Hatchback setup for $450... Help please

[Souljah8574 10+ year member]

Haven't been on here in a while but I recently just purchased a 1996 Civic Hatchback and all the speakers are blown, haha. Straight to the point tho, I want to place speakers and an amp in the car for about $450. I've been looking around and I'm leaning towards the PG RSd comps for both the front and rear. I'm wondering is there anything else that I can get where I'll be able to put an amp to (included in the $450) that will have decent sound stage. Or can anybody recommend a set of comps that I can place in the front that will suffice for SQ where I won't need to purchase a rear set. The front fits 5.25" - 6.5" and the rear is 6.5" or 6x9s. Kinda looking to spend $200 on speakers and $250 on an amp for em. I can get the PG's online for about $180+ shipping on eBay. Bring on the suggestions for this set-up.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Go to Progresive auto sounds in Aiea and listen to the Rainbow SLC line. Pioneer TS comps has been getting quite a buzz lately and is another possibilty lately.

I'd just go with a nicer front component set and a good amp to power it. Forget the rear fill..

deadener

second skin deadener for the front doors, set of components like TS-D720C or the Precision Power everyone seems to like, and a 2 channel amp.

Thanks for the help guys, due to the hype I went with the PPI's and I only dropped $170 for em shipped. For the amp I went with a Hifonics Titan 2 channel and the speakers are going to see about 120-150 watts per side depending how much they seem to be able to handle without too much stress. Now to find a substage and amp to match nicely.

I'm looking for a SQ 12" that'll hit the deep bass but still be punchy and clean. I also don't want something that'll be drowned out by the comps up front. I'm willing to drop $250-300 on a sub, mind you I'm not going to do any electrical upgrades.
