Default Sail panel speakers

I saw mentioned that you can run the rear speaker wires to the sail panel so that you can get full frequency sound. I have a roll bar in the rear area so that is perfect for me.

Can someone give me some example brand and model numbers of speakers that are good to put in there? I just replaced my door speakers with new stock ones and upon looking at the quality of the crap I just put in I want to go a different route with the sail panels.

I am not an audiophile so I dont understand some of the things I have read in the threads here. I just want a spec on some good speakers to put in and I can use the FAQ to wire them.

Thanks

I'm a fan of Alpine speakers, the Type-S 2-ways are a great bang for the buck and they would sound good.

Yep, I have those front and rear right now, they sound great. I've also heard the MB Quart RWE160's are great for if you want more of just a mid-range sound.
