Hey guys . I own a fiat grande punto 1.4 emotion pack ( blue colour ) , got it in january 2010 . During the test drive of the vehicle i noticed the sound system was pathetic , but still went for the italian beauty mainly for its control , performance , build and the looks .
I managed for a year with the sound system ( practically ate my head away ) and now i cant bear the sound anymore , soo i decided to use up my savings and go for a better sound system .
I mostly listen to TRANCE and PROGRESSIVE HOUSE soo i need a big thump in the system to give me the feel of the music .
My current factory system consist's of a Blaupunkt head unit , 2 stock tweeters and 4 stock speakers ( front and rear ) .
1 ) Firstly , The head unit does not have an output for the amp , soo im guessing i'll have to go with a line out converter . Shops in mangalore are selling sosche line out converters . Is it of any good ? Will the sound quality break down with this ? is there any other brand better than sosche ?
( cant change the head unit because the blue and me is attached to it , and once i remove it ; the blue and me and steering wheel controls will no longer work . soo i havto settle down with keeping the head unit )
Are there any other ways to plug in the amplifier without the line out converter ?
2 ) Secondly , a week ago during my vacations i brought myself an ALPINE PDX 1.1000 mono block amp ( class D )( 1000 watts on 4 ohms and 1000 watts on 2 ohms ) from the gulf ( heard really good reviews about the amp soo went for it since it would cost a bombshell here in india ) .
soo now im planning on incoperating a good subwoofer . i want the subwoofer to give me a proper Bang , real deep and intense sound .
A dealer in mangalore told me he'd prefer JBL CS1215T ( 250 rms , 1100 watts , for RS. 5990 /- ) . . There seems to be no news on the JBL CS1215T in any forums soo im doubting whether its a good buy . would you prefer this ?
Is there any other brand which you would prefer to go with this amplifier and give me the sound i want . Many are telling me to go for polk audio , infinity , jbl , bull audio , hertz ( but none in specific ) . which specific subwoofer do you think will be better for me since im totally confused with the various types out there .
My budget for the subwoofer is around 7k . Extendable to 8.5k-9k .
3) As for components and co-axials , i will be getting a ALPINE PDX 4.150 in around 3 months which will be connected to the ALPINE mono that i have ( ALPINE amps are stackable ) , soo will put in a proper set of components and co-axials at that point of time , but please do tell me which set of components and co-axials you would prefer for my taste of music and which would sound good with your preferred subwoofer ?
My budget for co-axials are 6k and components are 6k as well . will this price range be enough ?
Planning to put in the new subwoofer by next tuesday or wednesday ,i.e on the 1st or 2nd of feb .
Looking forward to your replies .
cheers ,
