I was a noob when it came to audio but had a huge desire and appetite to learn. So I started reading this brilliant site called – Basic Car Audio Electronics (Basic Car Audio Electronics). Cleared a lot of my doubts but then the final Q came as to what to install. Luckily for me, I had a friend in Amit, dont remember his handle at Team-bhp, but he’s the guy with the Accent and some awesome SPL woofers.
He introduced me to team-bhp and here began my quest for audio nirvana. After reading countless posts, I inferred that the best person to get in touch in the real world was Ajay Kamath aka B&T. A year before I got my system installed, I used to work with CNBC TV-18. I thought that it would be a brilliant opportunity to film the installation for their Tech Show. So after numerous phone calls with Ajay and the Tech Shows director we fixed a date. You can check the video here.
My budget wasn’t too high and I was very much interested in SQ. This is what Ajay recommended and was installed in the car. The prices are one and a half year old.

My experience: I have simply loved it !!..The SQ is amazing and driving the car from a chore in Mumbai traffic became a pleasure.
I sincerely thank team-bhp, Ajay Kamath and Amit for extending their support and sharing their knowledge and experience.
I have already uploaded the snaps in the sale thread here. So, I guess, I would save Team-BHP some server space. Here is the thread:
