Suggestions for Speaker upgrade

Alright i'm going to post plenty of details so hopefully i can narrow down my speaker choices. I just installed an alpine cda-9857. i want to upgrade the fronts to components, and the rears to just a decent set of 2 ways. my receiver has 3 pre-amp outputs to accommodate some amps to power them. I listen to mostly classic rock, and alternative rock music, so i don't want the super crisp highs that make your ears bleed. I will probably add a sub-woofer in the near future so the speakers just need to be good for my mid range bass. The car is an 03 TL-s. any suggestions would be appreciated.

Might want to post a budget because we will suggest $1000 components.

Two things:

1) Consider acing the rears.

2) Consider amplifying the fronts. Most good component speakers sound like ass off of HU power.

Agree with elduderino, If you dont amp the fronts, you risk cooking both the speakers and the deck. Speakers can become just as damaged from under power as over powered.
