You already have speakers in front & back, right? DO you plan to keep the current Pios after adding the new speakers? Dont! Get rid of them, once you add new speakers.

A good idea is to get a good pair of comps [JBL GTO 607c (6.5K) or JBL CS2165c (5K), since you already have JBLs] and use them in front. Shift the speakers now in front to the back. Remove the Pio 3-ways.

3k won't get you comps, but you can get the JBL CS2165 2-way coaxials for that.

i'm planning to keep the 3ways also
is there any other brand where i can get components at a cheaper price?
and in case i get one.....i'm planning to shift the jbl 2ways to the rear doors..
and my question is, should i connect the jbl 2ways to the rear speaker connection or the front speakers?
