I am on the look out to buy a set of 6.5 inch Component Speakers for my 2004 model Zen. Have already bought the Head Unit and an Amplifier a few months back, yet to be installed. I chose Kenwood HU based on my listening experience in a couple of friends cars and found Kenwood suits my ears when compared with my existing Pioneer (bright), Sony, Blaupunkt & JVC units. I also felt an Amp of the same make should gel with HU and got a Kenwood Amp as well, purely based on the user reviews.
HU - Kenwood eXcelon KDC-X693 featuring 3 Sets of 4V preamp outputs, Rear USB in & AUX in, Sound Excellence DSP (TA), 24 bit D/A converter, Crossover settings for front speakers, rear speakers, and subwoofer etc.
Amp - Kenwood KAC-8404 Four-Channel with Variable LPF/HPF, 50 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms.
Speakers - Suggest the ones which would complement the above Kenwood HU/Amp. I am looking at models from Rainbow, Infinity, DLS, Illusion etc. costing within 10K.
I wont be buying either rear speakers or installing a Subwoofer...just the fronts. I hate those SPL setups which boom.
I want the overall setup to sound detailed, warm and musical...especially at low and moderate volume levels. Since only the front seats are occupied most of the time, I desire a front soundstage.
So far, I've been suggested from a very experienced person who has listened to many setups to go for Rainbow SLG 265 Titans being priced at 9990/- as the ideal one for my requirements. I havent had a chance to check any Rainbows so far. Do anyone here know or have a setup in Bangalore with Rainbows installed that I can listen to or provide any feedback on the same?
Looking to complete the install within 15K, including damping the front doors and decent wiring like finolex or MX. Any recommendations on a VFM 10 gauge wiring kit and damping material (for the front doors)? Suggestions on recommended installers in Bangalore who are good at SQ installs and dont charge a bomb are welcome
