Goals for the system? Loud? Sound as good as possible? Pretty loud and not shitty sounding? You can do a lot with $2500. If you go with 13W7s though you'll be able to do alot less because half your budget will be tied up in the subs alone (assuming that you got them unauthorized).
I'd probably allocate my budget like so: $300 on HU (maybe a bit more if there are certain features that you want) $5-600 on subs (2 really good 12s in a ported box) $3-400 on speakers (best fronts you can get MAYBE rears if you have extra money) $6-800 on amplification and the rest on wiring, batteries, sound deadening and other install bits.
This is wise advice.......Do what this man says. Bang for the buck is wht is's about at 16. Look at cadence amps, cheap power there. The are many, many options for you not just JL.
