Doesnt seem like a bad option at all. I'll get good quality terminals and all and then can install these, I guess. :-)
How well do they last in In-Car conditions?

I've clearly stated I'm against all the BOSS, Fake JBL wiring crap.
And no way I'm going for Finolex as the signal (RCA) cable even if good connectors are there in market. (Saw some MX terminals yesterday. Appeared good.)
Please be noted that I'm NOT in mood to unnecessarily save money. Even the expense is worth it, I'll do it. Finolex, Havell etc. Power cables are equally good copper, so there I will save money.
But not in signal (RCA) wires/patch cords or speaker wires.

Confusiiiingggg!!
Components are installed in front. Yet sound is rear heavy. I'm failing to get the connection.

OK.
So 2 x 1way 4" speakers + 2 x 1way 6" speakers?
Please let me also know from where you sourced these drivers and what brand? All I can find here is co-axial or 2way speakers, in those sizes.

If speaker quality = Build quality, then they can all be equally made for all I care. I just want better sound. And I firmly believe each will sound different even if equally priced. In chandigarh, maximum you will get is Pioneer, JBL, Kenwood, Sony subs. Have heard them enough and for too long to tell you which one is playing. JBL appears to perform best out of all.
Yes, I'll be running a sealed box for sure. Need tight punchy sound.
Spec sheets are hardly anything for real world performance. Compare spec sheets of any three 150cc bikes in market. All will have similar specs as regards power, engine, chassis etc. Yet there will be a world of difference when you actually get down to riding them.

Thanks for reassuring my beliefs Sir. I was told otherwise.
Anyways, when you come to think of it. We are manufacturers ourselves. I know the competence or skill or commitment of an average factory employee. Whether a Punjabi/Haryanvi or Bhaiya labour. Same logic.
Whereas Our trips to China have shown even the basic working class to be very motivated and dedicated to work.
I've read here about illusions having good reviews, so seriously considering them. But going by same logic I should also be considering JBL, Bull audio.
hmmmmm......

Tempting! Apart from the usual ones available everywhere, I'll be able to Demo Illusion, GZ's sq line from you, then Rainbows, ID, Bull also :-)
Very tempting for sure!

Correct. It was playing 135-140 bpm very nicely. However I need something that will play 160-170 flawlessly.
Been using all office time(and getting scolding in process!!) on visiting international forums. Every single person just praises ID subs for their SQ and sometimes SPL.
I think I will take SpeedZak's suggestion here, unless I happen to hear something even better. (unlikely though, sitting here in Chandigarh!!)
