I'm not looking for pro audio, just something that doesn't suck. I have a pair of Infinity Reference 6802cf 5x7's powered by the head unit and a couple Kenwood Tornado 10's powered by a 110W Fosgate Amp. The head unit is a Pioneer DEH-P5500MP.

I'm looking for a pair of door speakers (with tweets) to fill more mid-high range. I'm leaning toward the matching pair of Infinity Reference 5-1/4" (5002i). I'm just wondering if I could achieve better overall balance by stepping down to the 4" version (4002i). This is for my '89 Bronco II XLT.

If there's something else that would better suit me in the $50-70 range, I would like to hear your suggestions. Thanks!

I would go for components rather than coaxials for the fronts. I would also get an amp to power them, it will be much better than powering them from the head unit.

Component = $. Amp = $. Me = no $. I just want something that won't violate my ears.

I've got a set of Kicker EX 6.2 :) They're very nice.

I imagine those would be pretty good, and you can hook them up to an amp later if required :)
