Help me choose budget 6.5" coaxial

I want to spend $60 or less on a pair of 6.5" coaxials.

They can be an old model, on ebay, etc, doesn't matter.

I was looking at a set of Infinity 6032cf that fitted my budget, purpose, but was wondering if anyone else had other suggestions or opinions.

This is going to be replacing my door speakers in my 08 Altima.

I plan to only power the speakers through my headunit, which is a Kenwood DDX-812, through the factory speaker wires. I already have a single 12" subwoofer in the back to give me good low end.

So my list so far is:
Infinity 6032CF for $60
Polk DB651 for $60
Digital Designs 6.5" Coaxials (new) for $66.
Kenwood Excelon KFC-X173 for ~$50
Morel Maximo 6.5" Coaxials for $80 + tax (a bit over my budget)

Opinions?

Thanks in advance!

They would be a LOT better with an amp, but in the end you usually get what you pay for. Out of those I've only heard the Morels, but I'd put my money on them as being the best of the bunch. Some think Infinities have harsh highs. Don't consider Kenwood if you can get DD's or Morel's.

More choices I found online...

MB Quart Discus DKH116 - $55
Alpine Type-S SPS-610 - ~$55


Does this change anything?

I know powering them through an amp would be awesome... maybe it's something I'll do further down the road.

Type S sound nice with or without an amp behind them, I have put them in other peoples cars but never my own. For the price I think there are a great value and are more accurate sounding then many others.
