Best speaker setup for my head unit

[Matt J6]

I just installed a Pioneer AVH-x2600bt Double-Din Touchscreen head unit in my 2004 Ford Escape. I am planning on installing new 6x8 speakers in them (preferably 4-way speakers) replacing the stock speakers. I currently am in debate of what I should get and what would match right. Also if I should hook up an amp to these. Bass is not really an issue because I will be installing subs at a later point in time. I'm looking to spend at the most 300 bucks for all the speakers combined but if need be, I can go over. Any suggestions help. Thanks.

Anything over a 2 way coax is a gimmick. If you do not want to amp them its better to put a small amp on the stock speakers.

Its not that I don't want to amp them, rather I don't know which combinations of speakers and or amps would be ideal for the head unit.

I would suggest doing components. And for the $300 price range I would suggest just a good solid front stage
