Car Stereo System Question

Posted this on the Tech Board but thought maybe some serious music lovers would have some advice:
So if there are any car audiophiles on this board, I have a question:
I just bought a brand new F150 and the base audio system sucks. I went to a high end car stereo place in Metairie and the guy recommended this setup:
4 Focal flax series 6.5" door speakers
JL TW3 10" sub
JL Audio 5-channel amp
With parts and custom box and labor it comes to about $3000. That's a bit steep for my taste but I keep thinking of pulling the trigger. Two questions:
A. I'm not familiar with Focal. Is this setup worth the cash?
B. Would you recommend a setup similar but closer to $1500 by a shop in the NOLA area?

I'm sure you can get much better than 1 JL 10 for that price. You can buy two Orion 10's or two kicker competition 10's for cheaper than that. Orion is my personal favorite but they are harder to find. I think that place in Metarie has them.
As for the Focal Flax 6.5's I have never heard of them? I have these and I love them.
