Default Speaker Recommendations

I'm looking for a nice setup for my 92' 240sx Coupe, I don't need it to rattle my liscense plate but I do want something with a little bass just from the speakers. Not really set on a price range, but I don't want to spend $200 on a set of door speakers. Sometime in the future I will also be grabbing either an 8" or 10" Bazooka tube to add a little bass to the car. Any recommendations, or dis-recommendations would be appreciated!

On a side note, this is the head unit being used.

LOOKING FOR RECOMMENDATIONS ON SPEAKERS, NOT SUBWOOFERS!

JL Audio w3 all the way. I have one 10 inch and everyone thinks it's 2 12's. It's got enough to beat out the average, but you can turn it down and enjoy it at a normal level.

When I say speakers, I meant speakers as in door / rear speakers, not speakers as in subwoofers.

Focal. Its pricey, but its mine and many others favorite for sound quality. Some of the higher end MB Quartz aren't bad either.

For less money, Infinity's or a JL component set.

JBL is junk, stay away.

I've heard a lot of people say good things about JBL. What about Polk Audio?

Ok well I've known a lot of people using JBL and they sound great. I don't have specific series though.

VADA9 has a little shameless behaviour in the past

Focal is by far the best components i have ever owned. if you get a set of front components and nice size rears and power them, trust me that is all you need!
