All new Speakers, need advice!

[Blz1n]

Hey everyone, I'm going to be getting all new speakers in my 2000 Chevy Blazer 4-door. When I bought the car, all of the speakers were blown. It has two dash speakers, 4" x 6", two front door panel speakers, 6-3/4", and two back door panel speakers 6-3/4".

Before I go and spend money on speakers I want to be sure I am getting the correct size, depth, as well as quality speakers for the money. I am on a tight budget so money is a huge concern, please take that into consideration. I will list what I have thought about getting and I would greatly appreciate if you could provide me with any suggestions, advice, etc...

Dash Speakers: Boss CH4630 - Boss CH4630 - 4" x 6" Speakers - Sonic Electronix

Front Panel Speakers: Kenwood KFC-1779ie - Kenwood KFC-1779ie 6-3/4" 2-way Car Speakers

Rear Panel Speakers: Kenwood KFC-1779ie - Kenwood KFC-1779ie 6-3/4" 2-way Car Speakers

Head Unit: Kenwood KDC-MP342U - Kenwood KDC-MP342U (kdcmp342u) - Car Stereo In-Dash Receiver at Sonic Electronix - Sonic Electronix

Based on the products I would like to purchase, will the speakers fit, will the depth be correct? How will my quality be? All suggestions/advice is greatly appreciated. Also, should I install myself with very minimal experience or should I take it in to a shop?

Thanks for all the help.

I hope it sounds nice, I plan on getting subs and an amp about a month after the subs and deck. Any suggestions on installation, do it myself, pay the ridiculous price that Best Buy, Car Toys, Ultimate Electronics asks?

don't worry about the 4x6s or the rear speakers. Put this comp set in the front PHOENIX GOLD RSD65CS 6.5" Component Speakers RSD 65CS - eBay (item 110576200806 end time Oct-19-10 18:16:34 PDT) and use the money you saved on not buying the other speakers to get this 2 channel NEW Phoenix Gold RSd250.2 Car 2-Channel Amplifier Amp - eBay (item 360306268486 end time Oct-31-10 21:47:36 PDT) thos will sound a ton better than coaxials on HU power

-All the speakers in the car are blown, if I dont get the dash or reer speakers I have a feeling I will still hear the annoyance of the rattling stock speakers. Although, I do like the speakers you linked, if I got two sets, that would be awesome. I havent done any installation on a Chevy Blazer, only on a 1997 Camaro. Problem with the Blazer is the entire door panel has to come off, not to mention disconnection of the power locks & windows. The amp you linked seems fairly week, is 250 watts enough to power two 12" Kickers?

personally i would go with this amp

MB Quart DSC 450

that way u have room to upgrade later

that mb quart is a good amp too, but I was talking about using the amp to power the comp set not subs. To avoid hearing the rattling blown stock speakers just pull them out completely
