JL audio JLC5650

I have a decision to make..i went to andre's car audio today pricing out component sets. Came across Hertz, now i don't know much about Hertz and i'm having a hard time finding reviews on them.
i was looking at the HV 165XL component set, i did not listen to them on the board, they list in the store for $1000+, he told me i could get them for $600ish.

Then i went to Visions and spotted JL's line of components, specifically the C5650 as they were close to the same instore price.. he also told me he would sell them to me for $600ish, plus a JL 300/4 amplifier for another 600 ($900 instore price).

Now i dont know what to do lol..all this is going into a 89 honda hatchback. and is by no means an Audio show car. i just want a very nice sounding system for everyday. What are you personal opinions on JL's C5 650's versus hertz's HV 165XL.

I have lots of ideas for you. I like to stick to items that I know have a highly predictable outcome as well. Add me to msn if you like, forbidden at telus dot net and message me, it is way easier to talk in real time. Short list Morel for speakers right away. www.morelhifi.com

The Morel Tempo speakers are in the mid $350.00 range and provide for stunning results. Tonally accurate, incredible build and great value. Here is a link to them for you to have a look at them. Lots of proprietary technology locked up in Morel.
