Speaker choice depends on your listening preferences. Quite honestly, I don't build many systems since I pick the hardware based on spending budget and reviews.

Just remember audio quality isn't perfect out of the box, but you can expect improvements with better speakers. It's a good start. If you can invest in a head unit that offers EQ, you can further tweak the sound to improve the clarity and make it less boomy.

My last build consisted of a Clarion DXZ825, MB Quart speakers, and a 10" JL W3 subwoofer. It's not top notch or competition quality, but the way I have it setup I've received positive comments from average listeners. :-)

Search for speakers within your budget and look at reviews. If possible, visit a local audio shop and test out some speakers you have in mind. For average case scenario, pick an average head unit and set the bass/treble settings to neutral. Find the speakers that sound best to you. It's a shot in the dark.

Also, with component speakers, it is highly recommended that you drive these speakers from an external amp because of the passive crossover.
