Hello, I have a Maruti Suzuki Baleno 2016 model. I wanted to upgrade my ICE to some decent setup. My budget was 30k which I think is not sufficient for the kind of setup I need. So, decided to stretch budget upto 40K (not a single penny above that). As about 90% of the driving time I drive alone, so decided to skip the rear speakers and manage with the stock speakers. The brands that I have shortlisted are DD, Flux and DLS. So, asked a couple of renowned dealers in Delhi and shortlisted 3 setups as of now which are as follows:
A. Budget: 30-32K
1. DD Redline series Compos.: Rs 6.5K
2. MTX/Cerwin Vega 4-Channel Amp: Rs. 8K
3. Rockford Sub 12": Rs. 6K
4. Front Door Damping (CTK/STP or similar): Rs. 3K
5. Hi-Lo Converter: Rs. 3K
6. Wiring (Scoche or similar): 4K
7. Misc.: 2K
Total: 32.5K
B. Budget: 40K
1. Flux Neo 260/DLS MA 6.2: Rs. 14K/ Don't remember DLS price
Rest of the setup similar
Total: 40K
C. Budget: 40K
Same as Setup A with a Pioneer Touchscreen Stereo: Rs. 8K (11K-3K for converter).
Now, the confusion is should I go for DD or Flux/DLS. I found the SQ of Flux/DLS almost similar and DD on a little brittle side. I personally have listened all these speakers and found the SQ of Flux nearest to my taste. The point is I usually listen to the songs at max Vol. 15 (Baleno Volume level goes to 40). So, whether should I go for Flux or stick with DD and save almost 8K.
I will install the rear speakers and a Mono Amp at later stage.
