hmmm... i would need an EQ then? because i have a reallllly old alpine EQ sitting around... but it uses DINN plugs instead of RCA's...

regardless of what is said as the best value or such, take a few weekends to go listen to different speakers. Hearing is so subjective that what I like may not be what you like.
for instance...Crisp loves those Bostons components but Im not a big fan of them because they tend to be on the bright side for my tastes.
so go listen and compare. Since they are rears, I would put more money on a great sound stage and use ok 6x9s for the rear since they are usually for rear fill only.

for bass I would invest in some sound dampening too. makes a good
amount of difference to seal off the door. with my 8" in the deadened door, ive measured all the way down to about 45hz.... the sub simply fills in the bottom end.
and an EQ is nice if needed. ive found that unless you are competing an EQ isnt all that necesary. a simple adjustment in basic onboard eq usually does the trick. Again, thats most people.
