that budget is without considering the HU price.

That is a NICE audio store.

Sam, Navin, your views on my post no 1853 please.

Sam, Navin, I think one of you had recommended some box volume sometime back for the 936e? Do you guys remember what it was because as Sam said if boxes will be better then boxes it is. Who cares about luggage space. I need good sound.

c that link. i used mdf for santro. Rs.800. u can get it 4 cheaper rate at coimbatore etc

JK, your Santro looks cool man. Congratulations. Now, I have partly JBLifyed my Alto. The rest needs to be done. By the way, which amp is that?

I wonder how much the tray costs in Bangalore. I am still unable to decide whether to go for the tray or boxes.

I would certainly not recommend GTO 636 for the back. Have it in my Swift, dont like it at all. Would recommend JBL components 606 for sure, and for the rear I would say go for GTO 936.

Sam Kapasi · 29th September 2005, 14:34

I saw. What is this JBLifyied?

It sounds like belly-fied. First Navin says JBLFried, now Vivel talks like this. Looks like people using JBL will need a low fat diet. lol
Did you see the october autocar or not JKdas?

navin · 30th September 2005, 14:36

Vivek, the 936 would probably be a free air speaker. that being the case it would like as big a box as possible. so you could start with a 15-20 liter box.

Autophile · 30th September 2005, 16:07

Navin...what about the space conservation...you were talking about the other day....the speaker will boom and do nothing else in that box. The midrange will go for a six...all you will hear is bass and highs...

navin · 30th September 2005, 19:10

sure i have a space problem but i dont think vivek has that issue. different strokes for different folks.

you think the 6x9 will boom in a box and wreck the mids and highs? I had done this in my honda CVCC in 1984 wite good results. Obviously the 6x9 i used were different :-)

Vivekphadnis · 30th September 2005, 22:54

A 15 to 20 L box? That is quite big. With two 20L boxes, there will hardly be any space for a sub, which I plan to add later on. And good point Navin raised about the boom if I use a box.
I had never been interested in parcel trays. My friend has a Santro with a Pio HU and speakers. He has mounted the 6x9s on a tray and the bass sounded pretty good.

JK, I am in Bangalore. And how much did you pay for the amp? How does it sound?

Arrey Sam, JBLify is future tense. JBLifyed is past tense. Simple.
