Speaker recommendations needed 
Above is the schematics of my 6 speaker non-monsoon W73 RPO. Looking to do something with the dry rotted front speakers ASAP. Since this system has no amp not sure of speakers such as the component CDTs are the best fit or of a pair of 4 ohm coax speakers maybe better for this system ? Also will be needing something for the rears but they are 10 ohm but that can hold off.
Combining partial post from Vert section (since it appears this sound system option is unique to the 98 Vert ?); deleted duplicate post.
"I had a specific question related to front speakers on a 1998 Trans Am Vert. That year the monsoon system was not an option. The available stereo options were either RPO W73 Entertainment system - Radio, AM/FM Stereo, Compact Disc, Equalizer, 6 Speaker system, Dual Front Door Tweeters/Woofers or RPO W59 which is the Cassette deck equivalent. The W73/W59 did not have an amp and all (6) speakers are powered off the HU with the front midwoofer/Tweeter being powered off one channel (parallel) the tweeter and midwoofer (4 ohms) both had some filtering (Capacitor-HPF on tweeter) and some other filtering for mid/low frequencies for the midwoofer. I have tried a couple sets of 6.5" coax speakers (cheap) I had laying around and they don't sound any better than the blown stock speakers (lack of bass and distortion)."
Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

i dont think my car has 6 , i think only 4 but my recommendation would be either alpine R's for about $100 a pair or focal's about $350 pair with dynamat. i believe the current part # SPR-60 for my alpines in stock location on my 99 vert. hope that helps. ps i added a kenwood head unit & an alpine mini amp which my installer really worked hard on bypassing the factory trunk amp. goodluck!
