Please watch out on Kenwood HUs... Best if you can fit speakers and experience the sound quality before you "buy" the speakers.

Let me explain: I had Kenwood HU in my earlier car and had Nippon speakers. That was the kit that Maruti gave me. It sounded lousy - ultra lousy. Totally shallow and wallowing sound quality. Changed the front speakers to Pioneer 6" first. Within the same week, changed the rear speakers to Pioneer 6" rounds (Baleno comes with 6" slots all around). No change in quality. Checked all the wiring again, found a major mess on the polarities. Cleared up the mess. The wallowing problem was solved. Lived on with it for almost a year. Then after some research on the web, found the Kenwood HUs do not offer as much sound controls and clarity as other manufacturers (Read as Pioneer / Sony / Bluepoint). Result: Simply dumped the Kenwood and got Pioneer HU - was lot better beyond that point.

Really sorry, but, I thought I would suggest upfront!!
