from the stuff you have metioned above....I thing you have a nice budget....but the equiment you have selected is a total mixture of SQ and SPL...and what not......so firstly can you mention what is your budget and secondly what do you plan to listen will help you in telling you the best option to you......

Both the BPX1100.1(Rs. 66,000/-) and 2200.1(RS. 99,000/-) are excellent amplifiers, extremely powerful. The 1100.1 will drive most power hungry subs and beat the crap out of cheaper ones.

The 2200.1 is built by Crown. It is the entry level crown amplifier. We had that running in our Palio, driving 2 15" GTi subs. It is very, very powerful. After the 2200.1, comes the A3000GTi(RS. 2,45,000/-) and then LBM's favourite amp, the A6000GTi (RS. 4,95,000/-), also built by Crown.

shady,

Me thinks you are confused. To clear this confusion I would suggest you forget the internet and visit a few good audio shops in your area. I dont care if it is car audio or home audio. Visit these shops and listen. Most audio saloons are very happy if people drop by to listen. I often drop by an audio shop just for a fix of some music (esp if my wife is shopping).

Althought there are not hard and fast rules I would try and keep things simple.

a) stick to the same brand and line of speaker for front and rear so that you dont have very different flavours emanating from the front and rear.

b) Stick to a single 5/6 ch amp or at best a good mono and a good 4ch. amp. You can always add a 2nd/3rd amp if you feel you need more. If you are going crazy try a combo of a 6ch. amp and a mono. For the Baleno you could investigate biamped front speakers (3 way), 2 way rear components, and a 15" sub. The 6 ch. amp would drive the front (biamped) and rear.

c) Alpine, Infinity Perfect and Morel sound vry different. Morel sounds a bit like Dynaudio if you can listen to Morel try listening to Dynaudio. Other
brands to consider is SEAS and Focal. Focals can be very sweet if mated to the right electronics but their tweeters used to be a little suspect in the hont and humid climate of mumbai/chennai.

d) for the subs I would also consider ID and Boston's Pro line as well as stuff Tumult, Brahma, Shiva, etc..

The 626 has no place with Infinity Perfect, Morel, etc...but you can get some nice Pio HUs just make sure they will work with your older changer.

So go out and start using your ears. Reading can only get you so far.
