That engine is really a beast, and I manage to get a FE of around 14 in the city with good careful driving. So my comment was with regard to that. I'm very happy the beat offers a chunky 4 cylinder engine instead of a smaller 3 pot one but that should mean slightly better power.
But I'm willing to compromise on that for city driving. It's extremely comfy to drive in traffic, clutch release is so smooth! Furthermore, from what people say, the car is slung too low, and visibility is bad. I have to disagree! The swooping, supercar feel dashboard and visibility is just so good and accurate! The low slung cockpit makes you feel closer to the ground for accurate steering and driving.
Just my take on the situation!
And thanks for the sound updates. I want to be able to play metal loud and not hear the speakers vibrate and tear at louder volumes. Same with the bass. I usually have to go into the bass settings and turn it a lot lower.
I'm hoping to book a car in september, perhaps october. Still in researching mode. Wish me luck. |
All the luck buddy, may you get your baby soon! Quote:

Is it from JC Road?
Do you know any other brand 4*6 speakers I can consider, which is available in the market?
Actually I checked-up in some of the shops including Reliance Autozone. but all of them are telling it is very difficult to get 4*6 speakers.
I dont want to go for 6*9 with parcel tray. |
You are correct, getting 6x4 speakers is a huge challenge. Boston audio has 6x4 model also and there are a few other brands, if you google you can get info online but availability in India is impossible.
The Polks I have got are from Kumars Automobiles and agencies, #16H Siddaiah Road. Ph: 080-41248934
I would definitely recommend the db641 as they give the best bang for the buck, take my word for it Quote:

Also i do not want to load the speakers on the parcel tray. I want them to be in the stock location. |
Please do go for the Polk as they are great in sound quality as well as rigidity, they look like they will last a lifetime. Cost breakdown
Rear speakers - Polk db641 - Rs 3600
Front speakers - Boston playsmart si403- Rs 1600
Total - Rs 5200
