By-Nine suggestions

[white4d96]

I am currently running a pair of Alpine SPS-690A by-nines in my car. Due partially to their location (lots of sun exposure) and due mostly to me stupidly feeding them a dirty full-pass signal off the HU for months, they have cracking rubber surrounds and crunchy coils. So now I am looking for new/used by-nines.

Right now I am running them off of 35w RMS (off a Sony amp run at 8 ohms, my guess is 70w x2 (half the 4-ohm RMS), divided by two speakers per channel, so 35w) high-passed at 80Hz, but I plan to eventually upgrade to 50w RMS off a 4-channel. I would like a decent speaker but do not have much to spend. I am looking for recommendations for good by-nine coaxials. If they are inexpensive ones, I may buy new. If not, I will look on EBay and the forum for used examples. So basically I am looking for suggestions for decent by-nine coaxials for...oh, let's say...less than $50. If that ends up being unrealistic I can change it but let's start there. I am open to any suggestions, even if it's to suck it up and start counting pennies for real amps and speakers lol.

Thanks in advance,
