if you don't plan on installing an amplifier, you won't hear a difference in speakers >80watts. With that being said, you can install cheap 50 watt sony xplods from walmart (what I did) and they will work great and sound great too. The best part about the xplods is that they do not require a spacer so it's a very easy installation compared to getting a speaker that is too deep and needs to have a spacer in order to be installed.

You also have to cosider the depth of the speaker, otherwise it will stick out the door when you intall it.

loulizjag, the speakers in the front and back are 6.5" speakers and they can't be too deep otherwise they will interfere with window operation.
Sony XS GTX1641 Xplod car speaker - 75 Watt
This is the type of speaker I replaced mine with and they sound way better than the stock POS speakers.
