I've heard of them, but I am no expert.  I used Crutchfield on a few
occasions and most recently when I did a new install on Gringo a few months
ago.  They guarantee everything, offer free harnesses, etc and will send you
a replacement if the original is somehow damaged.
I have the Polk DB 6.5 speakers with crossovers and tweeters in my doors and
they really kick with the JL 360W amp. I also run some Blaupunkt 4.5 in the
doors straight from the receiver for midrange with bass filters on them.  I
was going to install a shallow sub under the rear seat, but have not got to
it yet and may not do it since these are working well.  I also soundproofed
the doors prior to install.

***I would suggest the couple of extra bucks for the baffles to install
behind the speakers for water proofing, just in case.
Good luck.
