So, whatever speakers you decide to get in front (Infinitys should be a good choice, as are many others), you will get much improved sound by putting a high pass filter on the woofer. Crutchfield used to, maybe still does, call them 'bass blockers', but it's just a simple capacitor. I can assist with values if need be. You want to remove as much sound below 100 Hz as you can, from the front, or you'll have some distortion when you crank it up. With some speakers, as high as 150 is more realistic. Anyhow..
For rears, again there are lots of good options. In front or rear, I would suggest separates, as you will get better quality all around for not a whole lt more money if you shop around. I don't buy speakers at retail, or even prepackaged systems, however, so my viewpoint is a bit skewed. If retail is your thing, others will have more pertinent suggestions than I.
Since you aren't replacing the stock amp, also keep an eye on the efficiency of your replacement speakers, the higher the better.
