Alpine type R 6x9s, and Alpine type R 6.75" coaxials in the front, or separates if you want the tweeters in the dash instead. your call.
I'd also recommend putting a 4 channel amp on these speakers for the best results in sound. it'll really bring them to life.

The above Alpines definitely are good options BUT more expensive, so here is something cheaper, I wouldn't go cheaper than this:

If you want me to recommend cheaper I will.

yeah I forgot to mention the JBL speakers will be cheaper, but if yoou do want the Alpines, check Amazon or google shopping for the lowest price. you can find them well under MSRP with a little work.

i knew id get reccomended speakers higher than my stated budget.... figures. I must admit though... i pretty much raged when I saw wolfs first post. Im not looking for a total budget of $400 for type r's or $150 for the jbls . I stated $100.So obviously yes, I would want you to reccomend cheaper, otherwise I would have stated i wanted speakers within a $150 budget.

if you want cheaper than Type R, go with Type S, or cheaper yet, Type E speakers.

Joe, did you realize that that listing is for one speaker only and not a pair? Also It's refurbished.

They are being sold by the manufacturer (harman audio) so I wouldn't care (and don't think it's one either but yes he'd need to ask). Anyways:

OP you can get them here also for $3.x each more:

http://www.amazon.com/JBL-GTO628-6-5-Inch-2-Way-Loudspeaker/dp/B003KN2TEY

You can also get one of these:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Pair-Alpine-SPE-6000-2-Way-6-5-Car-Audio-Speakers-24 0-Watts-/300705563252?pt=Car_Speakers&hash=item460372c274

And one of these:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ALPINE-SPE-6090-TYPE-E-6-X9-CAR-SPEAKER-CAR-AUDIO-SPEAKE R-2-WAY-COAXIAL-SPE6090-/110870183978?pt=Car_Speakers&hash=item19d060c02a

For $100.98 IF that's not too much to pay.
