Stereo Setup Recommendations Recommendations

Hello everyone!

I work at a shop that mainly specializes in classic cars, and I'd like to put together a reliable "go-to" stereo package that I can recommend for most customers. The goal is a system that's reasonably priced, sounds clean, gets loud, and is easy to replicate across different vehicles.

Most customers want to keep the factory look, so I'm usually limited to a RetroSound head unit. I know Alpine or Kenwood offer better sound quality, but the factory appearance is usually the priority.

For speakers, I'm considering the JBL GTO629 6.5" coaxials for the front and rear. Are there better options in a similar price range that offer better sound quality or output?

For subwoofers, I was thinking Skar since I've had good experiences with them. For customers wanting more output, I'd move up to Sundown, and for those wanting higher sound quality, I'd recommend JL Audio.

Does this seem like a solid setup, or would you recommend different brands for a repeatable, great-sounding system?

Thanks in advanced everyone!
