sound system recommendation and question

I picked up a 93sc300 with a pioneer headunit 60wx40 seems to be older though but has only one working speaker and one tweeter

So I'm looking to get some decent but cheap speakers for the SC. Right now I'm looking towards this setup since it seems to be a good deal.

Basically 6.5 Alpine Type-S component speakers with tweeters...but I can only fit 4" in the front doors and I'll mod the rear deck to fit the 6.5". My main concern is, is it bad to put the 6.5" component speakers in the rear deck, with the tweeters up in the front in the door window trim area? Everywhere I've read that the components go in the front doors along with their tweeters...but I can't fit that and I haven't really found any 4" component systems.

Then I'd be putting the 4" 2 way speakers in the front doors...would this setup be wrong? or just sound funky? and also is the amp necessary or is there no need since my head unit can somewhat power it. I'm just looking for crisp sound nothing to bump and vibrate the car and what not. Eventually I'll be upgrading the head unit along with a sub to fit in the stock enclosure.

Thanks I suck at all this audio stuff.haha

So much better for the money, dude.

You can fit a 6.5 in the front with an adapter and some spacers.

As far as product selection goes, won't get much better than this

It's a 4 channel so you'll have a spare 2 channels left for a sub incase you ever get one.

The amp will do 125 x 2 for your front stage and 500 x 1 @ 4 ohms for a sub.

money wise - look on ebay. Car audio looses value as soon as you buy it and the mark up is crazy. I am running a memphis mc3004 4 channel amp and two sets of memphis mclass components 6.5" and love them. Got the used on ebay for a good price. Hope this helped.
