Cheers,

Maruti dealer wouldn't tell this or entertain your query. If it is affected, they will do it for sure. They should be having the chassis number cut off of the cars

I am thinking of fitting a woofer to my Ciaz Alpha Diesel. Any recommendations on which model? Will I need an amplifier also? I don't think the HU has an sub out. The dealer has one in the official accessories but it seems overpriced.

Will getting one installed from outside void the warranty?

You definitely require an amplifier for a subwoofer. You can check if the OEM unit has RCA out and if not get an adapter. Most of the audio components are straight up plug and play these days and hence would not require cutting wires. But you will have to be very thorough and insist that no wires are cut during installation.

I would recommend the following:

1. Decent amplifier: 2 or 4 channel depending on your budget. You can run your woofer as well as a couple of speakers through the amplifier, thus giving a better sound quality.
2. Single Subwoofer: JBL would be a safe bet.
3. Damping: Ciaz does not have very good damping, so this would be highly recommended if you are investing in audio.

Thanks for the info, any particular models I should look for?

How are the models which have the amplifier and sub-woofer built into one?

Like this:

I last bought ICE for my Alto 8.5+ years ago, since then its seems prices and models have changed a lot.

To be honest, the last time I played around with ICE was when I replaced my car 3 years back. So I am not really updated with the latest models either. I have 4 Infinity Components on the doors, two Rockford Oval speakers at the back, all powered through a 4 channel Blaupunkt amp. Initially, I had a JBL subwoofer too but soon realized it was an overkill with the oval speakers giving decent bass.

Regarding the active woofer, I have never used one so can't really comment on it. But I personally would prefer a stand alone amplifier so that it can be used to power the speakers as well.

The reason for asking is to confirm whether we can get amplifiers and components installed from outside.

Did you manage to find out about the pre out and did you get an amplifier and woofer installed?

I am also looking at options to get a woofer.

All Maruti has to do is remove the SHVS system from the diesel variants of Ertiga and Ciaz. Both the cars sell well and Maruti will not allow them to be impacted because of GST. They were quick to react and brought the SVHS tech for price benefits, so they will be swift in removing it too, IMO.

Yes, the Ciaz minor facelift leaks could be just for that. They are likely to remove the "Smart Hybrid" tag and do some minor cosmetic updates like DRLs, modified bumper ..etc

Won't be surprised if the newly manufactured Ciaz comes without SHVS from July 1st itself! The facelift leaks on various automotive sites did not have the SHVS badge itself

I get ~14-15kmpl in city drive and ~18-20kmpl on highways. I mostly have a sedate driving style.

I think as per the latest tweak to the FAME rules, the Ciaz (even with the SHVS System) does not qualify as a Hybrid.

So I don't think there is any issue with it continuing with the SHVS as since it does not qualify as a Hybrid it won't attract the GST rates for a Hybrid.

Will be deciding in the 3rd week of July and taking delivery in Bengaluru. Is the price right ?

11.0L - Alpha OTR
10.64L - Zeta OTR
9.9L - Delta OTR

Dealer has it in stock. Includes exchange bonus(not the car itself), corporate discount, insurance and basic accessories. Excludes extended warranty and loyalty card.

[ptaneja]

Post GST, expect a bump in price - about a Lakh more !!

Both Ciaz and Ertiga would be affected. Definitely would cause a dent in monthly sales figures.
