I believe I may have over researched this topic and now cannot make up my mind; a little help would be appreciated.
I want to replace the 6.5 factory speakers in the doors of my Frontier. I already have tweeters (Factory) on the pillars, so I am looking at coaxials. I listen to basic rock music and would like loud and clear (Bass is not the most important thing). I am keeping the original head unit which is rated at 100 watts. All I want to do is replace the 2 door speakers. I will be putting Dynamat Xtreme speaker pads in the doors.
I have looked at Alpine, Sony, Pioneer, Kenwood and Infinity. My budget is about $100-$120. Which brand and models would you all suggest. I want to buy NOW. Also a reputable and low price online company suggestion(s) aould be appreciated.
Thanks!

Look no more!. Here's a product well above average in performance and value. A bit higher than your budget noted... but still 50% of normal cost due to a paint flaw: Both are on sale for $149.95, but usually list for $260.00/set. One of the best component sets and crossovers out there too.

I would pull the original speakers and or test the impedence on them before you purchase anything. EOM upgraded systems like to use strange impedences to prevent you/us from tampering with them. Bose for example uses a 2 ohm speaker, infinity can vary as well. If you swap out the speakers for a different impedence it could just sound bad, or it could do damage to the system or speakers......
