Default Replacing Stock Speakers?

What speakers are best for the replacement of the stock ones?
I'm not buying an amp or anything so I don't need high watt speakers.

Thanks,
Craig.

i have INFINITY speakers, they sound great,,, you will need 6 1/2 and they are about 100 dollars, the highs are really good,,, they have rotating tweeters, so you can put the tweeters in direction. if you are going to replace your speakers, replace your wires, because the mossoon system is wired with cross overs, for an example, the speakers behind your seats are bass speakers, and the hatch speakers are highs, thats a stupid place to put high speakers, so you if just replace your speakers, you will get only bass out of your speaker behind your seat. if any more questions, just ask

Ok the door speakers were 2om and I replaced them with some Pioneer speakers (my friend works at Best Buy) that are 4om. He says there is no 2om speakers that I can buy? And I now have a popping sound when the car turns on and off with the stereo on.

Any suggestions anyone?

Thanks,
Craig.
