Kenwood KFC-1362S
Pioneer TS-G1343R
Sony XS-GT1326A

go with the kenwood the sensitivity is 2db better and it can handle an extra 3 watts rms and 10 max compared the pioneer. the only advantage the pioneer has is 4khz more at the top end but you cant hear 20+ khz anyway so not much point. if there is a price difference get the cheaper one cause honestly you wont be able to tell the difference.

If there's a coaxial that allows you to rotate or adjust the aim of the tweeter, get that one. High frequencies are very directional, and if you're using the stock mounting positions, you're going to want a coax that lets you point the tweeters upward instead of aimed at your ankles.
btw Crutchfield sometimes offers sales on speakers, but otherwise you're better off getting them elsewhere, and you'll automatically be on placed on their monthly mailing list.
I recommend visiting your local car stereo dealer and checking out the speakers for yourself. Plus if you bring cash, then you'll have a better chance politely negotiating a discount. Bring $50-60 with you. With coaxials (2-way speakers with built-in resistor crossovers), there's not going to be much improvement in sound quality above that price range, unless you go with components (separate speakers with external crossovers).
