Excellent DerAlte, very informative and to the point. It covers many things that I wanted to know. Thanks for that. I went through some reviews in the internet (crutchfield) on Apline models and this one was available at $200. My BIL is flying down this weekend and will ask him to pick it up from Dubai or Doha. I am a bit worried of fake stuff here and thats why even if I dont get a price advantage at Doha, I will pick it up with a upper limit at 10k. Dubai prices AFAIK (from past purchases) are same as that of US prices. Will update the actual price once I get it or he enquires there.

With all your inputs I think it would be safe to lock on, Apline + Blaupunkt THX models components for front + Blaupunkt Bass tube (Just to ensure that all are from the same brand and hence match). Great to hear that 6.5 comps match well with Safari's stock location and I can postpone the dampening thing.

Can you suggest a reasonably good wiring kit (Brand + Price ) and from where I can get them, please.
