Infinitis sound good.....so to Alpines. Ive had decent expereinces with pioneer, not the loudest or best sounding, but probably one of the best bang for your buck.

make sure you get a 6.75", not a 6.5". You can get a plain set of no frills Pioneers or Kenwoods for like $40 a pair. I have a couple Pioneers in my car and the $40 they do their job fine.

I like Boston Acoustics and MP Quarts. Expensive though. Infinitys are nice too.
MB Quarts? Mp? I don't know.

Back to the Pioneer thing - remember, rear speakers are just for fill, so you don't have to spend a lot to get the desired effect. Save more money for the fronts and maybe a sub setup, and your sound will be good to rock

I think Clarion is a big secert out there. Not the loudest but the best sound quality by far.

I have infiniti reference components in the front and I think 6.5 rear. (Havent checked the size, I just got the car) Wow paired with the Alpine deck it sounds pretty damn good with good bass and highs. Not too expensive either...

i put in a pair of 220w 2 way pyle speakers in my back, they were like 20 bucks or something and they are fine, anyways you can't really notice the back so much, the fronts are more important. So just put whatever u want to spend in the back :P

Those are the stock speakers. (at least in my S13)
Clarion is your base-line audio company. Buy something good like Pioneer.
Clarion is OK, but not really an upgrade.
