Hi guys,
Just got the delivery of my new Polo Petrol Comfortline!
The hunt is now on to jazz it up with some nice ICE. Request all fellow gurus/ veterans to please advice me with the equipment/setup.
Ive read lot of posts here and have some idea about the right questions to ask.
Current setup:
HU - Sony
Front speakers - pioneer round 4"
Rear speakers - sony ovals 9" or 6", unsure
No tweeters, amps or any other thing. Basic.
My understanding of ICE is very very basic. But I am very keen on learning everything that I can about it.
My preferences:
HU:
I do find the sound from the sony on the sharper side. Ive not heard pioneer/ kenwood or anything else much. So dont know how they stack up against the sony.
I listen mostly to: hindi film songs, house, techno., lil bit of hip hop
I DO NOT like sharp sounds, although the listening time at a stretch is not usually more than 15-20 mins with a bi-monthly drive from Mumbai to Pune (3 odd hours)
SPEAKERS:
My front speakers are like tweeters, cant listen to them with the rear ones off
I would essentially like something which gives me a good balance between the hi's/lows.
I like the sound more from the rear rather than the from the front> Ideal would be something balanced to the CENTER of the car. But again, your expert views might help me understand this better.
Dont know whether 4 or 6 speakers would be ideal/ necessary?
AMPLIFIERS:
As far I as know, this would elevate the listening experience to another level so will appreciate if someone could tell me what I need.
SUB:
I dont like thumping, mirror shattering type of sound, but if this achieves the balance then sure dont mind putting in a small one. Just a lil skeptical considering the lack of space in the car.
COMPONENTS etc.:
Please throw some light on this part since I am completely unaware of what they are/do and whether I really need them.
OTHERS:
Any other thing that might help you advise me better. Given the fact, that I am a complete noob at this, Im sure I mustve forgotten to give enough info.
INSTALLER:
I live in the Prabhadevi area but dont mind going an extra mile, need some advise on where I can procure all equipment and get it fitted without having to worry about the autheticity as well as installation expertise/ quality.
Sorry for the long post. But any help would go a long way in defining my music experience. Thanks a lot guys.
