I have just done that and the JL Audio speakers at $1100 sounded worse than cheap JVC's at $149. My personal preference was for Hertz HSK - very good bass response.
I ended up buying Hertz copies from ebay - $130 delivered - and they are very well made and you can not tell them apart form the real thing
youre right about getting speakers which you personally prefer.
BUT, i disagree with you 150% about the hertz speakers. Im running GENUINE hsk 165s front stage in my liberty with focal polyglass splits in the back doors.
my mate also has the fake HSK hertz speakers which i installed for him, not even margianally close to the real deal. The bass these things can produce almost takes away the need for a sub.
With capacitors Bantum, theyre really only useful when youre running well over 1000W RMS. You can get a bigger battery(which youll need anyway) and the capacitor is useless.
If youre serious about the sound your getting, id recommend dynamatting your doors. The PDX series of amps youre looking at are fairly high end and its worth going the full hawk if youre using really good gear. I cant recommend alpine amps highly enough, the quality youre getting, even if theyre not overly cheap is great.
This is how i dynamatted up my Hertz speakers...bits everywhere i know, but its all about getting it as sealed as possible.
