Dear CarWale Friends,
Greetings of the Day!
After owning a car for the last 4 years with a basic ICE setup given as a freebie by dealer, the ICE bug has finally bitten me. So I have been driven here to get your Sweet & Sound advice!
Car - Santro Xing
Present System - Basic Sony Xplod HU & speakers in stock position (Not sure of the model numbers)
My preferences in the new setup:
a) Have a taste for clear, sweet and punchy music. not inclined towards boomy/loud music
b) Mostly I will be driving the car and parents would be seated in the rear who may not appreciate heavy sound from the rear. (so woofer ruled out I believe!)
c) Considering HU outlives the car itself - like to get one with most of the features.
CD & USB support (possibly rear USB), parametric equalizer, HPF/LPF,2/3 preouts, variable
colour illumination other sound setting adjustments.
d) At this point of time, I'm looking at a starting budget of 10K to 15K and maybe later expand the system.
So considering I request you friends to suggest good HU and front & rear speakers.
Alsoplease clarify,
1) whether can go for components for the front as I drive mostly and leave the existing rear
speakers for now
2) whether Amplifer is necessary for the setup to be proposed.
Based on your inputs planning to go for a HU & Speaker search this weekend.
Appreciate all you suggeestions!
