Question Choosing New Speakers

I am looking to replace the factory speakers in my Toyota Avalon, which are component 4".
I am looking to spend around $100 a pair (nothing too amazing).
They will be running of head unit power for a while (apx 22W rms X 4).
I was looking at Kenwoods 1080ie's because I can get a deal on them. Any suggestions?

Im pretty sure he knows he can save up the money and then the sky is the limit. But he said:

I am looking to spend around $100 a pair (nothing too amazing)

So in the $100 price range IMO the Infinity's are on top of the list.

Why people insist on telling everyone to get the worlds best equipment is beyond me. Not everyone wants to dump hundreds or thousands of dollars into a system.

Question

Ya, I have already dumped thousands in, but I don't need anything amazing as far as speakers go. I am not trying to win SQ comps, I just want to upgrade the factory speakers which sound like crap. I listen mostly to rap, so the thump in da trunk is my main concern and that has been taken care of!

"save your money and get a good pair...and then save your money and get a good install....that would be my suggestion"

Its not like I don't have money to spend there are just other places I rather put it. But how much would a "good pair" cost and how much would a "good install" (I assume this consists of kickpanel fabrications) cost, and what would you recommend in this case? Thanks for all the help!

Question

Does anyone have any other suggestions or opinions on the Infinity REF 4012I? I am flexible on my budget if there is a big step up in value or quality within a couple hundred bucks. However, like I said I don't need anything too amazing, but I don't mind spending if its worth it.....
