Front and Rear Speakers

Hi Guys,
The previous speaker post discussion was about adding front speakers without having to install an amp (I'm leaning towards the infinity 6030cs). What would be a good brand of speakers if I'd like both front and rear speakers and don't want to get an AMP? I don't need booming bass, but a little bit of clean bass and crisp highs would be nice. Is it possible to get this without an amp? Can the stock HU power 4 non OEM speakers? I've read that if the speakers are efficient this is possible for front speakers. How about front and rear? Is their enough juice in the stock HU? What would be a good set of rears to compliment the 6030s (without Amp)?
Thanks!

There is night and day clarity between having an amp and not having one. Just because you have an amp doesn't mean you're going to have extreme bass. I just recently purchased a 4 channel amp from Kenwood for my Eclipse. It is small in size and produces very little heat.

Very nice powerful amp. You can't beat the price as well!

Thanks laforze. I actually don't mind bass and I definitely know an amp will make the system sound better. Was hoping to keep costs down as I won't be doing the install myself and adding an amp will mean the cost of the amp + the cost of the amp install.
