need efficient and cheap coaxes for my wifes car. any suggestions?

i need 4x6 in the front and 6x9 in the rear to go in her 2005 grandam
she's not a bass head like me and they wont be amped. they just have to sound better than the stockies.
i'll be installing a (cheaper) kenwood head unit, so they need to be as efficient as possible to make use of deck power.

i was thinking about using lower level pioneer stuff. i can get the 4x6's for about $70 and the 6x9's for around $100.
i would prefer to spend less, but not get into the garbage walmart stuff

are the pioneers my best bet for cheap/effective?

you can get some actually decent dual speakers from wallymart that do sound pretty good on deck power. i put a pair in my friends truck and they sounded amazing for being 23 bucks and they have little led's in them so they can illuminate when the bass hits i thouhgt that was kinda cool.

also canadian tire and their cheap pioneers actually sound good too.

Pioneers would probably be a good match, for sure, I have always had pretty good luck with their entry-level speakers. I PM'd you also.....

before i even finished reading i was thinking of low level pioneer.

On my wifes old car, with a free pioneer cd deck, I cheaped out and got 6x9 & 3" coaxs from the liquidation store. 25 & 15 bucks. I wished i had spent the extra 100 for pioneers.

pioneer co-axials are great, as are the s-series Alpines with deck power.

i was thinking about the alpines but they are too much. i dont want to spend more than 200ish total for the fronts and rears.(alot less if i can get away from it, considering what they will be used for) i cant get the type s' for cheap enough.

i thought about going to marks, but the one guy there that always seems to help me (younger guy) is never helpfull, and those guys never give me any deals. but if i knew i could get both sets for $100 id just go to them
