I recently contacted a local installer and they put together a system for my 2007 Mustang that's all JL Audio equipment for approximately $3600, which includes all hardware and labor. This is a bit pricey for me and heard elemental designs was good, but I'm not sure what I need to buy exactly.

The quote they gave me was for JL 5x7s with seperate tweeters up front, 5x7's rear, 2 10W3 subs with enclosure and a 300/4 and 500/1 amp. I would like something comparable to this sound. I am more concerned with sound quality rather than huge bass. I listen to a lot of alternative and hard rock, so I don't need a sub like a 10W7. So basically i'm not sure which component speakers to order and which subs to order as well as the amps to replace my shaker 500. I already have a Clarion MAX675VD head unit with navigation brain.

Also if this helps, i'd like to keep the cost of these components at around $1500 or so or less if the sound is comparable to the JL Audio equipment. I'm willing to spend a bit more, but i'd like to get my total cost down including installation and labor to around $2500 total for the speakers, and amps.
