Default need sugestions

hi,

I just bought an 06 saleen s281 3V and will be upgrading the sound system and was just wondering what you guys think would be the best speaker set up...here's what I got so far to install:

JVC KD-AVX11 HU
2 10W3V3-4 JL audio subwoofers
JL 500/1 amp

I was thinking about getting the Rockford fosgate 6x8 T1682s components for the front and RF T1682c for the back.

Thanks

Not because they don't make quality stuff, but because there dollar to product ratio is terrible.

They over charge and over hype ever gadget and gizmo they make.

The bullit points above are the key to setting up a great stereo, especially the budget.

JL is great if you can get it at cost or slightly above cost, but it is still very poor for $/benefit.

Word...

If you can take back the JL stuff, we can get you much better for the money. JL is great equipment just really overpriced.
