JL is overpriced for the results it gives, Rockford is a good company they used to be going downhill but have really stepped up the past few years, especially their amps. Power Acoustic is alright, nothing special though. It depends on what you are trying to achieve with a system, if you are looking for just pure bass (spl) I would look into www.reaudio.com , if you are looking for more of a sound quality type of bass (sounds good) Look into Diamond Audio. For amps look at Hifonics, very good amps for the buck. If you have any other questions feel free to email me at munkyhead2_16@yahoo.com Let me know a budget and I will see what I can come up with.

Out of those three companies and based off of experience (installing and what I've owned), I would have to go with JL. Sure it's gonna cost a little more but the output is worth it. Go with the W6v2 or the W7. We did an install a while back on a 2000 Chevy crewcab, we put 4 12in W7 subs, 4 JL 1000/1 amps, JL Evo ZR component speakers (front/rear), 2 JL 300/2 amps, an Eclipse AVN7000, all Tsunami wiring/parts (wires, rcas, capacitors, distribution blocks, etc), and 3 Deka Intimidator batteries. He also had gotten a HO Alternator installed. Now I know this is out of damn near everybody's spending limit, but this is for illustration purposes only. After we were done this truck sounded amazing. Great mids highs and lows. But as for the subs, we went to Best Buy and he parked in the last parking spot away from the entrance and cranked it up (playing so olskool DJ Magic Mike) and it was vibrating the doors to BestBuy, NO BULLSHITTING!!!

There really is no "best", only preference, as you can see.
The best advice you can get is from your ears.
Go to a pro audio shop and grab a listen. Only you know what sounds good to you.
Some of the better shops will demo a system in your car so you know what your getting.
Be ready to spend about $500 and up depending on what you pick. To make the SUV "shake", bump that number up to $1000 and up.

Rockford= take alot of power, good bass response, require huge boxes, amps dont produce accurate power rates, singal is ok
JL = Power hungry, cleaner signal, great response, require very strong boxes, better perfomance. 5-10 years if treated correctly.
Amps can be loaded lower than 1 ohm stable!
Power Acoustic = amps boast clean power, good rating systems, not the best amps to use with high power systems,
subs really weak, distort easily, not a real competitor other than everyday systems
