Default Speaker suggestions

I'm going to be upgrading my speakers here shortly, and I want some suggestions on what to go with.

I need four 6.5''. I want it to sound awesome. I will probably add a small box (10'' or 12'') to it later on, but for now what are some good speakers.

diamond d3 components. if its in a car, you dont need rear speakers. also these are 4 ohm so you can run them off your head unit without a problem.

infinity components are also a good choice. go with the kappa series at a minimum otherwise you won't get the power handling capability to expand in the future

I just got 6.5" infinity speakers installed in my car and it sounds great even with the top down on the highway. They were only like $85 for a set of two at bestbuy

Not really gonna recommend too many brands cuz there are quite a few good ones (MB Quart, Infinity, Polk Audio, Soundstream to name a few) I will recommend a set of 3-ways for the rear and a nice component set (6.5's, crossovers, tweeters) for the front. A good 4-channel amp to power these and you might not want a sub if you listen to rock. But a 10 w7 should suffice when the time comes. And defenitely dont cheap on the head unit it does make a HUGE difference, after all it controls everything. Alpine, Pioneer esp the Premier line, and Eclipse all make exceptional decks.
