They are retailing it at 14.5k and dealers may give a further discount. These very underrated amps, and at this price I think its a great deal. as long as you get one brand new and with B&W.

Are you sure about this Gunbir? I will get one if they have any left tomorrow!

hei,for which car is this? Those are 4 inch co-ax and 5inch co-ax right?

delu · 6th July 2006, 10:10

jk u r right those r co-ax and for santro.... the reason for the 4" and 5.25" is I wanted to use the stock locations without any cutting involved..... but anyways did i commit a blunder?

BTW, is your signature incomplete "Drive carefully, 90% of people are accidents" ???

Then its should be fine. You boght just one amp? And if so, you would be powering the rear from the HU?

lol, the signature is complete, but I think it should ahev ended with some !!!

Yes thats what my plan is to power the rear speakers from HU. Just wanted to get some more idea about this; well my requirements are very good SQ with moderate bass. Tell me if I use another amp say a mono or 2 channel amp (bridged) to power my sub do I need a capacitor? Will santro be able to drive both the amp? On top of that; keeping my requirements in mind do I really need another amp without any problem? I think u use 2 amps in ur santro; correct?

Yes, bad websites bug me too. Incidentally I've never perceived the Hertz website as a bad design. And folks generally like it. However, you must be seeing something we dont. Do PM me your comments, I will pass them on to the guys in Italy.

You could have used a spare wheel install with the RF sub. Viper uses it and with some damping ti can make for decent bass with little loss of the rear space.
