Hey, I'm getting an alto K10 next month and want to add some audio(ICE) in it, my budget is 15k, any suggestions?? I need CD, USB and an aux will be nice. Also anyone know a good place in kolkata where I can get one??
Just need a head unit and 4 speakers, no amp or such.

Choose Recievers among: Pioneer DEH-7300BT, DEH-P6000UB or Sony GT-790UI.
I've the Sony GT-790UI unit in my car and it sounds gr8. Just love the "DSO" feature in it as well as the ease of access.
However, i'd really suggest Mega Audio MADT 385! Superb features for the pricing and as well as nice sound reproduction. Whats more, it has a 3.5 WIDE TFT for viewing videos from DVDs / SD cards / USBs. Check the availability with your local dealers. Here in NCR, it costs around 8.5K! Totally worth it.
For speakers, look for Infinity co-axials at rear and JBL's components at front. Infinity 6x9 will cost you around 5K and JBL compos will cost ~4K along with crossover set. They should provide gr8 sound imaging and perfect mids and highs!
Even if you are left with more to spend, then i'll suggest MABT 1100 from Mega audio.
Make sure, you check the specs and ratings at their website.
Good Luck...

Thanks, what about JVC 2-DIN Receiver, I like this cause it covers up the entire music system vent(does not leave the bottom vent open like 1-DIN systems). Here's the image:

this one costs like 9k with bill, sony on the other hand(2-DIN) costs like 12k+, I'm getting the Sony speakers(small front, oval back-300w), can't add the amp now as we are about to buy a garage and that is damn costly.

just because I wanted to have bluetooth support too, I went for Sony Explod MEX-BT3850U for my Figo. I am using stock Ford speakers, do not know their make.

Sony Xplod WX-GT77UI - 10K

JVC KW-XR610 - 9K

*www.speedsound.com/images/products/JVC%20KW-XR610.jpg

Front speakers,
JBL GT5-S204 - 1.2~1.5K
OR
Polk Audio DB401 - 1.5~2K

Rear speakers,
JBL GTO948 - 3.5~4K
OR
Polk Audio DB691 - 3.5~4K

Either get JBL set or Polk set...

Talked to a guy in a nearby store, says 12k for it(didn't see it, says have to order it, sounds fishy), crossing the budget by a bit, so finalized on JVC.

JBL and polk audio are same... get either of them...
I myself own jbl GTO in the rear mdf tray of my indica...
They are awesome, they make my rear view mirror tremble during bass notes...
