What is powering the speakers? Stock non-Bose HU? Bose HU and Bose amp? Aftermarket amp?

And what's the power rating of the amp if you are using an amp?

I am selling 3 like-new Kicker amps. KX350.4 and (2) KX600.1

the 350.4 is perfect to run the components and the 600.1's are great if you add subs. I am in Socal and I am letting these go cheap.

so you think the Kicker KS are the best between all the ones I linked to? Also is that true for any circuit city?

I couldnt do both front and back using those kicker KS? Whats the difference between regular vs 2-way vs 3-way vs 4-way etc...

The rears are 6.5" as well correct?

Thanks alot for the help! I might get those amps you got, gotta see how much money i have in the bank

I can only speak of the Kickers because they are the only ones I have had on your list.

KS650.2 in the front
KS650 in the rear

Someone remind me, is it only the Bose setup that runs 2 ohms? Maybe the non-Bose is 4 ohms?

You only have one choice that is a component speaker which is ine of the Alpines. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1199494646675

It's a no brainer to get those for the front since all the others are coaxial. Get a matching coaxial set for the rear.

Spend a little more money and get some good speakers. I have a set of used JL 6.5 components I'd sell you for a little more than that.
