You've never heard of JBL?  Yes, they're pretty good.  Sometimes overpriced, but very good quality.

I hear all the time, that if you have enough money, those are the subs to get.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Yes. JBL and JL Audio are two different Companies. Never heard a JBL. JL Audio are nice. I prefer Rockford Fosgate. Should be decent if anything.

I wouldn't even mess with the doors as I dont really think they add that much if you've got decent bass.  In that case, it's really just another amp you have to power.  I would look at some of the better quality but less well known brands.  They don't mass market, but they are higher quality and 9/10 times cheaper.  Try taking a look at Adire Audio, Ascendant Audio, Sound Splinter, or Resonant Engineering.  All of them are pretty decent price wise but the ascendants I had in my car would outpound a JLW7 13 in the JL designed box according to the meter at a competition at our track.  That's using the same JL 2000/1 amp in the same Grand Prix.

i totally agree....a friend of mine is obsessed with using no name brand stuff and doing some impressive stuff. hes built some pretty amazing sounding systems out of that kind of stuff. dont ask me though, ive got no clue ;)
