Following are the prices quoted by the shop:
PIONEER HU 2190: 6700 (With bill)
PIONEER HU 2150 (same model as above only no. change): 5300 (Without bill) |
The prices still seem to be on the high side. for this cost , you can get hold of the older 3050 /4050 which has 2/3 pre outs. Quote:
JBL 637 Oval series: 3250 which includes JBL 4" coaxials free (without bill)
JBL 938 (DECADE): 3250 (without bill)
JBL 4": 900 (without bill)
JBL 5.25" cOMPONENTS: 3650 (without bill)
JBL 5.25" Coaxial GT5 S205 (DECADE): 2450 (without bill)
|
prices for the speakers look fine. Quote:
JBL 5.25" Coaxial GT5 1205B (Non Decade) : 1450 (without bill).
|
I am not aware of such a model. the model name looks like that of a subwoofer Quote:
A) First please tell me is it ok if i go for the Pio Headset 2150 (Grey)? Are the Grey market Pio's duplicates or locally assembled using Pioneer Parts? If the sound quality of both are same then I am ready to take the risk.
|
grey market pioneers are original. buy them with confidence Quote:
B) As I am not planning to install a amp or a sub in future, should i really go for JBL 938 Series (Decade) as compared to JBL 637 (Non Decade). One of the acessory guy told me that it would be of no use to put a decade speaker if I would not go for Amp. I mean I dont want to spend money purchasing High end speakers,if i would not be able to use the entire capacity of the speakers.
|
I'm not sure what this guy means by decade. the 938 works fine without an amp Quote:
C) Now I have two options:
Please suggest which one would be better for me in the driver position,(Sound quality for rear seat passengers is not a priority):
I have put the following options as per my budget:
|
To be honest , I dont like any of the configs you have come up with. I've taken the liberty of suggesting some improvements Quote:
1) PIO HU (grey) + JBL Ovals in tray (637 series) with free 4 inch speakers in dash.(Lowest cost)
|
I have serious doubts if the free 4" ers will be JBL ones. all probably some cheaper stuff. If they are genuine JBL, Buy this if you want bass. bass will be JUST about enough. 6x9's would be a better option Quote:
2) Pio HU (grey) + JBL components 5.25" in front door + JBL 5.25" (Non Decade) (Highest cost)
|
Buy this if clarity is more important Quote:
3) Pio HU (grey) + JBL Coaxials 5.25" (Decade) in front door and 5.25" Coaxials in rear door (Non Decade) (Medium Cost)
|
Avoid . this setup wont have either bass or clarity Quote:
Other than above options are crossing my budget. Can you rank them as per the sound effect they would create.
Thankyou Greenhorn and others for guiding me till now.
@ Greenhorn I understand Greenhorn by your emphasis that having speakers in the door will never create the same effect if one has it in the tray or dash.
|
tell me your budget and how much the tray and other parts will cost. Maybe i can come up with an alternate config
PS: Ask him if he has any blaupunkt stuff. THey are usually cheaper
