Personally, I'll go for the JBL. This leaves you more cash for your budget that you can budget for other components. JBL's local distributor is Perfect Circle of Banawe. You can purchase your needs directly through them or through their resellers (call them up with your location so they know where to point you to their nearest reseller).

On the otherhand, Rockford Fosgate's local distributor is Winterpine Marketing in Araneta Avenue. They're also the distributor of DLS and Kicker products.

Yun problema kasi for "budget" components is that there's not much difference in picking on them. 95% of the products uses either plastic polypropylene or paper in speaker construction and a metal/fabric tweeter for the highs. Between paper and plastic, usually plastic since it's low cost and easy to manufacture without much variation from driver to driver (for their QA). On the otherhand, paper is also low cost but more problematic (ex. they absorb moisture in the air so nagiiba tunog nila over time if untreated) for manufacturers.

Speaker selection shines once you start going for the 10,000php upwards. Dito nakikita mo na mga R&D ng mga speaker manufacturers such as Focal's glass/paper "polyglass" sandwiches, JBL subwoofer GTi's underhung motors with differential drive design, Morel's carbon fiber Rohacell sandwiches, etc. Aside from these meron din mga tweaks dyan-dyan like using more expensive neodymium over the common ferrite magnets, the use of aluminum voice coils and non-magnetic baskets, etc.

Do you need deadening? Not really but I do suggest it. Improvements differs from car-to-car kasi... but it might be a good idea for you to "experience" it. No harm there naman. You can backread the thread a bit on what deadening's benefits are.
