Pioneer makes some decent 6.5's for $100 a pair that will do great off headunit power... The key is low RMS and lots of response which these have and you can't go wrong with a solid pair of coaxials on the cheap. Also must make sure crossovers are good and all.

I installed these in a buddy's car that had blown OEM speakers. These sound dang good off of little power.

look for the highest dB sensitivity rating you can find. I've seen some JBL's that were around 92dB.

Otherwise for budget friendly check out Powerbass on Millionbuy. I've installed a few sets of the $40 comps and they were surprisingly good sounding. Same with the $25 coax's.
