My Requirements are good music quality(tight and punchy bass) and Bluetooth feature.

HU-JVC KD-R926BT or Kenwood KDC-X8016BT or Should i go for Pioneer(7350BT which has only BT hands free, no audio streaming)
Components for Front and Rear, planning for Infinity series.(Please recommend the models)or should I go for Coaxial speakers for rear?
4 channel JBL Amp JBL GT5-S644(anything better? please advice)
Sub:- JBL CS 1215 or JBL GT5-10 or INFINITY REF1260W (Please advice)
Damp material lease advice for Punto(Quantity and price)

gops the JVC and Kenwood definitely scores above the Pio models, doesnt mean that Pio is bad but I would put my money anyday on one of those.
With a budget of 30k I dont know if you can put in all of that you mentioned. Damping alone should cost you about 4k for the front doors. Noisekill and Dynamat is what you can find in bangalore, unless you wanna go the DIY way of damping doors.
You can use Yoga mats for the same , yes you read it right the 150 bucks Yoga mats.

The Infinity series of Compos don't come cheap, good wiring kits will cost you upwards of 3k so you might wanna scout around town and check a few places and audition a few brands before you spend.

Hi Guys thanks for the repl
@rjstyles,I know the budget I have put is little low considering bill and warranty,but I will getting them w/o B&W.Got a source from National markets where my friends are buying from past 10 yrs and a known guy also, so not much worrying about warranty.My Question is between JVC and Kenwood which one will you recommend?How is JVC KDR926BT? I saw pretty encouraging reviews from mobilelectronics.
Regarding Installation can anyone recommend a guy in Bangalore with affordable rates

I'd recommend JVC with burrbrown dac and it can play WMA from USB too.:licklips:

You could go to EVO and meet with it's owner. This gent is highly regarded by Audiophiles all over the country as one of the foremost ICE installer. I believe his name is "Satya". The good thing is he will give you the best possible system per your budget and not push you towards high sticker items un-necessarily. You can get his contact details in the Bangalore directory on Tbhp.com

Hey Thanks man.By the way will he do the installation if we get all the accessories on our own.

gops I would say go to Satya and speak to him. There are other installers in town too and they are equally good, the only difference is that some of them try and push brands which they deal with.

I was at EVO last evening for my long awaited upgrade and saw a few used stuff lying around. All in good condition, if you are ok go ahead and check them out.I would say be open to this also, coz you tend to find a lot of good amps at throw away prices.
Go to any installer in town and give him your budget and see what he has to offer.

BTW I saw Digital Audio, at his place. You might wanna try it, heard they won the SQ contest in Taiwan this year. Retails at 9k for a pair of compos and for sure I know he wouldn't be feeding me horse crap about SQ .

Pretty much , get ready for a sleep over at car accessory store.

I don't see a reason for him to say no as long as you pay him for the install.

Tuners in most HUs from US are not able to catch on to certain frequencies in use here. HUs are best bought from Dubai or Sing/SE Asia. US market is good for Power kits, Amplifiers, Speakers/Sub woofers, Speaker wires other accessories. Have a look at Car Audio Stereo - Car Subwoofers - Car Amplifiers and Speakers & Woofersetc.com the online car audio super store, the largest selection at the lowest prices!
