Recommendations for component audio system to compliment my subs?

[KidK9]

Hey all, I was hoping you guys could recommend a nice component setup to compliment my current setup. First, I am going for clarity...not ghetto bump, truck rattling crap.

I currently have a Clarion head unit with JL Audio amp and 2 12" JL audio subs.

It came with the factory Mach sound system, but I would like some nice stuff to replace the front doors, the back deck, and the tweeters. Thanks so much for all your advice, as always!

$1000 or less for the whole thing. Is that reasonable?

for that price you can get a good set of componants and a good amp to push them. Componants tend to eat a little more power because of teh cross-over networks they use so an amp would not be a bad idea by any means, and they would keep up with your current subs better too.

In that price range you can consider some nice speakers from hertz, diamond audio, phoenix gold(some good new stuff)...

mb quartz wouldnt be bad for the price if their quality hasnt dropped over the last several years(ive been out of the biz a while) diamond is always a good choice.

dont worry about rears as you wont need them with a quality set up in the front. spend your money on a nice amp and nice set of components and youll be happier in the end!!

Ya MB Quartz sold out and are garbage now ..

If you want quality speakers you want Focal , Hertz, Hybrid Audio , Zapco , Seas, Audison,

Alpine , Rockford, phenix gold, kicker and just ok ..

i run coaxials and component kenwood excelons with rockford phosgate amplifier and so far for just speakers have been the best sounding speakers. That counts customers and my other systems.

I have always like Image Dynamic Component sets, even the lower priced sets sound really good.

at this price you can get a cheap set of rear fill speakers and a nice 4 channel amp and stay on budget.

I was also told some JL Audio C2's would work well with an amp. Anybody have experience with these?

JL makes great amps and speakers for sure .. There really are so many amazing car audio brands out there for sure..

never used JL components but I have used their amps and subs for many years with no issues. I just gave my son my 300/4 and 250/1 and 12" W6 out of my Mustang to start his first system. I picked up some old Xtant amps on ebay that I have wanted for 15 years.
