I want everyones opinion on these speakers/setup
I got a JBL P80.4 (4 channel) 160w(40/chan) amp as a gift so I want to get some speakers. these are my options:
FRONT:
Infinity Reference 605cs $139.99
JBL GTO605c $199.99
REAR:
Infinity Kappa 692.5i $199
Kicker 02K69 $149
Those are the ones Crutchfield says fits our cars, is there anything else I am missing? Or you guys recommend over them about $200/pair is my max budget, $230 would be stretching it. I'd like to get something that fits with a spacer, I don't want to make my own MDF spacer or cut/drill anything, I want something that fits.
What do you guys think about powering that out with the JBL P80.4? I don't know about a HU yet, but i just wanted to get your Opinions on the speakers.

Go with components up front ... and bridge the amp into two channels for them only.
Screw the rears ..... they are only for rear passengers and tend to really throw off the imaging.
Or you could get a small sub and components. Run the components off one set of channels. Bridge the other and run the sub off that.

I actually have another amp for the subs, I have an MTX amp for the subs.
All the front ones that I listed are components, the Infinity Reference and JBLs are components, which one in your opinion is better?

Spend more money on the fronts not the rear speakers. Kappa components up front Reference 6x9's in the back. If you want only those brands.
For the prices though you can get some pretty decent stuff.

Crutchfield doesn't list Kappa components 6.5 do they fit our cars? If so, where do you recommend me getting them? I'd like a place that gives me everything, spacers, harness, etc.
And I don't just want Infinity I am open to suggestions, Alpine, etc, I just don't know if those will fit our cars since Crutchfield didn't list them
