why 2 sets ? one set for the front and one for the rear? 
 
I wouldn't bother with the rear ones and keep the soundstage up front if you really must have speakers in the rear a set of coaxials will do the job fine run off the head unit 
 
Get a decent set of comps up front and amp them 
 
rainbow slx265 deluxe are well worth the money

If you wanna push you budget a bit more how about some genesis Profile 16's

have you thought about sound deadening the doors and boot ? you will really notice the differece if you do/have and its worth ever penny imho. cad are doing some good deal on the second skin range. the feedback from people on talkaudio reckon its far better the dynamat extreme and better vfm.

i've just brought a set of the rainbows and they are absolute quality,  
 
and sound deadening is worth the money to, the shop i got my speakers from had a demo set up with 2 subs set into metal cans, one with matting in and one with out, and the difference is quite noticeable.
