This is simple.... 4x6" for the front's and and 6x9" for the rear pillars. For brands try Sony, Pioneer, Kenwood, or Blaupunkt.

Infinity makes good speakers, so does Polk. I have polk EX 6x9s and 4x6s. THe Polks have a better low and mid than the Infinities so if you aren't getting subwoofers they are a very good choice. Oh and about Sony, I am not sure I would put much faith in a company that sells their product in places like Walmart, that just screams poor quality. THey used to be great, think older ES stuff, but the new explode and ES stuff just isnt the same quality as the old.

heh heh heh... whats up is that ive heard both, and they're not even comparable.. most people advocating sony are comparing it to rockwood and kenford, and other neato brands like that, but have not actually listened to infinity or polk or any speakers of that magnitude. if you have, and you still like sony best, great! if you havnt, you should go to a stereo shop and listen to the two.. its a world of difference. plus, infinity speakers are generally cheaper than sony, have more power handling, and of course (to my ear at least) sound a lot cleaner.

oh, im glad you took that sony reply with some humor, rather than blowing up or something

well i will give you this. the sony speakers do blow. the ONLY thing of sony that i like are the top of the line head unit. but the best speakers that i have heard for high's and mid are the Memphis Studio Component line. best sound i have hear so far. only draw back is the price. btu i want the best i can get for my money so i'm willing to pay but not sure about other people

DID ANYONE ACTUALLY READ THE BEGINNING OF THIS POST? I'M PRETTY SURE THIS GUY WANTED A SET OF SPEAKERS FOR UNDER $100.00 DOLLARS. I KNOW INFINITY, MB QUART'S, POLK, ARE NOT UNDER $100.00. I had Boston Acoustics that I bought for around 100 bucks but they were only rated for 75w and did'nt sound all that good.

ehh.. crutchfield has 6x9 infinities for 120, and everyone knows crutchfield is outlandishly pricey.. you can get infinity speakers for around a hundred, or less

Go with Alpine or Infinity. If you go with Alpines you will need subs b/c that can't handle a whole lot of power, but they are very clear.
