You will have problems with

A) Getting good bass and clarity from 6x9's on headunit power

B) Getting good 6x9's period

Most people go to 6.5 components up front and a sub in back. Grab a small amp.

I don't have the option of speakers up front, I could run an amp with the speaker if need be. If I went that way, what suggestions would you have...

If you want 6x9's go with Tang Band W69-1042j and give them about 200 watts each.

I believe those are subs.

Appreciate the suggestions, keep them coming...

I would strongly suggest amping them, they will not sound good or produce good bass off the HU.

That's funny, bought a pair for my hoopty. There the shitiest speakers I've ever had.

How about alpines line of speakers...

i swear by alpine and i have just an alpine cda 9886 headunit and type r 6.5 coaxials in front and i ran it directly off HU power for months until i installed a small alpine 4 channel amp and now those type r's scream and actually have bass and they also do NOT distort easily. and i have the factory 6x9's for the rear.

I have a rare set of DD 6x9 componets ...and I think they were the best ever made...but they were very pricey retail was close to $450 a set so there wasn't a market for that high end of a componet set...I'm getting rid of my set I had in my Tacoma for about the price range your looking at....here is a pic showing the motor compared to the stock JBL's I had in my Tacoma
