NEED stealth installation of front components in a '01 EX Coupe, which speakers???

So I decided to install front components for now instead of replacing the enclosed subwoofer that got stolen out of my car (along with my Alpine CDA-9815 & Amp!!!).

Problem is i NEED to find a set of component speakers that will fit in the front UNDER the stock door trim so they wont show that they're even there...

I also need them to be able to handle upto 160W rms as well...
(ins sent me a replacement amp that rocks!!!)

Basically i just want to end up with the components installed and the stock speaker grills on the tweeters and the lower doorpanel speakers, so to the unsuspecting car audio thief the car's still stock...

yikes $400???

i know you get what you pay for, but i'm lookin for something in the $100 - $150 range. maybe $200 but i'm tryin to keep the cost of the speakers down under $150... tryin to save enough to get the Alpine DVA-9861 in the next couple weeks.

infinity reference speakers will fit under the stock door panel with no modification as long as you use a 1" spacer or less.
