payam,

I just realised that you have a 507 AND a 937 in the REAR! and only a pair of tweeters in the front!

1. Move the 507 to the front. A 607 will provide a bit more bass but what do you with your 507 then?
2. you dont need the tweeters at all but we'll find use for this later so dont junk them just live without them till you get the basic sound finalised
3. Get a JBL 75.4 and use this amp to drive your sub and front speakers (507). Use the 60.2 to drive the 937.

Once yovve done this we'll figure out what to do with the 17t.

I'm confused here Ankit.

The Boschmann amp is a 2 channel right? But you have powered 3 sets of speakers from it!!! How??

You can improve your sound quality and imaging by a good measure if you remove those front stock speakers and TS20s. Replace it with a good pair of Hertz DSK165 or JBL 607 or Soundstream components. Power it using the 2 channel amp. And power the rear speakers using the HU's rear output.

SZ - The Boschmann 2-channel is powering only the 2150's. The 2 woofers are being powered by the Audiobahn.

ankitahuja · 14th November 2006, 14:27

Hehe, Im sorry for the random posting of the picture, I made this when I was setting up my ICE. The Boschmann is powering the 2150's and the TS20's. The front speakers now are Pioneer TS-G1311R 13-cm (5") metallic silver IMPP composite cone speakers, which unfortunately are not powered by the amp. I realised how important it is to do that and its the first thing I need to change.
Guys how good are these Pio speakers? What's the price range of the Hertz, JBL or any other front components? I have a LOW budget!

My current setup is here http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/312951-post228.html

I didnt like the way the subwoofer sounded at first. I've been playing it for 7-8 hours now and its starting to sound better, I guess I'd have to play it for some more time to make it sound its best. I wouldnt recommend it because its a little expensive.

revtech · 15th November 2006, 21:09

rsjaurr · 15th November 2006, 23:04

yogesh,get DLS nobelium coax for rear.Your set-up seems to be quite expensive but you haven't mentioned total cost[and individual components cost].Why?

Also what wires u have used and did u also use good sound damping material?

@revtech ur set-up is quite decent.you just have to change ur amplifier when u plan to modify it.
