ak

Infinity ref 6913i - Rs 6990/-
Kappa 693.7i - 9,990/-

These are MSRPs. You might get a small discount if you hunt around.

Hi Dude,

I know. It was short though, sorry i was so madly busy.
Yes you can fit a 6" in a Honda City. Ideally, a spacer ring will do the trick.

Power wires: 4 SWG will allow 2 amplifiers like the 75.4 and 3001. to be used.

Speaker wire: best VFM is Belden
All of the above is my opinion only.

The CS1200T uses an older GT3-12 subwoofer. The GTO1200B uses the GT4-12 subwoofer. Both SVC.

Belden is indeed good VFM. Also great VFM are Supra (sweden) and PErcon (spain)

new cs series from jbls are cheaper.

Not true at all. I have only said that i dont recommend the CS50.4 to drive a sub. The GTO75.4 drives subwoofers with ease and far superior to some monoblocks too! It's just a little pricey thats all. But stands as an AMAzing amp.

Absolutely correct. MSRP of 606ce is Rs 6000/-. The 1000 extra is delhi style. Speak to Kapil/sachin, tell them you are my friend. Prices will change.

I stand corrected. Sorry for the assumption.

Shrey · 16th November 2005, 10:31

But Sam,
this is too much, Kapil told me MRP is Rs.7400/= and he'll give me 606 compo. for Rs 7000/=, in fact i also told him that Sam gave a referennce of your shop!! and NOw you are telling me its actually for 6000 bucks only!!
I doubt i'll have to check out the prices of other things as well!! . SAM can u buzz sachin/kapil for me(remember!! you liked me once

) or simply telling a lie that i'm a very good ol' friend of yours will do?

can you give me the best buy prices i.e of JBL 2-way coaxials and that of 1200T tube?

Sam, he liked you once. Why did you break his heart?

Shrey, please don't mind this joke. We like pulling Sam's leg.

navin · 16th November 2005, 13:51

These are the correct prices
1. GTO606cs components - Rs 6000/-
2. JBLs 2 way Coaxial - 6"?? GTO636 - 3950, CS 265 - Rs 2950
3. JBL50.4 - Rs 9500/-

Above prices are with VAT, bill and one yr warranty. By right, these products should have an MRP sticker on them, bearing the above information. Do not hesitate to tell them you know me well.

I just checked www.fxaudio.com and under car audio i can see both JBL and Infinity. Try hard refresh (alt+F5)

Shrey · 16th November 2005, 17:05

I think either Kapil misquoted the price of 606Ce or?? Ok here look at the prices he quoted for GTO636 (3-way)= Rs.3500(with b&W) and that of 6" 2-way Coaxial(he has not written the model no.) Rs.2500(with b&w)

and yeah!! i really refreshed it hard (LOL) and it seems to be working fine now.
