Yes. Everything is guaranteed in another month.

I will start a new thread on installation with detailed pics & also a video review :)

And for sure, there will be show-off Ilango in our next meet.

I am now looking to source speakers.

Illusion Electra 6.1 & Illusion 693 Ovals.

Chennai doesn't have illusion. Any idea where to source these master pieces ?

My friend can't carry more from USA, as he has a very big list already!!

Hola Guys!

My Head Unit has reached my friend in US yesterday.

He claims it to be brand new [glasses]

Now I have 15K left out for my speakers.

Pour all our opinions.. Will surely consider it, if its of my kind of music!

I am expecting my HU to reach chennai by this month end.

So should get Auditions of all possible speakers in next 2 weeks..

hi buddy, if you need more thump without woofers, consider compos from kicker or ground zero. since you have 15k left for speakers, select the best compo for front. maybe that will cost around 8-9k. then rear co-axials will cost 4k & 2k for wiring kit.

Thanks for your suggestions Raj!

Did you get a chance to get a look at Illusion, Kicker & GZ ?

How do you rate each of these..

I am planning to start my auditions from today.

see, different ears like different kind of sound & hence different brands! my ear is not that sensitive & hence i am not too brand specific.

i find illusion a touch overpriced but some may argue that they are worth the premium. i am myself going to upgrade my car's ICE next week & i would prefer GZ followed by JBL followed by kicker.

Yes Raj,

Agreed.. Sound suggestions will vary from ears to ears!

I had audition of Focal & Morel today!

I think I should get more brands.. Actually I am looking for more crispier sound.

I got very bad feedback of Illusion from that guy. He is a famous/best Installer in city!

May be I should try his rival tommorow...
