Rear Speakers for a '95
First of all, Hi. I'm new here so go easy on me. I realize some forum users get pissed off at new guys who ask questions without scrolling through the archives first but I am quite overwhelmed with the vastness of this site.
There are over 10,000 new posts since my last visit (was that only yesterday?)!
So, here goes:
I have a '95 Accord LX (That's in Canada so I think it's the same as the DX in the U.S.). My speakers are the originals (crap). I have had a Sony CD Player for years (30WX4) and the speakers are just dying. They can't handle any kind of volume.
So I'm looking for recommendations for replacements. I love my Premier Pioneer system recently installed in my CR-V (50WX4, 180W woofers and tweeters with crossover up front and 160W three ways in the rear). But this cost me over a grand and I have little to spare at the moment for new speakers for the Accord.
I'm thinking then that if I just replace the rear speakers (61/2X9 inch?) with decent three-ways and fade the sound to the back I should be able to get good volume with high quality sound at a reasonable cost.
So can anybody suggest good speakers for this project? I am assuming you can get three-ways in the 9inch variety but I didn't see them when I went to Canadian Tire recently (just two-ways). Brand names? Costs? Any tips are welcome. Also, if there are any obvious flaws with this plan feel free to educate me.
I want something that will fit under the covers as well. I have read about owners who think they have the right sized speakers but something just doesn't fit right. I simple speaker swap is most desirable for me.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions poeple here can provide.

BTW, on another note, I noticed my avatar that I use on several other sites doesn't work here. Are there no animated GIFs here? I guess I'll have to look around a bit more and see for myself.

www.elitecaraudio.com
www.termpro.com
only thing is those are kinda high end and who knows how much ppl will help with low end stuff, anywho...
polks are nice, for 6x9's. if your looking for the cheapest but really good sounding check out blaupunkt
