Infinity has 2 new Amplifiers.

• Ref475a: 4 x 75W Full-range amplifier – Rs. 14,990/-
• Ref1600a: 600W Mono subwoofer amplifier – Rs. 19,990/-

The ref5760a was a 6 channel amplifier that has been discontinued. It has been replaced by the Ref5761, but this is not sold in Europe and Asia for now.

Therefore
  1. It's not sold here, but I guess it should be around $600 in the USA.
  2. Service is available, but warranty would not be applicable.
  3. Resale value should be higher than commonly available brands, but regardless of condition, car audio electronics have poor resale value. I think after 2 or 3 years of use, you can expect a 50% to 60% drop in resale. You'll get less than half the price back.
4. Since budget is no problem and you want to connect 2 woofers and 4 speakers, you would probably want the 4 channel amplifier and the monoblock. The mono would drive both woofers easily.

Your general direction is confused as of now. The Sony 222 is a budget amplifier, grainy at it's best, why would you want to combine it with Infinity amplifier? Why would you be using 2 different subwoofers?
