Surround 5.1 Dolby ICE Setup For Car
- Thread Starter stingray91
- Start date
I was very busy for months,but we are finally there! Really amazing this thread lit up again just as build was beginning.
But right now its a SQ set up, a month odd later when car system will be taken for tuning then rear speakers will be added & the surround effect comes with the tuning from then on,I can choose what kind of effect & eq i want based on my mood or music i am listening to.
Build was suppose to start today but i knew some parts wont arrive in time so it was postponed to Wednesday. So by friday i can post a build log.
As for the budget its been blown up a bit. Already have been driving with parts of the interior missing as they have been sent off for custom work.
Also want to make note some of the first posts i made on this thread were not correct & we can achieve better surround by smart tuning with limited speakers also.
With time i am sure i can guide many people for better sound set up with out breaking their budget, its a learning experience so i feel i over spent here & there but not too much.
Anyways here is what the project looks like now
Stage 1 - Its a SQ setup,everything except rear door speakers will be done.
Stage 2 - A month odd later when speakers are run past 50 to 100 hours it will be taken for tuning again,where the rear speakers will be added or changed. Then the surround sound option can be worked into the system.
Stage 3 - Maybe 6 months later woofer will be upgraded & other mods will be done based on requirement

Update: My car is still being worked on,apparently some parts are stuck at airport customs due to some officials being arrested.
So in short entire Bangalore customs cargo is stuck.
Got to check some of the work done so far, it looks clean, also will be getting rear speaker work done now itself so surround feature will be integrated into my selectable options.![[:)]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Smile.gif "Smile [:)]")

Anyways looks like the customs prob at Bangalore airport is still not resolved & my parts are still stuck, so car is sitting at home with some custom work done on it but other things are yet to be done. I am leaving town for around 2 weeks so hopefully by then parts will be back.And yes will be having the surround feature integrated as i have become impatient of waiting & i want to get things done in one shot.
Anyways posting pic of the Custom "A"Pillar for now,thats the only eye candy as of now, remaining once system is done.
