Cool Jl audio

I was thinking of doing a complete jl audio setup on my 00 camaro. Thinking about the c2-650 or the c5-650. Does anyone know if they will have problems with fitment? Tweeter locations? Suggestions and pics would be helpful, thanks!

Would you consider kicker to be better? Rockford Fosgate?

Kicker > JL for speakers in my opinion. On the flip side, I prefer the sound and look of JL subwoofers (if you're going to buy some.)

According to Crutchfield, 6.5" speakers should fit just fine.

I have JL speakers and Amp in my Civic, in there for 4 years and I Blast them. Some people don't like them because of the price....but JL makes a Very Good Product however they are not a sponsor here so read into it what you may.

JL is better than Rockford and Kicker for subwoofers and speakers (period.), and about equal to RF for amps.

There is no one best brand for car audio. There is no reason to stick with one brand. I suggest you give us some goals and a budget and we can recommend some equipment based on those.
