Complete System
Some yes, some no.
I know some companies like Alpine include a 5x7 to 6.5 mounting plate for a complete plug and play install. For some companies/models, you have to trim a tiny bit of the plastic surrounding the speaker though, which is very easy and well worth it to get the 6.5" woofers in the doors.
Polk HT setup...
specs?

As for the HT I'm running RTi6's up front and RTi4's for the surrounds, a CSi3 for the center and the PSW303 sub. I'm thinking I might start looking for a PSW505 to get a little more low end. All that is running off a Denon AVR-1906.

If you are willing to spend a little bit of money, you can have the "factory" look with an in dash tv/dvd/navigation, once again depending on what budget you are looking at. But with the JL Cleansweep on your factory HU you will be able to run crossovers.
As far as components, I have a set of the old school (1996 range) Boston Acoustics Pro Series, the ones that supposedly run at 400 watts RMS at 3 ohms, 5.0's in the front and 6.0's in the rear, and they are the cleanest components i have heard. Even running a low quality audiobahn amp on those they scream loud and clear. You cant go wrong with Bostons, MB Quarts, Focals, or JL. And to my knowledge, all of these come with crossovers, but please correct me if im wrong. But people love to overcharge for this stuff.
Its good to be a firm believer in the saying "you get what you pay for" when it comes to car stereo IMO.

But there are exceptions, many of them. The PG RSD components can be had for 90 bucks and compare to $300+ systems.
The JL W7 goes for well over 500 bucks. The Stereo Integrity Mag that comes out this summer is going to go for $250 SHIPPED and will plaster the JL. Many other woofers that cost less will outperform the W7.
For many of us on a budget, these "exceptions" pay off big time. I'm one of these people.

Haha i'm on one of those budgets, if it wasnt for good deals and knowing people, I wouldnt have that stuff. But if i can find something cheaper that will beat JL's clarity and volume...i'll jump ship in a heartbeat lol.
what ever is in your budget, and the amount of room you are willing to waste with bass

As far as the cleansweep is concerned - scrap it.
Pick up a RF 3Sixty.1/.2. These are much better for sound quality and will give you the ability to change individual frequencies as well as take out the factory EQ curve.

thanks Low e... im pretty sure that CleanSweap takes out the Factory Eq curve also.. thats one of the main purposes of these units... but i know you know what your talking about so im not going to argue.... i just figured since i was goin with ALL JL AUDIO might as well go Clean Sweap as well..
NSCU 05 FX4= can you mix different model speacker like that???

Sure, why not? The C5-570 a 5x7 speaker rated to 75w RMS, should be a perfect match to the 300/4.
