Latest Car Audio Prices (Big Update)

[Talhadon]

he is asking 15k, is it reasonable?

You can try to negotiate it....12~13K is somehow worth price tag of this HU....

[Bad_Cheetah]

Fusion NV or Polk DB....!
Excellent comps,easily found under 10K range....

NVs and DBs both i think are above 10k

The best under 10k are Fusion Encounters, CM65, great midbass, great tweets and a great price. Also if you could find a set of original infinty, i know of a place where infinity is available, but the person told me himself that those arent original.

Another advise, make a list of all the components in your budget
Encounter
D1720
703P
702P ( if available )

give them a listen, and then buy. different people have different listening preferences.

Ooopsss...!
I am thinking like poster want to get used comps in warranty under 10K range...!

If new one is condition then go for Pioneer D1720c components....!
you can easily find them around 9~9.5K range (Box pack)....

Original Kenwood 4- channel Car Amp model KAC-746.
Original 400 watts high quality sound. Can easily run 02 kenwood 718 speakers and 01 pioneer D2 woofer. Amp is imported from USA

PRICE= 6,500

Audio bank 2800watts, 4/3/2 channel.. can run 1 woofer and four speakers easily it was running 1 D-2(1200W) and four speakers) just like brand new...just one month used box packed

Price= 6,000

ORIGINAL KOREAN amp (PRESENCE) .. 2-Channel amp (400W) .. real heavy amp , this is running D-4(1400w)just like new..

Price= 5,000

Now which one is the best to run 6902r/ 6975v2 speakers.. i want gud sound plus bass.. and demand of the amps r reasonable or high?

[hashamraja]

another option is i stick with my pioneer 6973e speakers and install a normal price woofer.. whcih of the above mentioned amp will run these speakers and a woofer?

[TaLaL786]

actually i am not against buying used stuff
but after having a bad deal of comps i purchased from here
i am inclined towards new stuff or used but with warranty stuff

Arsalan Bhai is selling Polkaudio DB series comps
yesterday had a test of them
they are great but r without warranty or box
thats why i am reluctant in buying them

So in short if i go for new comps the best option is EN CM65
i heard kenwood and sony cheap comps are bakwaas
is it true?

Last time I checked at Disco Music
Amir bhai quoted 8.5k or 9k for JBL P608c( i don't remember that make and model exactly but i think it was this one and he was giving 6 months warranty

What do you guys say ?
I currently have 718s in my car and their tweeters are dead so the sound is good and loud without getting annoying
now i need to bring the sound upfront and want bass too without a SUB

Without sub woofer you are un able to get expected bass from your setup....!

But still if you are against with woofer than dead your 718 tweeters more to enjoy only bass from speakers...
CM-65 are hell good then Kenwood 703p and sony components...!

Kenwood and sony components are actually for guzara...
So better get fusion or else if you spend some more than buy Pioneer D1720c components,they are some how more better than cm-65...!

Ammad Ghauri on pakwheels selling his pioneer D1720c components for cheap...You should contact him,and he is also in your neighbor city...!

Focals have the BEST woofers, they are notorious for their mid bass, bohat hi alla!

I thought Encounters had the best bass, but after shifting to focals, my impression changed, but out of all those in that price bracket JBL 608 and encounters, both would be great value for money. Do give a hear to the both of them before buying.

Had a little meet with Dr. Shaggy two three days ago, listened to his Focal Utopias woofers, and they blew me away, literally blew me away, their bass reproduction is out of this world, AD873 with his KRX2 blew me away too, Focal makes the best woofers, suweett.

[Bad_Cheetah]

Since ive had Encounters for around 5 months, they sound really nice for a 8.5k component set.

The tweets are nice, as well as the mid-bass, coupled with a pair of rear speakers, im sure they would be fine.

About bridging of an amp then:-
Bridging an amplifier allows you to cut the number of channels the amp uses in half, but double the power sent to each speaker. It allows a powerful mono signal to be sent to a subwoofer. It's usually quite easy to bridge an amplifier, but it can cause serious damage to you and your equipment if done incorrectly!

Ohms are actually allow you to use your audio equipment on difference impedances so you can wired your sub @ your desired ohms on which your amp gives the more power..!

About D2 woofer...!
then,
D2 woofer having 2 voice coils of 2 ohm...!
D4 woofer having 2 voice coils of 4 ohm...!

Single D2 woofer can be run @ 1 and 4 ohm!
Single D4 woofer can be run on 2 and 8 ohm!

Hope you understand it..!

(If u can't then first buy that stuff)!

Guys i have decided to get brand new Fusion NV CM65 comps
now i wanted to ask is the current market price 12k or more or less ?

Does changing a battery of car effect on speakers
today i upgraded car's battery with a 45Amp one
now the speakers are giving distortion noise as if the are damaged or something like that
Even right before changing the battery speakers were perfectly fine i was listening song with volume at 15

[ahsanonline]
