Need help with upgrading stereo stuff. Is this a good package?

I have a B6 S4 with the regular (non-Bose) system. I went to a custom shop and here is what they recommended. I don't know sh*t about car audio and if these are even the right size speakers. I want to leave the head unit and replace the amp, speakers, and add a sub. I want it to look as stock as possible and sound tight, not bassy. Please help with any reccomendations, and yes I know this is the wrong forum.

Here is what they (Pacific Stereo-Fremont, CA) recommended:

Almani Component Speakers 5.25" (2 sets) =$150 each
JL Audio E6450 Amp =$700
JL Audio 10w3v2-d2 Sub =$200
Sealed sub box in trunk =$?
Whole package installed including parts =$1400 w/ tax.

I have never heard of Almani speakers.
Advice? TIA<ul><li><a href="http://www.almaniaudio.com/specs.asp?itemnum=AlS509">Almani Speakers</a></li></ul>

You can't go wrong with the JL's..especially the amp, but never heard of almani either.

It's kind of expensive, actually very expensive. Find what you want, then research the prices on internet etc...then just get the install done at a quality installer.

you should get 6.5" speakers for your car

havent heard of the speaker company either. you should do some research. jl is nice but you really pay a premium. you could get something just as good or better for the same $$
