Go to your local stereo store and listen to various speakers.

What is best for you is the ones that sound best to you.

Good luck .........

Your not going to get alot of bass from 5X7/6X8 speakers.
I do have Polk DB570's all around. They sound good, & have a high SPL rating.

Components will be better for bass.
Go to www.crutchfield.com click on your vehicle, brose thrugh the speakers that will fit your vehicle, 5 1/4, 6", 6 1/2" 5x7, or 6x9's should show up. READ the reviews on each one of these to determine how good they are.
Remember these will be all the ones that will fit YOUR VEHICLE. Others may be to deep (rub the window) etc. to fit your vehicle.
I would be leary of ANY used speakers on E-Bay or anywhere else and I can't see saving much on new brand name good speakers there.

You will need adapters also to fit components. 5x7/6x8's are simple bolt in.
