Yes B&T, I was cautioned as they consider India very veyr very hot place. hehe. Currently the sony 502 under my seat seems to be doing fine. Also correct me if Im wrong but I doubt I can get 4ga in small quantities ? 4ga will probably cost me a fortune... also :(

Now this brings me to another part of my ICEing budget - cabling !

Equipment :

Amplifiers :
  • 4 channel x 1
  • 2 channel x 1 (bridging for sub)
Speakers :
  • Front - 6.5" comps
  • Rear - 6x9"
With the above mentioned equipment I reckon I will require
  • Amplifier wiring kit * 2 (one per amp)
  • RCA * 4
  • Power cables * ? quantity
  • Speaker wire * 20 metres (for santro?)
In addition to cabling I guess I need
  • distribution block
  • fuse holder
Now its time for the ice heads to work out some options for me & PRICING. I know budget doesnt mean a thing to any of you but do keep in mind that Im not looking at cheap cheap boss.. neither do I want platinum !!! hehe

Approximate pricing for each of the mentioned items would be reaaaaaaaaly helpful... prices I can expect to pay in India that is... for everything else I can google
