Does the last line mean,that I can go for 6x9 coaxials at the rear?The stock arrangement for Estilo is 6" for front doors,and 5" for rear doors!

Performance of Components in front is audibly better, not that coaxials are a no-no. If you listen to an installation with components, you will find out the difference. Audition the installations of TBHP members in Kolkata - they will gladly demo their systems to you. |
I dont want Blaupunkt,Alpine in my car,nor Sony.It has to be Pioneer or something like Illusion,Polk or Hertz..dont know why though!Probably read so much here in this forum,I am biased now,lol!

If you get an imaginative and skilled carpenter, he will be able to make shallow boxes that can be mounted on the sides of the boot
Components are better at creating the audio image, but not that coaxials give a very poor reproduction. |
Where can I get one such carpenter in Kolkata?Please can any Kolkata members help me out on this?All the options seems to be in Mumbai mostly,even Delhi,Bangalore!

I drive my car 99% of the time,and alone..so would Polk be better than easily available brands of coaxials like JBL,Pioneer,etc?None of the shops are ready to audition them until and unless you give them a go ahead that its them who are going to fit it in my car!!I asked one store guy that acoustically which would be better with more thump--a JBL Bass tube or a good sub in an appropriate box?He said that once he is fitting it in my car,he will make me listen to both of them 'in the car' cause sound effects in store and in car vary greatly!Another store,who has a 'free demo of all systems' sign in the store said something like tell me which and when you want to fit,then we can give the trial for you!!
Thanks so much DerAlte for your suggestions.
