Hi everyone, I've been reading you for almost two weeks, I read every sticky and a few topics, and learned quite a lot. I'm a do-it-yourselfer and I'm currently in the process of installing my 5th sound system (all in different cars).
Here's my setup
2002 Nissan Maxima
Kenwood KDC-X891 HU (brand new)
Kicker SX650.1 & SX400.2 amps w/SXRC Remote (brand new)
Soundstream VGW-12 subs (sealed) 600WRMS, 4ohm DVC (from my last setup)
I have two questions, I will start with the first and continue with the second later in this topic. So here's the question:
I have two kicker KS65 6.5" coaxs in the back, which will be connected on a small 2X50W rms amplifier later, and I'm unsure what I should put in the front. I realised my old fronts were defective while installing, so it's time for new ones! The front speakers will be powered by my SX400.2 which is 2X100WRMS (It can even go to 2X200WRMS at 2ohms) I'm thinking of these two:
JL AUDIO VR650-CSI and KICKER KS65.2
I think the JL Audio would probably be better, but I'm unsure if I should go with the kickers since I already have kickers in the back. I don't know if "matching" the speakers like that would accomplish anything. Please feel free to suggest any speaker that can be bought off the internet up to 200$. Are 2ohm components available?? Using that 200W RMS per channel would be nice!
Why speakers only available on the internet? For price, and choice, because up here in Quebec, Canada (french speaking province), it's pretty hard to find authorized dealers for any brands, since most sales reps don't speak french, and don't want to. When you find one, expect to pay at least double the price of the same product in a US dealer. I've seen some products sell in stores for 4 (or more) times the price of US dealers, and I'm speaking about amplifiers my SX amplifiers here.
I am looking for sound quality, but I won't be involved in any competition, and I'm mostly listening to electronic (80%) and hip hop (20%) music. I'm also on a "not so tight" budget, but most of my budget already has gone into my HU, amps, 0ga wiring, alarm, etc... Only thing left are my front speakers and an EQ that I'll be adding in a few months, which I'll set up with a SPL meter.
Also, if anyone has experience with those SX amps, what do you think about them?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions, and feel free to comment my setup, I love constructive criticism.

I've also added Kicker RS65.2 components to my choices of fronts. They will most likely be the ones I choose. Does anyone have other suggestions or would these be fine?
