RE: YAY! New sound system!
Component speakers will replace your full range coax speakers. They consist of a 6.5 inch woofer (not sub woofer) two tweets and two crossovers.
An extremely clean system is really dependant on the budget. You can get a good entry level setup for less then $500, it really depends on what you really want to spend. If you look at the info section you can see a lot of the brands we will recommend and they might suprise you.

You can get a nice little set for $150 or less. CDT has some great sets out there that cannot be beat for that price.
YEs you remove your stock speaker and put the mid-woofer in place of that speaker, you can mount the tweeter in multiple locations. In the same place as the mid-woofer, in your A-pillar, in your door. Wherever works best for you, and you mount the crossover anywhere you can, some mount them in their doors, I have mine mounted behind my kick panels.

And, also, would my Head unit be able to handle powering the component system?

If you really really like the way JBL comps sound, you should get them. If you want to listen to those that are more experienced in car audio, we can make recommendations based on what sounds good to us.

I just liked the thought of a full JBL system. But, I'd rather get something that sounds better than have a full brand system that doesn't sound that good.
.. so, reccomend away, my friend.<3
[I would like to spend like... 250-350....]
And what's gunna power this? The head? I'd hate to sound like a broken record, but will the head be able to support the tweeters and woofers?

Here is a little budget setup.
Fronts: http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?...roduct_ID=5207$99
Front amp: http://ikesound.com/product-product_id/2839$55
Sub: http://www.edesignaudio.com/edv2/pro...products_id=31(Dual 5 ohm) $100
Sub Amp: http://ikesound.com/product-product_id/2840$70
Wiring and Box: $40
Thats around $350 and will be great for the money, however, I would spend a little more on your front speakers and if you can budget a couple hundred more dollars, you can get better amps as well.

Willing to spend about $350 bucks on the front.

To answer your un-answered question. No never run your front stage of a headunit.
If you have $350 for a front stage, ES-610's would be great, but you need an amp as well so...
Something around $200 for the component system and $150 for the amp would be my suggestion.
woofersetc.com find the $200 set of CDT's you like, and I would say a Profile amp would work fine.
Dems aint no 5 ohm either dawg.

RE: YAY! New sound system!
LOL I caught that too.
Can you get JBL 4channel amps also? If so, post the model numbers you can get. That is basically so you can balance out the sub amp aesthetically. No big deal in running two different branded amps. I like to keep the amps the same company though. And I would keep your sub amp, but get one better sub, rather than your two lower-end subs.
Quick question, why didn't you come on here and ask this stuff before you bought??? Kinda like the saying..."measure twice, cut once". You should have "asked twice, purchased once".
Don't worry about it though, we've all been there at one point (including me and I'm in the process of re-doing my COMPLETE system at the moment).

Uhh... I got the subs I wanted? I didn't want 12" or bigger... I got the ones I wanted, they aren't "lower-end subs."
The product number on the subs are "GTO1002D" I think they're perfect for what I want, but if you wanna call 'em "lower-end" be my guest.
As for the amp,
CS60.4 ($96)
GTO 75.4 II ($165) [What I have]
PX300.4 ($243) [Too expensive]
Those are the ones I can get my deal on.
I wasn't really asking for help for my sub system. I'm happy with what I bought. I just wanted to get some advice on the rest of the system.
