Default Complete system upgrade

Hey guys so I need some help deciding what I want to do with my audio system. Right now I have a pioneer avh-p2400bt headunit and 4 aftermarket 6x8 coaxials. I'm 100% adding two 10" subs (amped) in the trunk but what I'm not sure about is my other speakers.

Do you all think it would be better to just amp my coaxials as well or should I spring for a name brand component set for the doors and either mid or full range drivers in the rear deck?
Please and thanks any help or opinions are appreciated

Well that all depends on what type of sound you're looking for and more importantly your budget.

Component systems will deffinitely yield much better sound than most coaxile systems, however run a double to tripple price tag.

This is what I say. Get the subs and amp installed. See how it sounds, if it's not the tone you want inside the cab, then look at amped component systems. An amp system is the best way to get the most sound out of the speakers to match the sound coming out of the subs. Nothing is worse sounding that subs that drastically over power the speakers.

Yea I finally got a pioneer 10" powered by a boss amp and that thing really beats. But my front stage really doesn't sound how I want it to. I'm trying for better sound quality when I turn it up not muddy how it is when powered by the head unit. So the components I'm looking at are

Pioneer TS-D1720C (60 RMS) -your opinion on them or any better ones in that price range?

Powered by a Pioneer GM-D9500F (75 RMS @4OHM)- again any opinions on this combo?

+1 on what Jthorn said. The only thing I would add is that you will most likely be able to keep your rear coaxials as they'll primarily be used for rear fill. Spend some extra bucks on the front component set and believe me, your ears will thank you. It will definitely be money well spent. That's of course if you decide to go the component route over keeping the coaxials.
