HU: P5050UB - Rs 6,400
Front: Polk db6501 - Rs 5,300
Rear: Polk Momo MMC690 - Rs 6,000
Amplifier: JBL GT5 604 - 4 channel amplifier - Rs 5,000
SCOSCHE E400 - 400 WATT AMPLIFIER WIRING KIT
SCOSCHE wiring all around

(Installation cost Rs 4,500 and was done by none other than Blueraven's team.)

All in all around 28K of hardware and services for quality music :-)

Shortlist: My objective in shortlisting speakers was based on bass and clarity. I did not want to go for a subwoofer for two reasons; First I dont like that too thumping bass and second I did not want to compromise on boot space. Since I was not going for a subwoofer I decided on Polk Momo's for the rear after checking with Satya.

First Impressions: The Polk components are very clear but also a little bright, this can however be easily rectified by tweaking your settings (Satya does a good job on that). The momo 6x9's on the other hand have crazy amounts of tight bass and clarity and easily drown the front db components so you will need to play with the juice from the amplifier to get the front-rear combination right.

I can't beleive that even at 45 volume level there is excellent clarity and tremendous bass all around. Trance sounds awesome and Rock is very hard hitting thanks to the momos. Its just been a few days since I got it installed which means that I am still in the coil burn in period, So the music will only get better with time. I have not got any damping done and the Swift is pretty much holding up at the moment with no jarring on almost all tracks at 45 volume level.

About the install: Satya's boys have done a good install, couple of things I really liked about Satya was that first he never pushed any brand and second he spent a lot of time with each customer to explain and help choose the right setup.

All equipment except wiring sourced from Mishrimal, National Market. (w/o b&w)

PS: Make sure you open and check all the speakers components while purchasing in grey as one of my speakers were broken and had to be exchanged the next day.

Pictures coming soon!
