Help me spend $200 or so on new speakers

[walrus]

I replaced the standard HU with a Kenwood KDC-MP342U. HUGE difference in the sound. Now its time to replace the speakers. I'm leaning towards some Alpine SPR-69C's for the front or maybe the SR-17C's. I have no plans to put in an amp so maybe the Type-S speakers would be sufficient? Of course Crutchfield says they won't fit mainly because they don't provide any 6x9 spacer brackets for the 4-runner. Ebay and tacotunes has them though.

So what do you think? SPR-69C's for the front and the SR-17C's in back. Maybe just the SR-17C's all the way around and save a couple of bucks? Are Type-S speakers sufficient for my needs?

I'm getting these for mine, I just ordered 2 sets last night. Polk Audio db6501. Plus these to replace the factory "tweeters" in the door. Polk Audio db351

I got a full set of Kicker KS series components for the front and rear and spent a little over $150 and they sound great and seem to fit heavier rock best. They compliment my MTX 10" sub in the rear nicely.

For $200 for fronts and rears is not really alot. That said, I'm not sure about the alpines but you should consider the Infinity's. They are pretty efficient and the sound Q is very clear and crisp for the money. The mids and lows will be a little lacking but for what you are looking at, you're not going to get that much more in that low end anyway.
