I know the Sail is outdated etc but this car is being built to show case SPL (and maybe even SQ).

The Sail is probably the best built hatch. It wont rattle at 100db (with damping and other treatment it might not rattle at all) so it is a good platform.

One can get a used Sail cheap. So that leaves more budget for the audio. Also the stock electricals are very good but then much of this would be replaced.

Yeah the engine is rather sad (even the 1.6) but as Sam says who cares about "engine-vengine".

If you take out the rear seats you'll have enough room for 2 15" subs.

The Sail has tweeter pods in what I think might be the best location for imaging (hint: SQ)

There is enough room between the seats and the door to run 4SWG cable for the amps and good speaker cable and still let the Sail look stock.

You can use 16" rims on Indian roads. Maybe even 17" or 18" but I'd let the wheel forum work that out.
