i've been with abhibh and listened (experienced) the Rainbows with Kenwood 8401 and should say they rain music. Except this i also ask when is abhibh going to add a Sub to make 'thundershowers'.

Neat placement of Amp. Can you please describe how the amp board was fixed?
Also how did u run the power cable from battery through firewall? A pic of that would help.
cheers:

Amp board is fixed with screws (2 inch ones i guess). 3 on each side. They are bolted directly to the back seat with drill machine.

Attaching a pic from where the power cable is going in from the battery.

Rainbows are good. I have been told that they will sound more better once they break in. Their break in period is around 25 - 30 hours.
Sub hehe, fell short of $$$ but might be adding a small 12" soon.

Yes compos are running bridged. These little babies are getting 180W RMS though they should be getting just 100

. Still they don't clip at 95% volume and the bass just blows ones mind. Its like having an 8" sub upfront.

Rest review is still pending.

The routing of power cable is done by clipto whereas those power windows cables are done by legendary Chandigarh installers. Plus you cannot even guide them as they will do it their own way or no way!

Thank you. Well once you will hear SAX midbass you will surprised. They are like having an 8" sub. Yesterday i was playing some hip hop tracks and my rear view mirror was shaking a little bit.

But since it is your car get them sorted out as if they touch the chassis there will be lots of fumes in your car.

ScarySkulls · 12th July 2008, 02:05

Raghvvinder is right, Abhi.
Official Autocop installers or not, that is nobody's business on how to be installing stuff. All your earlier wiring in the doors has been sorted out with proper soldering and cable ties, but this end of the wires remain. All they need is a small cut, maybe due to vibrations or anything. This is no fancy wiring or anything, so it WILL give away sometime.

I know you can twist arms of the guys, should anything go wrong. But why fall into the trouble at first place?
Get it sorted out whenever you next get free time.

What i meant was, Yes the components are running bridged getting 180X2 RMS though nominal power they need is only 80W RMS. But yes thinking of putting them back at 60W RMS in a a day or 2. I hope its clear now *rolls eyes*

P.S. The sub is almost installed.

nitrous · 15th August 2008, 12:06

180W RMS to components?
