Help me build! 2012 Camaro 2LT RS

[BreakingBad]

So I've been in the stereo/system 'hobby' for almost a decade at this point. I haven't really invested much money in speakers as I have subwoofers, and I am seeking to change that. I recently sold my 05 TrailBlazer that had an RE XXX 18 in it for my new Camaro. I love bass, it adds depth to music and is an absolute necessity for me.

I'm probably going to go with this head unit:

New Car:

2012 Camaro 2LT RS - Walk Around - YouTube

Old System:

RE Audio XXX 18" - 1500w - YouTube

So, you see where I'm coming from...

My goal: Loud, Clear, Crisp system that will sound good no matter what type of music is played. If it's ambient-type music like Atticus Ross I want it to be so loud and clear you can hear every instrument, but at the same time if I switch to some jeezy or 50 I want to be able to hit the lows with ease. Midbass is very important to me, so speakers lacking decent midbass will not be considered (doors and trunk will be sound-deadened)

Front Stage: I keep hearing Hertz. Hertz this, Hertz that - particularly the HSK165's/XL. This is in my price range, but I'm not sure if there is something from FOCAL that would compare to these as well (6.5 components). Recommendations welcome, better if you've heard them/have them.

Rear Stage: 6x9's. I have absolutely no idea where to begin, but I would like to match the front stage with the rear stage brand-wise.

Subs: Looking to go with 2 12's, probably sealed (yeah, loss in SPL but sound quality also usually goes up)

2 Fi BL's

or

2 RE SE-X's (or similar)

These brands have consistently good reviews, and on WoofersETC the prices on the RE models have dropped since 07 (thank god!) If you have any experience with the Fi BL's (12's) or the new RE series (like the *** model line or something similar), chime in. Keep in mind I ran an XXX 18" for 4 years.

Price-wise, I'm not spending 2 grand on 1 set of speakers. I'd like to keep the cost under $1000 for both front and rear stage, with more $$ being spent on the front stage. Flexible.

So, let's see your recommendations!

I don't really care for any Hertz speakers below the Mille line. Same with Focals below KRX.

This is a setup I'd love to run:

Fronts: Image Dynamics XS-65 (XS 65) 6.5" 2-Way Component Speaker System

Rears: Image Dynamics XS-69 (XS 69) 6" x 9" 2-Way Component Speaker System

I wasn't convinced on ID products until I tried the CTXs and they really blew me away for the price. I'd trust ID to please at any price range.

Hmm, well the one video on YT some dude has them in his maxima or some **** and they are loud as hell even in the video...the 2 reviews on woofersetc are 5 stars...i refuse to buy from sonic electronix, they fucked me over $500 on a broken head unit they sold (which turned out was refurbished), so bad they have a negative review at the BBB by me and Visa instantly credited my card $500 when they realized what happened.

That said, these guys are on the decision table now. ~430 not bad.

Sonic is known for doing shady $hit like that. Fortunately for me, I live about 30 miles from the place so I actually pick my stuff up from their warehouse and inspect it on spot. Those ID's prince listed are really good. I'd recommend staying away from Hertz lower lines.
