Default Need new speakers

I'm in the market for some new speakers and have no idea where to start. Currently have Pioneer GM-6500F 4-Channel Bridgeable Amplifier and Alpine CD Receiver CDE-136BT.


Any recommendations are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Stock speakers still (no additional rears)? With that amp unbridged I would suggest Kicker 40CSS654.

I believe the previous owner installed aftermarket speakers, but one of them is blown.

I just meant are you only dealing with two channels (i.e., left and right door speakers pairs). Speaker options for what that amp puts out bridged are limited, so stick with using just 2 channels of it.

Focal 165 AS could work, but that's a much more expensive and higher quality speaker, which would be wasted on that amp for the most part.

Thanks for the replies guys. I ended up getting Polk DB6501 - mid-range, tweeters, crossovers, and hardware included. (Also, it says 2-way component system, so I believe this is what you were referring to Fokker?)

I was wondering if a previous owner had installed some headrest speakers or speakers behind the seats since you had a 4 channel amp. Component systems such as those Polk will only be using 2 channels.
