Components or Coaxial for the rear door?

I have a set of Alpine SPR-17LP coaxials for the rear doors, and a set of Alpine 17LS components for the front doors, but would I be better to just get another set of components for the rear?

No. Rear speakers aren't very "important"...no need to waste more money than necessary on them.

rear speakers confuse your soundstage. Instead of having your music coming from the front (as it should be) your sound gets pulled back, with your sound more focused around the middle of your car, making it seem as if the concert is behind you. Not very good.

save your money, leave the coax's in the back, it'll sound better in alot of cases anyway

In this thread I list what I have to work with (less the 9815 that got stolen last night). So feel free to suggest anything I may have missed, wiring options, mounting ideas and so forth. I planned to mount the tweeters in the A pillers, but would welcome any thoughts.
