2. what is your existing setup (HEADUNITS, SPEAKERS, AMPS, DSP,SW etc.)
Head Unit -- Clarion HX-D2 also known as DRZ-9255 (Rs. 65000)... Flagship audiophile CD player... no mp3, no dolphins, no colours, no motorised faceplate... just sweet sweet sound...
Front Stage -- Hertz Hi-Energy HSK165 (Rs. 13800) running active, xo at 80Hz and 3.15KHz... but keeps changing... next upgrade coming soon...
Rear Fill -- Image Dynamics CTX6 (Rs. 7220) coaxials... xo at 80Hz
Sub -- Image Dynamics iDQ12 D2 (Rs. 12550) in a sealed .85cuft enclosure.
Amp 1 -- Tru Technology T4.65 amp (Rs. 36945 approx) powers the front tweeters off 2 channels and the midbasses off the other two.
Amp 2 -- Tru Technology T4.65 amp (Rs. 36945 approx) powers the rear fills with two channels and the other 2 channels are bridged to power the sub with about 200 Tru watts
Power Cables -- upgrading to Connection Audison 2g soon... (Rs. 8000-10000 approx)... No stiffening caps
Interconnects -- Connection Audison Sonus ST2600 x 4 (Rs. 5840 x 4 = 23360)... used to have Monster Micro XLN cables earlier, just put these in... BIG change in sound... treble much much smoother and bass has a lot more definition, soundstage is more centered.
Speaker Cables -- Kimber Kable 4PR (Rs. 6000 approx)... will be upgraded to Connection Audison Sonus speaker cables soon.
3. How much did it cost ?
hmm... would cost around 2.1 Lakh...
4.How serious were your about your system?
My first install was when I was 14... installed a pair of speakers on my bicycle, would connect to my walkman. My moms car was next and the rest as they say is history...
5. which kind of music do you listen to ??
umm... from the top of my head... Everything from Patricia Barber, Diana Krall, Norah Jones to Guns n Roses, Dire Straits, Eric Clapton, Bob Marley, Alan Parsons Project to Dr Dre (hey Sam... W), Ludacris, Missy Elliot, The Game to Chemical Brothers, The Prodigy, Timo Mass, to Craig Armstrong, Dusted, Massive Attack to Bollywood, Indipop and so much more... Actually as long as its good creative music (and not some lame attempt on someones laptop) and recorded well... I'll listen to anything.
6. would you recommend it to others???
Hell yeah...
7. Place where the setup was done
Install done mostly at Jb's home and Driven's shop, tweaks and experiments done on daily basis at many a roadside.
