Or get a 5 channel amp...
cheapest 5 channel i found was 300 bucks thats crazy talk... Should i just run the doors on theyre own and a sub off an amp and call it a day?
I gotta say it makes me face palm when I hear someone ask for the 'best' speakers, and then balks at spending $300 for a _5 channel_ amp.
Even a decent 2ch amp shouldn't cost less than $150... $100/ch is baseline for a reasonable quality amp IMO..
If you're going to upgrade, it behooves you to do it right. Esp if the system has been modified from what was an already decent stock system.
To be honest, if budget is a concern, consider going with a 2.1 system instead of a 4.1 system. The rear speakers (sort of like rear brakes) aren't doing the heavy lifting anyway.
In your configuration, if it were me, I'd get a decent 3ch amp, run two good front components, Kenwood or JL TRs even. Then run two 6" (JL 6w3's perhaps...) subs in the rear deck, infinite baffle style. You'd have a great full sounding system, you could ignore the rear speakers for the moment, and with a deck thats crossed over you'd be able to really tune to get good clean volume that won't be overly 'boom'
