Hi All,
So I spent the better part of the last 1 year reviewing Theautomotiveindia,Team-BHP and various other sites, in an attempt to understand my requirements and the available options.
Here is the detail and price of the setup.
HEAD UNIT:
Needed A head unit which could play from USB.This was my one and only requirement.

SUBWOOFER:
I am most finicky when it comes to sub, any abrasive blur or boom from the sub puts me off, hence I wanted a sub that would just kick in fast with a tight punch where needed and then lie down quietly. Also wanted a 8 inch sub because 12 inch is too big for the boot of Alto 800 And also wanted the amp to be placed in the boot only.

Things I finally understand:
- What a "laid-back audiophile signature" means, and why that's such a great thing
- What a sound stage is
- The importance of not having massively thumping bass, if you wish to listen to quality music
- What constitutes a high-quality install (I really did not know until I saw this install)
- The rear 6x9s, front door speakers fill the cabin with good surround sound and good SQ.
