Very nice choices ..I was going to recommend the JBL P660C also..I put a set in a friends 02 ford,and had to modify the opening, but was worth the effort,sounded great,with 50rms on them

anything cheaper with good quality?

anything cheaper with good quality?

Good Quality Components? NO! The ones I told you are entry level quality components, if you are lucky to find a local Hertz Authorized Dealer, maybe you can get the DSK's for under $130.00 that would be the same price for the JBL PC series that at 2 ohms it will draw more power from the amp to sound louder if you decide to go with a cheaper 4 channel amp 4x50 W

You may get the Polk ones for just over $100.00 on Ebay but for the extra $30-40 you will be getting way better sound.

Cheaper than those coax and better quality, I doubt you will find any, some of those are under $40.00 a pair.

If you really want to take it to the next level for $300-400, you can get a set of components that will sound like many $600-$900 that don't need a lot of power.

Let us know what you decide to get, just as a courtesy for the thread, many members just ask for help and advice, they get it, then disappear without telling us what they ended up doing, and that is kind of a lack of good manners.

so out of those speakers what would be the best to go with? I will be getting 4 most likely, or should i get different type speakers in the front and back? Send the speaker and amp that would work the best.

That would be cool if you post pics, if you go with the JBL, no need to get 4, just one for the front, the cheap coax I listed was based on your limited budget originally, if you don't mind spending $75-85. Get a matching set of coax for the rear the P series. The reason you don't put components in the rear is because, you want a good front stage, the sound is for the driver and front passenger, the rears are fillers and you will not hear them much, also the nice thing about those p series is you can turn rotate the tweeter to hear them better.

Also installing components is a pain in the a** ( extra wiring, and time to install). You could probably save a bit of money if you go with the JbL coax that have the titanium silk dome tweeter.
