Default Need your opinion on speakers

Hey everyone, I know this is the wrong forum for this, but-------
I'm looking for your opinion on speakers.
I'm going to be installing a Pioneer DEH-7800MP receiver with XM soon. I'm leaning towards Boston Accoustics SX65 6-3/4" for the back, and B/A SX95 6X9" for the front.
I have the 4-speaker system. I won't be adding any amps or subs.
Both sets of speakers are 2-way with their own crossovers built in.
I originally was intent on using Pioneer speakers but Iread some reviews stating that they really suckedfor sound($79 pr 6 3/4")
I have read here and various other places that B/A makes a decent speaker-so now I would like to know what you think.
This is not meant to be a killer sound system with huge bass and all that. Just something decent with decent sound reproduction---anythings' got to be better than factory!!

You can't go wrong with Bostons. You won't be disappointed. I've never liked 6 x 9's though. any reason you are putting 6 x 9s up front?

depends on what you want to spend but you can fit 6 1/2 in nthe door to replace the 6x9 but i put mmats 6 1/2 components in and they are VERY LOUDAND CLEAR! im also pushing them with a class d mmats amp so they can definately handle the power.

Thanks Everyone,

I kinda mulled over what to do with the 6 3/4 versus the 6x9 for the front. The biggest reason for going that way was to help increase the base for it all. I read a few reviews on Crutchfield's site about the sx65's and they were good revirews, but everyone came back with one downfall--the bass suffered some. Originally, my thoughts were to get 4 speakers all the same to balance the system and match speakers.---------your thoughts???
