JBL ms-165 vs Focal PS 165

Hello guys. I'm currently building a new system in my 2006 Chevy Silverado extended cab. I recently installed the Kenwood KDC-X997 HU. I have 2 8" subs in a box under the backseat. I have the stock speakers in the front door as well as the back door. I am powering these with 2 Phoenix Gold Octane R-4.0.2 channel amps that are 75 W each. I'm having a hard time deciding between these components for the front doors.
Hertz ESK165/$399, the Focal PS165/$399, and the JBL MS-65c/$299. (dealer prices)The problem is that there are no shops for me to listen to all of these in my town. Unfortunately it looks like I'm going to have to make this purchase sight and sound unseen and unheard. If anyone has listened to these I would appreciate any help or feedback you may have.
I plan to run the subs off one amp, the comps off the other, and the rear 4 by 6 off of the HU. I'll be listening to mostly classic rock and alternative.
