Best $200 set of Mids/Tweets to run active?

[Disarmer 10+ year member]

I'm looking at running an active setup using a Pioneer AVH-X2700BS for crossing over. They will be powered by an NVX MVPA4 (50Wx4@4 ohms, 100Wx4@2 ohms). What mid/tweet combo would be the best to run in this setup? Budget is roughly $200 (less is better, a little more is reasonable).

Second question: I've never run an active setup... these would just be each speaker on their own channel, right? How can I be sure I'm running correct power to the mids/tweets if I were to just buy a component set (Since they're usually rated for the speaker combo being used with their xover)?

Thanks for any advice.

EDIT: It'll also probably be paired with a sealed 8" Sundown SD-2 at a later date.

Im just getting into running active so havnt had much experience so keep that in mind. Anyways, i just got 2 silver flute w17 6.5s to run as my mids. There not in my car yet but im currently listening to them running off my home reciever and... omg probably the best, cleanest, warmest 6.5 i have ever heard. and the only $35 each but People compare these to speakers costing 10 times as much and i must agree. With the 200 price range i would def recomend these as the mids. Cant comment on how loud they can get as my reciever is cheap and not powerful at all but there not distorting or losing and sq maxing out volume on the reciever. Oh and also this just running them full range too no tweeter or crossovers and they sound ******* awsome i just want to sit hear and keep listening to music now lol

I run 2 sets wired at 2ohm each to my amp "active" crossed at 3K+ with a 6db slope and I hear ***... Some will say having 4 tweets is not needed but from my experience I knocked out a home run back in the days when I built the system. I have used a SD100.4, DB A7, ED 9.4 and a ZRS C-4 all on exact setup just amp swaps... But all starts with a GOOD HU. With that you can make decent sound great.

If interested I have a pair of those seas in swivel mounts as spares "unused" if wanted. Also have a pair of flutes "used" but wrk as new one has a dented dustcap nothing more.. Bought these as backups but I have never had to use them... For a mate ill let all 4 go for $65 plus shipping... That's the price of just 1 tweet much less 2 and 2 silvers...

Thanks for the suggestions guys! Since these are going in a newer Jeep Wrangler, the mids will be mounted in pods in the front of the dash. The pods are just above and to the left of the drivers knee, and above/right of the passengers knee. They are sealed plastic pods that just mount behind a grill in the dash. I planned on dynomatting the inside and outside of those pods, as well as filling with some polyfill. The tweeters will be mounted off-axis in the stock tweeter pods on top of the dash. Is there anything else I can do to make this install sound better in these locations?
