2008 JBL replacement thoughts

Add me to the list of JBL-confused Taco owners. I recently bought an '08 with the JBL system and have been asking Dr Google lots of questions about upgrades which allow keeping the HU (for security). I'm at a point where I'm thinking it's better (ie: less hassle for not much more expense) to ditch all the door speakers, the sub (keep the enclosure), and the amp. I'm not an audiophile or DIY purchase/installation expert. My priorities are sound quality over volume, ease of installation, and price. After comparing specs and prices I'd replace with the following:

front door components, Polk Audio DB6502, 92dB, 100w RMS, 4ohms (already bought on a wicked sale, hence somewhat committed, $185Cdn = $142US)

rear door 2-ways, Polk Audio DB652, 92dB, 100w RMS, 4ohms (prefer to have match to component speakers, $98Cdn = $75US)

subwoofer, Polk Audio DB842 SVC, 84dB, 250w RMS, 4ohms (8"dia + shallow mount fits stock JBL sub enclosure, inexpensive + good reviews, $105Cdn=$80US)

amp, Pioneer GM-D9605, 5-channel, 75w RMS x 4 + 350w RMS x 1 @ 4ohms, class D, wired remote bass control f/sub, speaker level inputs (fits in current JBL amp location, class D = runs cooler in enclosure, $400Cdn = $305US )

Price, $788Cdn = $602US (plus wiring, connectors, sound deadener, speaker baffles, etc @ $250Cdn/$192US)

Please, let's hear/read opinions/options.

 

All looks good to me. Just be sure to check and double check to make sure all your wiring colors and locations at the amp are correct.

 

I tore out my JBL system and recently documented the thread. Actually for now I'm still running the JBL subwoofer, but it's on my amp.

Thanks for the heads up on your install thread, I'll check it out.
