Sir Infinity Kappa 692.9 are the best you can get for $100 (if you can find them at that price in good condition).
For components ALpine Type R are available in Karachi for the same $160 Price.
YOu can also get Focals and Type X if your budget allows.
I advise you to get all speakers and HU from Karachi unless you need something unique or really getting a good deal, you can save the Customs and shipping cost.
For HU I advise you to go for the CDA 9887 for pure SQ and control and Pioneer if you llike Pioneer, it has better looks and a warm traditional Pioneer sound and it will have a better resale, either way you cannot go wrong, my rupees are on ALpine if I were you.
The ALpine and Pioneer High end stuff is all genuine here, the build quality is not like an AMerican product and you will not get a 1 year full replacement warranty, but the difference can be disregarded.
ICE products available here are made in third world countries or shipped from grey markets to cut the cost so it impacts on packaging but the products are good.
The JBL GTO's and GT5 are mostly fake or either they are China copy with a pathetic built, even the originals have a way inferior built then the ones available at Amazon or Cructchfield, however Power series SUBS and T696 coaxials can be found original if you try hard.
You can go to saddar at majeed electronics, Haroon radio clifton or Alpine shop but I will recommend you to contact @Smartboy, he is the techy guy here with young blood and he is also a reliable person, can save you from a lot of trouble, I am just old school.

simple sir, over here the stuff we get mostly is smuggled and taxes dont apply. plus for makes like pioneer we get the stuff from singapore where this stuff is relatively cheap
Sir for Pioneer, Kenwood and Sony I can assure you that it is not smuggled, atleast not in Karachi.
For other brands your point is definitely valid, specially for the JBL.
