130$ will get you either the MX5021 or the Z5300e. Depends upon what you want... power/5.1 go for logitech. If its absolute accuracy and great music playback, go for the altec. For 150$, the Klipsch Promedia 2.1 is a great system as well. Don't buy any of the cheap noname stuff as you'll repent later.

coming from usa u are allowed 2 bags max 30kg each bag.
& u can carry 1 handbag in the plane with yourself.

i think your friend will be able to get 1 box of speaker easily if he is checking in just 1 bag.

i had the same prob when i got my z680's. i had 2 bags & the z680 but then in the end my friend checked in 1 bag for me so i did not have any problems.

the z680's weighed around 24-25kgs so i guess the z5300e should be around 15 - 20kgs.

just forget the z5300. arrange for some more cash if u can n just get the z5500 for 219$. its a killer deal if u can arrange a bit more cash. it sure is worth the 80$ more. trust me.

u wud need the visa to get out , then immigration and stuff , u wudnt be left with much time after that :) . I suggest u come back home and get the mx 5021 , appo told me its as low as 8300 in pune . thatz a very good price considering newegg pricing is around 6.5k . Since u wud be carrying a lotta other stuff , the big speaker box shudnt come in the way :).
