JBL is not too bad but again it depends what series. Its difficult to simply say that one brand is better than another because most brands make entry level stuff and high end ($$$) equipment too. Also some brands a better known for good quality head units, other for subs or amps etc...
For example my ideal system (without going into specific models) would consist of something like this: Pioneer head unit, Soundstream amps, MB Quart splits and either Kicker or Cerwin Vega subs. Why? Because in my experience with systems these products perform well and have been doing so consistently for years. But again you can get cheap Kicker subs, which may or may not perform worse than other brands in the cheap catagory, or you could go for the higher end Kicker subs like the square Solo Baric series.
Another thing is that some brands are known for power and some for quality. In my experience I have found that Kenwood products have more 'power' but are not as clear as Pioneer.
