Let's hear the music

[peppernick]

This is my plan for summer, I'm going to give my boot an Ice Cold treatment :D

Just got back from Car Audio Security with these....damn it's hardwork luggin' them [situp

They are doing some smashing Bank Holiday deals on car audio packages and JBL was one of them, the more you buy the more you save......I was going for just subs but ended up with a full install :eek:

JBL GTO 6506 Ce 6.5" front components
JBL GTO 6526 e 6.5" rear co-axials
2X JBL GT412 12" 1000W subs
JBL GTO75.4 100W X 4 amp
2X JBL GTO 75.2 200W mono amps
Free wiring kits

Sold my sub boxes to a lurker in the shop for £20 each.....'psssssstttt, don't buy new, you can have my 'new' ones in 10 mins.....' :D :D

Total hardware cost me £350.......BARGAIN!!!

Now up to Andy to do his magic....... [ok

How do you like my new boot floor? :D :D

Bargain!
I was down there last month when i got my basslink (and now ur selling urs!!)
Have you got HK in ur car at the moment?

[scorcher]

Yoinks! That's a beautiful bootful for £350 :eek:

Just don't drown out that engine note :D

[peppernick]

No HK Jamie....phewwwwww, or else it's another £350-400 for a signal processor.

[BeemerBoy888]

WOW :eek: :eek: That looks impressive Nick, good luck with the install, can't wait to see it when its all done [ok

[Shuriken]

Just the bits on their own look amazing, can't wait to see what Andy does with them. :) 350 quid, sounds like a hell of a bargain to me!

Shuriken.

[peppernick]

350 quid, sounds like a hell of a bargain to me!
Not kidding, if you looking into ICE set-up check out their deals [cool

(Minus the £40 I got for the sub boxes)

OK JBL is not top of the range equipment but it will still sound 100X better than the Harmon Kardon which cost £640 to spec from the factory.

But it's the install which is going to be a blast, knowing Andy's skills :cool:

[Shuriken]

Yeah, even if it doesn't sound amazing (which I doubt) it'll look spot on with Andy doing on. Looking forward to seeing the results. :)

Shuriken.

[Tin]

cool, nice one nick! are you gonna go for any tft screens?

[peppernick]

Screen will be stage 2, mostly likely just one in the boot and use my exixting nav screen up front. I'm thinking of using the stock speakers on the bootlid for show purpose. Andy is going to intergrate a switch that allows me to switch on and off the cabin and external speakers independently. So come show time, the speakers will be blaring with the subs from the boot; other time, the boot lid speakers go to sleep :D

[Ali]

Just as the thread is titled....

I can't wait to hear the music!! ;)

[BigFas]

BLOODY HELL! You don't hang about do you! I'm in London tomorrow, will head down TOttenham Court Road myself :D

[Chaos]

Amazing deal for all that kit m8, seriously nice work on the discounting! I'll be real interested ot see how well it all goes together, looking at doing my ICE next month and all that lot for 350 is damn tempting I can tell you!! :D

[Afif]

this i thought id never see. Nick buying lower end equipment :eek:. Installs going to be phat though!.... ive spent £600 alone on two amplifiers so far [bang. Still looking for a bargain on the sub :(.

[Mits]

Nick that looks like a bit of a bargain, like Afif says i'd end up with one amplifier for that price :rolleyes:

[peppernick]

Heh heh heh.......I've got to start somewhere :D

I decided to put the money toward the install instead. Was looking at a full Alpine or JL Audio set-up but that would have cost me at least a grand. Heard some low end package today and I thought they are very good for the price. Thing about car audio I learnt is not to put equipment aside based on price, you've GOT to hear it first. A lot will surprise you.

However, it's the presentation that counts ;)

I've done my first mod :D :D :D

Ice Cold Audio decals on the other 2 amps.....SICK!

Precisely!

I'm bored to the back teeth of badge snobs saying "shoulda got this" or "this is better" blah blah blah.

IF it suits you, that's the main thing.

Nick, entry level or not, that equipment is going to kick arse! and the install I am sure will look off the chain! Let me know when you're doing it. This I want to see ;)

ALSO, only 1 sub? thought you were going for 2 x 12s?

[peppernick]

Look closely and you will see another 12" stashed under the one on display. Still in box, unopened ;)

[BigFas]

Ah, gotcha. Nice one dude :)

[Afif]

Yea i got to agree. Ive heard quite a few jbl set ups in some chavvy rides recently :p. 206, 106 and a saxo. I wasnt to impressed personally but agreed on one thing for the money it was definately appreciable.

Also they all installed it themselves so i doubt it was at full potential. Neways its definately going to have one over HK. Price will be similar once installed and it will visually look alot pimper :cool:.

My opinion now is i wouldnt want to pay loads for an install of equipment im likely to want to upgrade. Made that mistake once already [bang.

o and that sticker looks sick! Like it was always there :eek:

[Ali_]

Hell Nick thats a great price even by Kiwi standards.... look forward to the install mate and of course pics of the job.

[A5GUR]

flipping heck nick. I thought you meant an extra amp or something. Cant wait to see it installed. Should be able to hear you from here in Solihull!

[Durgesh]

WOW dude, had no idea you were doing this so fast.

Can't wait to hear it.. 2 x 12", had that in my 1st car, it should sound insane.

Tell me when you are going to get it installed.

Durgesh

[peppernick]

Was supposed to do it slowly, to saviour every minute of it; but the deal today was too sweet to pass. Like what Russell Peters said.....you don't buy today you come tomorrow and I say hey, the price has gone up :D

Only thing different was the retail scenario was the opposite, Indian behind the counter and Chinese buying ;)

Will start planning the install next weekend whilst you're away in Monaco :D

[westside]

i told u car audio security is the place to go nick did u speak to K he is the bmw sound gurn there :D

[lee330sport]

Nice one Nick, cant wait to see the install after hearing some of your ideas. :cool:

Those amps and subs kick ass, had them in my Zaf before they got stolen. Ignore the badge snobs dude. £350 what a bargain [bow

[peppernick]

i told u car audio security is the place to go nick did u speak to K he is the bmw sound gurn there :D
Yep, K is da man. I took a measuring tape there to make sure the amps fit my boot and he just said 'no problems, with the subs extending out x cm and the 4-channel amp sitting in front of the monos, you have y cm to play around with, you want some caps to go with it?'.......Damn, he knows his dimensions ;)
