bad- something was wrong with the paper work in order for me to get paid so now i dont get paid for 2 more weeks.

For sound I recommend getting a component set up front and then for the rears just use some midbass drivers. You don't want the treble coming from behind you much at all.
I really like my Kickers, and they were inexpensive. I paid $80 for a 6.5" component set, and then $30 for a set of slightly used 5.25" midbass drivers.
I used the 5.25" drivers up front with tweeters (already had them so I sold the kicker tweeters) and the crossovers the component set came with, and then the 6.5" drivers by themselves in the rear. It sounds great. I recommend it. The only thing you would really want to do different for your car is use 6.5" speakers all the way around (if you can... idk what fits your car) instead of 5.25" up front.
Oh and make sure you have the speakers all working with the correct polarity (not having the wires reversed). It makes a huge difference when they're all wired properly.

right now i have a pair of 10s and... no speakers
every pair of speakers i get just blow right away and i dont even have it that loud.
since my speaker wires are all the same color i cant tell when its reversed or not
