What comp. speakers should I buy?

[SixxOne]

I am planning on purchasing some new speakers to replace my stock ones. Right now I have a Alpine Type-R 12" powered by a MTX amp and it's fine. Also, I have a Pioneer (50x4) headunit which I want to run my component speakers off of. My fronts are 6 1/2 and I want speakers with a decent amount of bass, but also have good high and mid-range. For the rear, I want lots of high and mid range.

Basically (for people who don't like to read),

I want decent bass in the front, along with some descent mid-range.

In the rear, I want good highs and mids.

I WANT THEM TO RUN OFF MY (50x4) HEADUNIT.

I have about $400 to spend.

I have that much to spend, but I am looking for options. But I don't want to buy an amp. Help anyone? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

a component set wont sound all that great off of just HU power, they need more power than that to work well

that 50x4 rating is max rating anyway

With that $400 to spend get a decent set of comps up front($150-200), coaxials in the rear($50-100) and a decent cheap amp for the front with the rest and you will be MUCH happier.

Why be sorry? I would get a good comp set, like some morel or focal or even (hate to say it) Kicker and get an amp later. It will sound better than stock.
