Thats a nice list,although i am not a big fan of the morel basic end speakers like the maximo as i feel they wont last long but i guess they wil do well for 3 to 4 years. And since its the rear i wont worry that much. Digital design mono seems good too,if it was 4ch i would have said no because i have seen one car give up & go for a Gladen/mosconi but that was a sq setup running high-quality audio like flac,,wav format. So what you have appears good & probably better than what your friends cars have. :)
Just wanted to know your opinion about Gladen RS-12 sub and Mono amp Rainbow beat 1 vs Digital design am1

I am guessing its the installer i suggested? If yes they do alot of high end cars so am sure work will be good but give them 2 days time if needed , i have read they sometimes have trouble finishing everything in one day.
Yes am glad that u suggested me the installer and I won't rush it I will let them take a couple of days

@ Prads and ice_wise

Finally some updates
Decided on equipments
Front comps - Morel ultra 602
Rear comps - morel maximo 6
Sub - Gladen RS 12
Amps Rainbow beat 4ch, and for mono Digital design AM1

Kindly share your opinion guys.
That is a nice list. Actually at this price point, chances of finding a "bad" product are almost negligible, it is just that the products cater to different listening tastes of people. Some are bright, some are laid back.

Morel 602 are good SQ speakers, I haven't heard them but some installer was praising about their SQ. I have heard Rainbow and they didn't have the bright sharp vocals iffered by other brands. In short, laid back and pleasing to the ears for long durations. I haven't heard Maximos also and going by what Prads said, you should instead look for high end products from lower segment brands if you will listen from the rear seat. If you are mostly at the front seats, then it shouldn't be a problem. Rainbow Beat 4 is nice. Look for Focal FPP also, it is also a good amp. My friend had Gladen RS12 with Beat 1 amplifier and it sounded pretty decent. His car was an Altis and he was having Hertz components up front and Rainbow at back.

After all, it's your money, your car and your setup. So audition everything before buying. And what did you plan for the subwoofer box? Fiberglass?

You cant go wrong with Gladen is what i have heard so the woofer will be a safe bet & as for mono amp digital design amp should do fine especially if its going to save you alot of funds over the rainbow.

For front take a look at Focal 165 kr as i have read many prefer it & if your the party at farm house type then probably i feel you will like them. Morel have good sound & preferred for easy listening but i cant comment much as i have to go by what i have read in most cases. But the installer himself had mentioned that many of his customers prefer focal for a slightly rich experience over the Morel so just informing you that if he can audition them then do listen to them using your own songs & pen drive. Try downloading some 320kbps mp3 to get a better idea.


Is this all working out to your budget?

Sorry dint see your email, was out of town,i have replied to it.
