speaker suggestions please!

ok so i just bought a 2000 chev silverado ext cab 3 door, i know that it has 6.5 speakers in the doors and 4x6's in the rear..... my question is do i buy a 4 channel and run all 4 speakers off of the amp or do I only run the 4 channel bridged off of the front speakers and the rears off of the deck or buy a 2 channel for the the fronts and again the rears off of the deck or do i just scrap the idea of running rear speakers at all?............im willing to spend $500-600 on the front 6.5 components alone if that helps.....and i will be running an amp that will atleast give them the rms and will have a seperated amp running 1 or 2 subs under the rear seats.

I echo Ross. He has some nice ES Series comps for amazing price.

I would not use rear fill, and get a high quality 2-channel amp like DLS Ultimate A3, Zapco Reference or better, Arc Audio XXK or SE, Audison LRX or better with at least 150 wrms a side. If you have to have rear fill, and the speakers are not gonna muddy up the sound, then you could run it from the deck, and you could put bandwidth caps of like 300hz-3khz to the speakers.

Bought Eurosports off Ross as well, great transaction! And the Euro comps aren't too shabby, especially for the price.

what about the alpine type x SPX-13PRO 6.5 components or the type x SPF-17REF speakers?.........obviously the SPX-13PRO's are more money..........or what about even just the alpine type R SPR-17S or the SPR-17C........and the amp i was thinking about was the alpine pdx 2.150,the 4.100 or the 4.150

Alpine REF set is pretty weak in comparison to CDT ES. PRO is a good option, but will be pricier.
