If you're not going all out on a stereo, i would get some good quality 3.5" dash speakers, i have had good luck with the JBL line of speakers in that size. i would also get a pair of bass blockers for the 3.5" speakers too, so the speakers will last longer. You can get a set of speaker adapters so you can mount 6x9 speakers in the rear deck under the rear window where the original 4x10 speakers are. I have had nothing but problems with the 4x10 size speakers, i have replaced them so many times over the years. I got the adapters for the rear and i am now running 6x9's back there with no problems.
my recommendations for the entry level system are.
good quality deck, Pioneer in my opinion are great.
3.5" dash speakers, a good quality brand like JBL, Pioneer or the like. These size speakers you dont need a lot of wattage, just make sure the speakers are higher wattage than the deck is. and get a pair of bass blockers
6x9 rear deck speakers, with adapters. a good quality brand like JBL, Pioneer or the like.
I would also add a small amplifier for the 6x9, i've had a kenwood 200 watt amp in the trunk for my 6x9's for over a decade and it works fine and sounds good.

I would replace the front dash speakers bro. They are easy to replace just when you do u Gotta watch out for the speaker depth. I got 3.5 inch mtxs in my dash up front they have have built in tweeters also. Then in the rear I got three way audiobahns 4x10 speakers. Then some lil cheep tweeters I got that Imma install on the apiller plastics.I got nice clear sound just with that setup.
also when switching to 6x9 speakers in the rear there is some modification required. And also your rear seat back will sit forward a couple inches.

When you installed the MTX speakers up front, did you have to do any modifications or did they fit right in? And if they did do you remember what model they were
i have seen the rear adapters at parts stores, but i would check at an audio shop i bought a set for $25. First make sure your speakers fit in the adapters, mine were to big i ended up making a new package tray out of mdf n covering it with carpet.
