Hi !

New Alpine Head Units are below par.
They [Alphine] have gone down market.

I would recommend Blau.

What is the rest of your set up ?

Go to team-bhp and get more details and suggestions.
A lot of very very hepful persons are waiting to give you suggestions.

Regards,

BHAGWAN

i am checking in team-bhp too bhagwan...

but more concentration is given to speakers and very low to head unit...

for me both are important... hence first looking for a good HU....

speakers i will go ahead with JBL. Maruti lousily allow only 4'inch in front and dont have a opening for rear speakers... have to put in a board...

has anybody listened panasonic headunits

Another option (if you think broad):

A good discman or MP3 player with good head-phones - nothing can beat that in car-audio.

IMO it can be disturbing.

I'm using the Pioneer Deh-P8600MP... great CD-Deck..
The quality of Pioneer HUs are great, much better than Sony or JVC...

If you're looking for the best possibilities to improve your CarAudio-Sound.. take the 8600...

IMO

dude...if u can get ur hands on the pioneer p1y ..its been discontinued recently..but u most surely will get a piece...its great...its 60x4 watts..n i think u wont be usin an amp..so this HU will boost the sound..n speakers..jbl gto 936e..amazin set of speakers...but for for original for arnd 4500 bux..all dealers say they hav 3 models...chinese(3100) ....korean or sum country (3800) n the original US (arnd 4500)....but no trust on the shop wala...so better u go to a JBL showroom n buy it...
this combo shoudl rock your car...n plss plss....get goood wires..n u only need speaker wires..so get the best cables available...they will make a lot of difference..

I believe useing Headhones / earphones in the car / on a bike is illegal..... and a sure recepie for a bad accident.


On the side....
Yup, even a Mobile phone headset is illegal. According to the law ( saw an interview with a top traffic police guy, on TV a couple of years ago ) The Driver's mobile phone is supposed to be Turned off while diving ... according to the law.

Yes, I can vouch for Amp_nut's statement. I was caught by a traffic cop on a bike while I was driving my car and speaking on the phone(with no hands-free). He promptly seized my phone and started the usual harassing rigmarole. Thankfully I knew some ppl so he let me off with a fine(Which is what I was asking for with a receipt but he seemed intent on fattening his own wallet). The irony is that fines are usually very low and it makes sense for u and the govt to pay a legal fine.

Speaker cables in a car: I had fitted my car audio with a Sony Xplode from the dealer. He had used some crappy wires. Later after another audiophile told me about the benefits, I had them changed and they made a huge difference even with the average speakers in the car.

guys... went in for a sony headunit... my budget allowed only sony or a pioneer or blau (starting range). i found the sony to be warm.

for speakers i went in for JBL. Wanted to put in a component in front for good soundstage but unfortunately Maruti gives u only a 4 inch speaker point. component speakers are not available at that size.

i am yet to put in rear speakers. have asked the installer to build be a good box before installing it.
