Greetings everyone!
I recently purchased Honda City iDSI 2007. I need to buy a decent quality sound system for my vehicle. The city of residence is Karachi. And I am a total NOVICE in audio stuff. I haven't decided on budget yet but I guess, I'll go step by step and initial budget is around 25k. Right now, I don't need everything. I may buy a headunit with a pair of speakers only. Or if a pre is essential, that too but my budget is limited to 25k for now. Car doesn't have anything at all right now. No speakers, No HU.
I want in-cabin sound as perfect as possible on all sound levels. I don't want/need loud sounds. I am not planning to install a subwoofer in near future but still quality bass, from speakers only, is desirable. I have searched this forum and found Haroon Radio a good source/shop. So, I went to Haroon Radio (boat basin). I put up my requirements and asked for suggestions. I also inquired them about Pioneer 6975v2 speakers price. They said v3 is available in 19k for a pair. Anyhow, they suggested the following.
DEH-S4150BT -->12,300
TS-A6986S -->7,900
GM-A4704 -->11,000
TS-A1606c -->8,000
Total = 39200
Later, I went to the Alpine store (or something like that) just besides Haroon Radio and asked for their suggestions. They told me that above configuration is suited for loud sound but not quality sound. They recommended the following.
Infinity REF-6522ix --> 11,500
Infinity PR-9603 --> 12,500 or Infinity PR-6500CS -->14500
Pioneer DEH-S5050BT --> 13,500
Total = 37,500 or 39,500
I also found some post on this forum where Sony system around my budget was suggested. Now I don't know what to opt for.
Right now, I would go for minimum setup like HU and a pair of speaker only or optionally, a pre too but within 25k. I would later add the other pair (and pre if not purchased already). Can you gurus please suggest me a good setup considering my budget and requirements? Your valuable help would be highly appreciated.
