6.5/6.75 components for the front, nothing for the rear. If you want subwoofers, go for a 12" stealthbox (seriously, 12" is MUCH better than 10", see the link in my sig) in the rear or get a couple of these for the sail panels. Amps are recommended no matter what.

i know quite a bit about amps and subs, i was just wanting to know what size replacement speakers went by the rear seats and front doors .... and sub size is all a matter of opinion..the smaller the sub the more tight the bass is and the bigger the louder

Those TBs will need a little tweaking to fit, they are a pretty deep 6.5" speaker. Also, there aren't many 12s that will operate at their full potential in a stealth box. The information in the link in your sig has some pretty misleading (and wrong) information.

You can fit 6.75" speakers and smaller. Anything under a 6.5 will need an adapter, which you can buy or make yourself.

Better question would be how much do you want to spend on the replacements?

No, you don't know quite a bit about subs. It's very possible for a 12" sub to be tighter than a 6.5" sub. If you like tight bass, look for a stiff and light (metal is good) cone, a high Qms and a high BL. The W7 is one of these. Some people say those kind of subs hurt their ears because they produce very sudden changes in air pressure. Lots of people prefer a W6.

ok man your right i dont know anything....get a 18'' sub...compare it to a 10"...the 18 will be loud and not very tight at all...why does it have to be JL?? there are very few subs that like small stealth inclosures and i really disagree that jl is one that prefers a stealth enclosure
