XM-ZR604 : Xplod™ Amplifier : In-Car Entertainment : Sony India

I know not everyone loves sony but still, for the price, isn't that good enough ?

I am desperatley looking for kenwood 8401 but its not available around. And in sub 5K range, no other amplifier is available.

Please suggest if I should consider this or not.

You can look for JBL and Blau amps...

O that was an indirect no :P

What about jbl gt5 604 for 6.2K grey ?

They are good to power spekers till 70W RMS VFM amp.

JBL or Sony ?

I am finding nothing in the range of 5K except blau GT4, which I don't want.

Whats wrong with the GT4 ? Is it worse than the sony ?

jbl: GT5-604 NO!
blaupunkt: Yes!

^^^
I am trying my best to get Kenwood KAC 8401. Not getting it around :(
Raven is charging too much for it. I do not want to spend more than 5K so even open for a Second hand but still not being able to find any :(

greenhorn · 12th January 2009, 22:16

frankmehta · 12th January 2009, 22:20

i spoke to him on gtalk. hope i can get it for him. poor fellow is sooo confused. from wiring to installation, he takes like 10 days to make a decision :-p

12th January 2009, 22:20

frankmehta · 12th January 2009, 22:34
