Coaxial speaker recommendations?

[jatyro91]

Hey everyone, first time posting here.

I'm very, very new to car audio. A friend of mine installed my first "system" about a year ago in May. Well, I finally managed to blow my speakers. All four of them. So, now I'm looking to replace them, but to be honest was never quite happy with the ones I have (not to mention my subs completely overpowering them). I honestly couldn't tell you the model. They were JVC's. Two 6.5's in the door, two 6x9s in the rear deck. They weren't particularly pricey and I just bought the first thing the guy at the audio shop recommended.

Right now, what I have besides the blown speakers are:

Stock Head Unit

Boss Riot R2000M

Two JL Audio 12" (W-series) in a ported box. (Bought it from the Audio place already in box)

4 Gauge Power wire.

I'm looking to replace the speakers now because they're blown and summer is coming up. Afterwards, will be saving for a head unit, and a 4-channel amp for them, so while they might not need to be too beefy for my stock head unit, I'd rather not have to upgrade them once I upgrade everything else.

I have a 2006 Chevy Impala LT. I mostly listen to Rap/Hip-hop and heavy metal, Hard rock at full volume. My budget is $140-$160 in total for both sets. And I need to be able to get them from amazon. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to buy, look for, brand suggestions? I am completely lost when it comes to anything technical so if possible keep it simple?

Thanks guys!

check out sonicelectronix and find some sets you like. Since you are powering them off the h/u for the moment,find sets with a high sensitivity

if running speakers off the h/u,i usually shoot for a sensitivity of 90 or higher.

The pioneers suggested are a good choice. But check out Sonics site. They have several to choose from. Good prices,fast shipping and Ive had nothing but poistive experiences with them

Alright, ended up going a little crazy and ordered the Pioneers that were recommended, along with the Pioneer FHX-720BT head unit and everything needed to install it. Hopefully hooking up the wiring harness isn't beyond my comprehension. Still no 4 channel amp yet, but it's a start.
