Default Recommendations for speakers and amp

Stock system currently, 02z. I have the sub corner box with 10" JL sub.
Will do a double din, and a 3 way component system for the doors, no rear fill, and an amp. I am looking for something that will be clear and accurate, not blow the doors off. I have read good things about Focal and ARC, but never owned any. What would be a good speaker amp combo for this setup, that wouldn't break the bank?
Thanks

Yes, he will be on my list to contact, once I have it narrowed down more as to what I want. I would like to have some recommendations to compare to first, and that will help me decide what it will cost.

I want to spend $50 and get a $100 rebate. lol j/k

Thanks Dennis, I will look at the items you listed. I really don't have a specific $ in mind, I just want to get the most for my money and be happy with it. I like high quality but with good value. I don't mind spending more if it returns a big % increase in performance, but I know you get into diminishing returns at a point. I will get in contact with you once I get closer to purchasing. thanks
