What kind of speakers do I need?

Hi Im planning on changing out my speakers in my 2004 G35 sedan. Can someone tell me what size speakers do I need for both the rear and the front. I was thinking of buying component 3-way speakers. Specifically this is what Im planning on getting. http://www.eclipse-web.com/component/sc8365.html
Do you think this will fit and work out fine. I will have a friend who knows how to install these things do it for me because as you can see I know nothing about it. As for the amplifier I plan on getting this http://www.eclipse-web.com/amp/xa4200.html As for the headunit I plan on getting this. http://www.eclipse-web.com/cd/cd7200overviews.html Ive decided to not get the navigation system just because I dot need it. So what do you think of this and any input on the speaker size would be appreciated. Btw I have a great hookup on these stuff so thats why Im planning on buying them. So just to let you know Im going with eclipse either way, and from what I know they are very high quality stuff.

Thanks

I got 3 piece component systems in my doors. The sound is amazing, it sounds like you have a live band sitting in the car playing . I had to cut some fat *** holes in my doors though......The factory setup is for 2 piece not 3 piece.

Awesome, so there is some work to be done. Im doing this because the factory speakers are crap. They sound so bad, and my stock headunit blew so now I have no choice.

Not in the sedan. The sedan has a small sub.

For a simple fit, 2 way component speakers up front and coax in the rear will work. 3 way components will take some customization to install.

Yeah I have the stock not the bose system. I really like the 3 way component because they sound very good. I want to have really good sound so I was thinking just to go all out and get the best

Be prepared to break out your wallet. I know what I want, and realistically what I'm willing to spend. G/l bro!

In my opinon if you have a good SQ front stage you don't need the rear door speakers and those 3 way components are a very good choice for SQ it will take some work but you will be pleased. Also if you wanna add some base just add an 8 inch woofer (8w7) in the rear deck where the Bose sub is suppose to be, alot of work but I have heard this setup and it is CRAZY. Simple and clean
