Amplifying OEM speakers might seem a little nuts, but, the power from a deck is so unclean, that it can even help the worse speakers........ or blow them up if you're not careful.

Or, since you already have 6X9s in the back, even if you don't have speakers up front for now, wait it out. You'll still have sound at least.

Well i consider my deck pretty powerful (50x4, 27rms/channel) so powering 15W speakers (that's what im running now), isnt a problem, and the quality from the deck is great (Pioneer Premier deh-p780mp). so i think i might get some cheap speakers, i know its kinda waste of money but if i wont blow them i can always sell them at the end for 50% at least. and if i could borrow some from someone i would definitely do that :], just there is none available. unfortunately none around me even uses components, they all get coaxial. Thank You all for helping me out, ill take a look at all speakers you guys recommended and after i choose and get them working ill post them and how they perform. Thank You again, Cheers Luke

Consider putting together your own component set. Maybe some Peerless mids paired with a Seas Prestige Tweeter? I have the 8" big brother to the Peerless mid and it's fantastic for the price. I also have the Seas tweeter and can fabricate the chamber for you for nothing (one time offer). I spent several days testing different size and shape chambers and taking real measurements before settling on a design. At that time Solen had around 200 in stock!

Point being, you're not confined to the overpriced stuff on the car audio market. Of course you will have to put together a crossover for them but that wont cost much if you assemble it yourself. Even if you don't they are not expensive. Any car audio shop worth it's weight in dirt can sell you the right caps and coils at no extra charge for the calculations (they have software for this purpose). However, the biggest bonus here is that you can (should) bi-amp later if you choose to do so.
