Need help picking speakers

[fns69ss 10+ year member]

I was needing some peoples input on what type of speakers to get. I drive a 95' 3000gt.

What speakers would you sugjest (6.5" components). I am wanting to spend around $175 (off ebay) for the front speakers. The 2 i have most been considering are the Infinity kappa Series or the MB Quarts. These speakers will be pushed by an Infinity kappa 64a amp. The amp is rated at 50W RMS x 4 @ 4ohms or 75W RMS x 4 @ 2ohms.

Then I need to replace the rear speakers (6x9"). On these i wasn't sure if it would be better to try and get some 6x8" components or stick with the actuall 6x9". Also what brand would you sugjest and should it be 2 way or 3 way. (i do have 1x 10" sub (300W RMS) and i am going to be expanding it to 3 10's very shorty). The 6x9's will be powered by the same amp as the 6.5".

Thanks for your responses.

If I were in your position, I would do the following:

Get the MBQ speakers...hopefully you are looking at Referance or Referance Premiums.

Get rid of the rear speakers...you don't need them. Take the money that was going to be for the rears and put it towards something else.

Bridge the 4 channel amp (assuming you already have it) and use it for the fronts. If you don't already have it, get a good 2 channel amp...ideally 100 rms x 2.

yea screw the rears. if you absolutely have to have it, just get a cheap set of coaxials. also doesn't this belong in the speaker section?

what is the difference in the MBQ reference and the reference premium.
