Thanks
Piano black comes OEM in LS version.

Hey its time to update this thread with some pictures and you promised to upload the ICE setup in this beat.

JBL 6-1/2 incher in stock location for 4x6. Custom install. Even Chevy guys wondered how it is possible to install it when they were only able to fit the 4x6 or 4 incher with clamps.

In for alignment and balancing after rotation.

ICE upgrade

Upgraded the rear 6-1/2 with ocals. JBL GTO-959. Top of the range affordable ovals. MRP 9990, struck a deal in snapdeal.com for under 4k [evil]

It looks sexy, sounds orgasmic. Maximum bass for money. Way better than GTO949. Perfromance similar to my GTO938 with loads of more power handling capability. Doesn't come with the network or tweeter on/off switch like other GTO series ovals. Sound clarity is crisper though. Even on parcel tray it is giving good deep bass.

2013-10-01 17-06-01.jpg


110W RMS.

2013-10-01 17-07-02.jpg


Got parcel tray from Car Park, Chenthitta. Was a bit costlier deal. Took 1.6k, where I could have bought enclosures for the same or lesser price. Workmanship was great. Fits perfect and its 3/4 inch chipwood.

2013-10-01 19-10-08.jpg


Perfect fit.

Done. I've prewired seeing ovals in mind, so had no issues connecting the oval. I bet no ovals comes this close in +/-5k range in terms of blend of clarity and bass.

One bloody beggar pulsar came zigzagging at insane speed, broke mirror assembly and tore off the bumper and fleed. Mirror assembly only recently replaced, cover and mirror broken. Bought new mirror, mirror cover not available. Chevy not willing to sell unpainted bumper, as painting it there cost a bomb. Bumper cost around 1.5k alone, and they are quoting 5.5k for painting and install. There are paintshops willing to do as low as 1k. Chevy dealer saying they won't install without painting [anger]
