If you're just looking for something decent, Pioneer, Alpine, Infinity, MB Quart, or Polk (not necessarily in that order) should be fine and not too expensive. Stick to component and replace your stock tweeters with the woofers. It's best if you can replace the crossovers as well, but that's more involved and I won't get into it here.

Lol @ calling MB Quart, Polk, and Infinity decent... You'll actually be paying more for these brands than the others. And Pioneers are your cheapest bet unless you go with their Premier stuff. Alpine Type S stuff can be had for pretty cheap too.

What? They have some more expensive speakers available, but they have cheap and just decent stuff available... Just like Pioneer.

Yeah, this is true, I've just never looked at those brands and thought cheap or decent. I guess when you establish a name with your top of the line products, people tend to overlook your lower end. Or maybe it's just me. Regardless, you are correct.

I use Infinity 62.7i's running off the Monsoon amp and they sound great. For the doors the Infinity kappa's can't be beat if your still running them off the Monsoon amp. Plenty loud and clear and I am running a new 2006 Kenwood hu and have 2 10's running off a seperate sub amp. I have a Camaro and don't have the seperate tweeter like the Pontiac cars, but Infinity also makes sperates in the kappa line and price is pretty good. You could use the 62.7's and just run the tweeter wire from the sperate tweeter into the 62.7i's since they have dual inputs for woofer and highs, but I would rather go with seperates. Only 2ohm speakers I know of that will go in our cars is the Infinity kappa line. If you are not still using the Monsoon amp, then you have many choices.

2 ohm or 4 ohm doesn't matter. And while I mentioned Infinity before myself, I do want to point out that you should listen to them first because they are quite bright. I list them because a lot of people like them, but a lot of people also like Klipsch, and both make my ears hurt a lot.
