I have a 04 silverado and 2  12"IDQv.2's, the amps are a 500/1 for the subs and I plan to use either a 300/4 or 300/2 (which everone you guys recommend) for the Component set. My question is , which component set for under around $300 would be the best to go with those subs?  I was thinking either  jl xr650csi or the mb pce-216 which is best of those two? I'm also open to suggestion for other comp sets. Also what is a good headunit for this system? Is the pioneer 7600 good enough. Thanks in advance for the info!!

I have had bad experiments with JL comps so i would go with the MB Quarts...

I like the Jl comps alot, but the MBs I have found lack a little mid around 100-170hz.     I run Alpine Type R's still and have been very very happy with them

what is the better between these three,   jl xr650csi , mb quart pce-216 and Image Dynamics Chameleon CXS64?  Looking for the all around , more interested in smoothness and sound quality.

I think Jeff is right about the quart's, they are a tad lacking in midbass when compared to those JLs.
However, I think the ONLY thing those JLs do well is midbass. I strongly disliked JL's as they sounded very thin, uneven, and undetailed through the vocal portion of the midrange.
Midbass can be fixed, shoot.. cabin gain actually took care of that 100-170 for me to the point I actually notched a parametic band down a couple db there. Thin and sloppy midrange can't be fixed as easily.
I haven't had a chance to hear the ID components, but around that price range I like the higher end memphis or diamond drivers better than the JLs hands down. It was a close call for me between Memphis, diamond, and quart. I basically ended up picking quart just because of the coax mount capability.

I can get anything from either a/d/s or PPI or Orion and Directed for a really good price. I think I have decided for sure to go with the 12IDQ v.2 d4 for the subwoofer. I dont think any of those other companies make anything that has the sound quality that the IDQ does right? Also what comp set and amps would you recommend from those 4 companies up above? I want a 6.5 comp set and amps to run them and my IDQ's. And with the price I can get them at, the price doesnt matter. Thanks for the suggestions!

Many subs have better SQ than the IDQ. They usually cost at least $100 more though per driver. Many are either less efficient or aren't as small box friendly.
I'll let someone else field the amp question - I've never used those brands. My advice is to shoot for no more than the RMS rating of the drivers for the amps. Don't buy crap amps, set the gain correctly, and you should be fine.

Are the a/d/s 346cs a good comp set?  Also are the orion amps good? Also I'am still curious about the IDQ question from the post before?
