The configuration is fine except for the HU. A 3150 or above would really do justice to your setup. 3150 would cost 1k more than 2150.

Feel free to ask as many questions as you feel.

Thanks for your reply Ami. Please let me know the reason for why you asked me to go for pioneer 3150 is that for 2 RCA output or is there any more technical stuffs extra in 3150. And also can i buy the head unit and speaker with bill and warranty or can i go for grey market with one year seller warranty.

2RCA is the main update in 3150. It will be good for you as you will be having rear as well as front speakers.

Grey would be fine.

It is 3150UB.

I'd taken mine from Wood's road near Spencers. The shop name is 'Car Auto Accessories'. A good shop.

There are other shops mentioned here.

Hi Ami. I bought my audio setup on today. As per your advise i got the Pioneer 3190 UB. Will get it installed by one of my friend on monday. Please find the config with prices as it would help others.

HD: Pioneer 3190UB - 6300 (W/B & W/W)

Front Speakers: JBL GTO 608C - 3650 Rs (Without bill & warranty)

Rear speakers: JBL GTO 938 - 2750 Rs (Without bill & warranty)

Plank: 450 Rs

Horness: 125 Rs

Total : 13,275 Rs and i payed 13,200

Ami i have some questions need your help please..

1. what do you feel is this a good deal or i lost some money in any of the items by paying more?

2. Do i need to buy an amp for good sound (i listen to all kind of rocking and melody songs) or will this configuration work good ?

3. Do i need to buy any extra wires for connecting the head unit and speakers for swift or the cable provided with the speakers will be more than enough ?

Will be waiting for your reply... Thanks in advance..Cool

Sorry, had been away over the weekend.

1. The deal is good. The price of the speakers seems so low.

2. The above speaker is good enough. Amp will let you play in higher volumes smoothly without distortion. It will also tighten the bass. Amp can be added later on if you feel the need for it. First I would suggest you to listen to your current setup for a month or two and then take a call.

3. Wires and harness would be needed.

Thanks for your reply Ami.

Finally i got my audio system installed on today. But when i hear it with high sound i get more distortion. I think i should go for amp in the future but not right now as tight budget. 

And Ami i have a problem after i got my audio system installed i din't check that properly. Once i reached home and rechecked it at high sound the front door right side speaker (JBL component) creates a vibration with noise. What can i do for that any idea or do i need to contact the installer again for correcting it. Please need your help... 

Also i used the wires which was provided with the speaker. Do i need to change that or is that ok for time being so that i can change while i go for a amp...
