I have narrowed down to the following options*

2.Focal auditor r165s2 @4800
3.Polk audio Db 6501 @ 6900
4.Infinity Pr6500 @ 5500*
5.Boston reference 265c @4300

Amplifier :
1. Blaupunkt gta 470 dsp @6800
2. Focal auditor r-4280 @ 7600
3. Boston acoustics ref 204a @6600
4. Pioneer gm-d8604 @12000

Please share Any feedback or experiences of these and which would be a better choice for a good SQ setup.
If you do have any other suggestions please let me know.*
Thank you.

You are on a tight budget... Under 8 k there are few component speakers. Infinity, rf prime, Polk mentioned by you are decent.
For amps under 12k, check zapco St-b, pioneer, focal auditor.

I heard almost all the options mentioned by me. Pretty decent vfm I can say. One of the better in the budget.
FYI, I am using Morel maximo components (~12k), with Zapco amp in my present setup.

With regard to components I suggest going for silk dome tweeters . Metal dome tweeters and mylar tweeters mostly sound bad . With regard to amplifiers you can choose to go with any class a/b amp rather than class d amp . In pioneer there is A series amp which uses low end sanken output transistors .

Well focal has metal tweeters only :| what about textile tweeters in infinity?

So finally upgraded my sound system a month back. So the current setup is as follows

-Head unit : stock hu

-Amplifier : blaupunkt gta 470 dsp for speakers + v12 4ch for sub (plan to upgrade to mono)

-Speakers : mtx thunder tx2 component speakers in front stock in rear

-Sub: old Chinese sub in ported box

-Damping : stp in front two doors

-Wiring: using havells 16mmsq (read 6awg) separates wiring for both amps.

There is a lot of improvement in the sound stage and sq. Definitely I look forward to further upgrades step by step and slowly.

Special thanks to NIRDESH_KUMAR sir for helping me out in the whole process. He even took out time to be there for the installation and helped me in tuning.

Don't have any pics of the install but here are a few pics of the products used.

Looks good..could you share the settings of your amp? crossover frequencies and gain for Front, back speakers and sub ?
 
Update on the system.

Recently upgraded the sub woofer to Polk Db1240 in a sealed enclosure.

There is a considerable improvement in bass which is tighter.

Now contemplating on upgrade of monoblock.

I am getting a good deal on audison. Lrx 1.1k and would really appreciate any inputs if I should take the plunge or not.
