Does the installer plug in the Rca cables while pre switched on ??

LordOsama (LordOsama) 2013-06-14 14:08:16 +0500 #23

Not really the installation was completed before hand.
So what I expected is true? This isn't an original Alpine V12?

LordOsama (LordOsama) 2013-06-14 14:37:46 +0500 #24

@Talhadon would you be able to suggest any local market IN brand amp under 10K? (rest of the money I might lose while bargaining tomorrow asking to replace the shop I brought these items from)

Also I visited Laser Sounds on Hall Road first but the guy there was unable to answer my questions satisfactory, would they be able to source branded wires and do the clean installation I'm looking for?

Talhadon (Talhadon) 2013-06-14 16:32:10 +0500 #25

Yes ...Asif at Lazer Sound is the guy who will source you imported goodies !
For clean installation Aftab is your guy .....

Bro,Actually local amps do not got proper specifications ..... And without specs its unable to tell about the guts of the amp !
However ,American Audio ,Vibe Sound,Venom amplifiers are found in market these days ....However ,No idea about rms ratings but people running 2x subs on them and satisfied ,So you should have go for them !

Or get Pioneer GM series 4 channel or 2 channel branded amp as a replacement with your current stuff to run just speakers ....And for sub you can get mono later !
(Recommended though) !!

Talhadon (Talhadon) 2013-06-14 16:39:25 +0500 #26

Well at the moment it is true ....Since no proper specs link can be found on google!
Rest Lord knows well!

LordOsama (LordOsama) 2013-06-14 17:07:52 +0500 #27

Can you please suggest me rest of the equipments except the rear speakers & sub?
A mono, amplifier for the speakers if you think there should be one and components if they are a necessity.

Budget is not a problem and I can go for another 25 / 30K easily but not being a music guy I don't really think I should spend this much.

I bought these things after hearing a long speech by the shopkeeper, his long beard and he saying us his kids...
I'm not a guy who bargains or wander here & there and prefer getting things done from one place. Let's see if he'll be able to entertain us tomorrow or I'll leave his shop name & the bill here so that others can stay away.

trusting someone is good but not trusting is better..and by the looks of it..the amp looks fake to me..u should have asked here before buying anything in the first place

I've learnt my lesson :banghead:

@poster

the shops mentioned above are the ones that sell authentic merchandise

the amp definitely is a fake. the v12 logos are missing on the guts too. return it to the shopkeeper and slap him in the face. ur wasting 12k for no apparent reason. u can easily get a Pioneer 8601 (800 rms mono) in 14k and even some of the kenwood and sony mono amps too.

as for the rca's, change them too. most of the members after changing these exact local rca's to the better ones have noticed a huge difference in sound quality.

check ur install with the shops above. if they cant fix it, there is a thread here that explains all the ways in which u can tackle these static noises.

devils_smile (Mustafa) 2013-06-14 19:40:27 +0500 #32

iv already told u to replace the fake alpine mono with a pioneer 8601 mono. trust me, make this ur first priority. branded over fake all day long.

u will need a 4 channel amp for your speakers (both front and rear). if u can spend money, get the pioneer 8604 (14k) or the pioneer gm6500f (9k). both will do fine.

u can get branded wires from laser sound. tell them to redo the install and wire everything the way i told u in my first comment.

sub and rear speakers are fine. people usually go for aftermarket components in the front.

Talhadon (Talhadon) 2013-06-15 04:57:07 +0500 #33

Agreed with Devils smile

LordOsama (LordOsama) 2013-06-23 09:39:19 +0500 #34

OK!

The problem was addressed by the same shop keeper, the uncle didn't asked a question what happened to the amp, why I want to change the amp and also didn't checked if its blown :o wasn't able to update this thread earlier as was busy in some uni stuff.

I asked him to get me 8604 6500F and 8601, heard them all none of the amps was producing sound like before although the noise problem was solved by just changing the amp. Finally I settled with this Vibe Sound 4 channel amplifier. This amp blown one of my Sony rear speaker set and I had to replace them along. Decided to go with Kenwood 718 but heard this set JVC CS-HX7157X and selected this one.

Here are some pictures of the setup. Didn't bothered to clean the interior as the sun was at it's peak that time.

About the clean installation, I ordered the board but the installation guy said that the board will effect sound quality and the bass will be reduced highly. Confirmed with the friend who has the same setup and getting a positive answer dropped this idea.

I wasn't able to get branded RCA's from Laser Sound once again, they were only having Focal complete Kit and that too with 4,5 feet cables so I had to comply on these cables once again but no there isn't any distortion and this fulfills my demand pretty nicely.

Final Outcome:

Thats good that your problem is resolved .....
Bro would you mind telling me the price of Vibesound and you got it used or new?
Any chances of selling it ? Pm me

I think you bought Alpine amp from Ali hassan traders. And i think that amp was fake.
Its nice that that uncle changed the amp.

madhouse12 (madhouse12) 2013-06-25 08:57:09 +0500 #37

the amp is definitely fake. alpine wont call their amp a 1 channel amp. also the board looks to me like one of the chinese amp boards. next time anyone of you go to an audio shop, check the terminals of solid audio, presence and caliber etc amps. they will be almost always exactly same.

LordOsama (LordOsama) 2013-06-27 07:09:03 +0500 #38

The price was adjusted with the previous amp, blown Sony xplod and paid them the difference including the price of JVC - it's used.
Not now as I'm satisfied with the results but sooner or later I have to get rid of this car will let you know

Hi,
Is there a way to check if an amp of any item regarding audio is original? Except its paperwork and box?

While I was searching for the subs I found a few Kicker CV and some US subs but they had a suspicious material used around the coil for cover and that too not smooth and even. Were they fake?

devils_smile (Mustafa) 2013-06-27 09:08:07 +0500 #40

well the best way to get to know if the item is a fake/original is through its paperwork (serial numbers)

if those arnt available, u can always inspect them. if u have an experienced eye, u will instantly know if the item is a fake

u can also check for the originality via the guts ( in the case of amps )....

if ur not sure, u dnt have the paper work or cant figure out from the guts, take some pics and compare it to images on google.

as for the subs ur talking about, well the material used abound the coils would be glue if incase the coils were changed. even if they aint fake, they would definitely be repaired
