I break any rules, it's just ignorance.

Mine cost me 12000 Rs.

Two jbl 4" in the front, two jbl oval co-ax in the rear (not worth mentioning the model) and a jvc HU.

Simple setup!

[W.A.G.7]

Mine cost ~16K. Kenwood KDC-u346, jbl gts256c component speakers in the front, and kenwood co-axials at the rear.

[noopster]

Mine cost about 13-14K. Kenwood HU (think it's the u346, not sure) for 5K odd, Rockford Fosgate coaxials (door speakers in front and ovals on MDF tray at back) for about 8.4K

This is in the Swift. Vento I have not tampered with stock yet.

[anonymous]

Mine costed me around 30K but I didn't install it one go, did it parts.

First installed HU+Old set of Sony speakers (Cost of HU - 9K)
Added set of Hertz components speakers in front - 6K
Removed the rear speakers - 0 Rs
Added Kenwood Amp - 5K
Added JBL Subwoofer - 7K (Including closure)
Wiring - 2500 Rs.

I recently upgraded from the Stock unit on my Vento TDi Highline.

HU - Pioneer 2390
4 Infinity Components with Tweeters (not sure of the model number)
Sony 4ch Amplifier (again not sure of the model number)
Reverse Camera
Scorsche Frame for VW Vento

It Cost me around 35k for everything. I dont know the definition of an audiophile but to me it sounds quite good. i guess thats what matters

[MutantX]

Ive planned to ICE my all new SWIFT. Below are the estimates (+/- 1k).

HU: Kenwood x994 - 205$ (got as a gift from BIL)
Components - Model Maximo (5.5K)
Damping: 4k
Install: 1.5K

Total - 11k

[dot]

Mine costed about 37k.
Morel Maximo components and coax, MTX ReQ 5, Rockford Fosgate Prime 5 channel amp and RF 10' Prime sub-woofer with Scosche cables and installation. Also included is dampening of the front doors with Dynamat Extreme.

While it did burn a hole, the pleasure more than doused the fire.

When i bought my first own funded car (Indica Lxi Petrol) i spent about 27K on Audio system. At that time (way back in 2001) i had put 8CD changer, Pioneer HU and Large Oval speakers at the rear (On a wooden parcel tray) and small speakers up front.

Six months back when i changed to a Sony with JBL Speakers it costed me close to 10K only (Lesser than that).

Innova 2009

* HU: Pioneer AVH-P2300DVD Double DIN ($210, amazon)
* Kenwood: 8405 4ch amp ($135, amazon)
* Scoshe wires (2.4K)
* Speakers: Hertz DSK 165 Components front and back
* Damping

All of this was done by Toqueer at Car Fancy / Auto Fusion.

The speakers were installed last year with the damping. That cost me around 11K

The amp and new head-unit were installed yesterday. Very happy with them, but now thinking about a subwoofer :-)

[ganjaman]

In my Getz.

This was all installed in November 2009, but posting it here now.

- Pioneer 4190 HU - 8.5K
- Focal Solid4 amplifier - 16K
- Morel Tempo6 front components - 9K
- Kicker 8" sub - 3.5K
- Scosch wires

The total came to about 40K.

Very happy with the sound, clear and warm. The subwoofer is a little diffused, but given that i picked up the cheapest one available back then, i can't complain.

Here is the original post for that http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/ask-gu...-speakers.html

Hello senior audiophiles !! The family finally booked a Wagon-R duo in chennai. The guys at the dealership were giving an offer to fit an ICE worth 10K for free. They were offering kenwood, jvc and sony. The type of music we listen to varies from classical indian n english, classic rock, hip-hop, jazz and instrumental.

Is it possible to get a good ICE in the price they promise ? I would prefer setting up an ICE from the outside market. SO with a budget of 15-17K can you advise me on a decent setup with 4 speakers, a sub and an amp if needed ?

Thanks in advance.
