well imo any component speaker should be hooked up to a amp.. powers the speaker better! a descent cheap set up would be type s. the type r are more base but the s imo have high end...what you should do is goto car audio place and look at component speakers, see which you like best.. whats you budget too?

focal by far are best components IMO but they cost $600.. well worth it if i had spare cash, Infinity Reference are great speakers, love their tweeter, infact if my S go out again im buying infinity Reference or im going all out with focal

def get an amp for them, they will sound much louder. thats if u have an aftermarket deck already, because it will be much easier to wire everything up. if u plan on keeping or have stock deck then just replace the speakers and see how that sounds IMO it will prob be an improvement but not much
a nice decent amp with everything you need will prob run you in the $150 mark after shipping/wiring
components wise, if ur looking to spend $$$ since u didnt give a budget like mentioned Focal's are a good option, so is Hertz
if u wanna stay with in reason, alpines, infinities, powerbass, polk, rockford fosgate
here is the site to get stuff from, usually pretty cheap and is where i get my stuff from

I'm running all type r speakers. Components up front and coaxial in the back hooked to a rockford fosgate amp rated for 986 amps peak. And two alpine type r 12s hooked up to a phoenix gold amp rated at 1000 watts. I've never had box problems and I've been running type r for almost 6 years. Plan on replacing my coaxial rears for a component set. They are affordable and have amazing round quality and output.

nice set up, keepin it all Alpine. i like that, only 1krms? need alittle more to bring them to life!
type R's are the best bang for your buck as far as main stream subs, i almost got 4-12s for my jimmy but went another route, im sure i would of been happy with them either way.
EDIT: meant 1krms*

My subs max out at 1500 so I'm barely meeting rms. Trying to find two matching 1k mono amps right now. They have been superb.

if so you want an amp that will do around 100rms x 4 @ 4ohms
if ur gonna run two sets of components u can put a speaker/tweeter/crossover on each of those 4 channels ^ ^ ^ ^

well depending on what you want your amp to do.. 2 channel or 4 channel amp.. here's choices
1) make your amp run your component speakers only and your aftermarket deck run the rear speakers
2) let your amp run both component /aftermarket speakers.. that will need a 4 channel amp if you dont know.
I am running type s right now as mention above and i am running 350watt amp to my component speakers and my aftermarket headunti(alpine btw) is running my rear speakers, than I have jl audio 1000watt amp to run my jl 10w3 sub.. its a nice set up, sub/ was most expensive out of my set up. 350 watt would do the trick, any other questions? feel free to ask, cause I have the set up your going with.
Edit: should also mention rear speakers are way over rated in our cars! you wont hear them at all, unless you use the back seat alot and want your friends or whoever to hear music..
