help me choose the right speakers, already have an amp

I am in the market for some quality 6.5" components and 6x9s. I already bought this alpine amp...

Power Output: RMS Continuous Power (at 12.0V, 20 Hz to 20kHz)
Per channel into 4 ohms (0.08% THD) ...MRV-F540: 50Wx4
Per channel into 2 ohms (0.3% THD) .....MRV-F540: 70Wx4
Bridged into 4 ohms (0.3% THD) ...........MRV-F540: 140Wx2
Power Output: RMS Continuous Power (at 14.4V, 20 Hz to 20kHz)
Per channel into 4 ohms (0.08% THD) ...MRV-F540: 80Wx4
Per channel into 2 ohms (0.3% THD) .....MRV-F540: 100Wx4
Bridged into 4 ohms (0.3% THD) ........MRV-F540: 200Wx2
Total Max. Power ...........................MRV-F540: 700W
Frequency Response ................... 10 Hz to 50 kHz (+0, –1 dB)
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (referenced to rated power) .......... 100 dBA

At first I thought of going all Alpine cause I also have a 10" Type R and MRD-M605 for it. But now I am consdiering other options as I undesrtand there are many more better quality speakers than Alpine Type S or R. I need some advice on which brand and model speakers to get that will be crystal clear and loud running off the amp I have. (tweets should be 1" to fit in mirror sails instead of the bose ones). And I need something more or less affordable. Focals for example are extemely nice as I heard but they're waay expensive. Any suggestions appreciated.

MB Quart components on eBay Stores are like $125 USD. They sound AMAZING.

What sort of budget do you have on speakers? Lots of options to choose from.

Not sure, I think reference, but they still sound mint.

Idealy I'd like to buy a set of $500 speakers for $5 That's what any normal consumer wants unless of course your wallet is too heavy to carry in your pocket if know what I mean. But I dunno I'd like to get best possible speakers somewhere around $300 cdn for both pairs.

the problem with US stores and ebay is that they charge about 2-4 times that actually costs to ship and plus duties and taxes after. So it's a principal thing for me not order from them. $135 + $50 + $25 + $20 (price,ship,duties,taxes). you see a price like $135 then add another hundred on top automatically.

I have the MBQ RCE-216 in the doors. Sounds pretty good.
In the rear deck i have pioneer 4-way 6x9's. and 2 15" cvr's.

I'd recommend more power. Use that 4 channel amp and Bi-amp the components. Get another amp for rear.
I assume you already have a sub and amp setup?
