Potential Setup, experienced audio members please drop knowledge on my face!

Ok I live in Atlanta and stopped in at two different shops. Both have good names and good history. The only difference between the two is one will sell me Focal, and the other Hertz. I have a feeling I want the Focal setup more, so I will share that with you and hope you can guide me with advice.

Kenwood DNX8120 [double din all in one unit]

Focal 165krx3 [3 way speaker setup 6.5" going in door, 3" mids going on top of dash in corners closest to windshield, tweeters going in pillars]

JL Audio 12w3v3-4 [12" sub going in rear hatch spare tire enclosure]

Alpine pdx-5 [5 channel amp going in rear hatch spare tire enclosure]

--------------------------------------------

My other option is going with the Hertz MLK3 3way system. I honestly think the Focal sounded better but it could have been the music playing on it or just that the sound board was better.. My questions are which speakers should I go with, and is my setup and placement ideal?
