Full Range or 2-way speakers in rear?

I have an 03 Rav4 and planning to upgrade the speakers, deck and place an amp (no subwoofer).

I'm putting 2-way speakers (maybe component) in the front but do you think it's necessary placing 2-ways in the back or full range speakers are good enough seeing they are usually less expensive & because the rear speakers may not be as "important".

I just use the back 6x9s for bass fill and through amp crossovers and eq I pretty much shut off the mids and highs. That being said I bought Eclipse 4-way 6x9s from Amazon on closeout for about $40 because I have heard Eclipse speakers a couple of years ago and liked them. If you really want something economical, the website below has Emerson 3-way 6x9s with large magnets for $15/pr shipping included. Hard to believe the price but they gotta be better than factory 6x9s

even for budget reasons, I probably wouldn't go with emersons. They'll probably blow just as much as factory speakers.

These lanzar speakers are really good sounding and won't break the bank:

You could also go for these hifonics 6x9's, but it would be recommended to power them with an amp:

it's better to put components in the front and 2 way coaxials in the back. Most of the music will be coming from the front and you should probably power them with a 2 channel amp....have your head unit power the rears. Usually rear speakers are just for fill, but if you have passengers in the back, then you should get a 4 channel amp.
