Default picking a good brand for speakers!!

first of all, what is the size for the 2 front and 2 rear? are they both 6 1/2"(6.5") OR 6.5" front and 6 3/4"(6.75") rear? im just asking in general, im not quite sure about the individual model(too many out there). just an opinion!

I recently installed a set of Infinity KAPPA Components 60.5cs in the front and a pair of Infinity KAPPA 62.5i's in the rear. Both sets are 6.5's. My HU is only putting out about 22-25 watts RMS and these speakers can handle about 90-100 watts RMS and they sound great even though they are only hooked up to an aftermarket HU. I would recommend these.

Read my Signature. I'll third the Infiniti Kappa vote.

Oh, by the way, the Kappas LOVE power... you are probably UNDERPOWERING them with just the factory head unit, add an amp and they will sound MUCH better than they do now!

I have a Precision Power PCX-480 amp on the way. It should be here Tuesday for a weekend install. It is rated at 80x4 watts RMS. I was incorrect about my assumption when I bought the amp. i thought my kappas handled 90 and 100 wats for the 2 sets but I was wrong. One handles 90 watts and the other handles 75 watts. I guess I will not need to push them too much for risk of blowing them.

Sorry, never liked Alpine speakers, tho I used to love the headunits (use to...). Boston Acoustic speakers are the most well rounded I've heard.
