Need some options guys
Lots of threads on speakers going on,but I can not find much on replacement dash speakers . There seems to be lots of views but not a lot of answers
Looking for ideas and recommendations for replacing the dash speaker in a 64 C-10. I am using a JVC in dash 20 watt RMS output. I have ghetto temporary speakers (6 inch pioneers) in a card board box on the passenger floor for now.
I would like to put two 4 inch speakers in the stock location using the wood template route.

Is there a full range speaker that I should be looking at?
Can I expect reasonable sound from a 4" speaker? Not expecting a lot of bass , I just do not want "tinny" either.
Lots of brands I have never heard of and too many options has me confused. I know , bigger is not always better but I need a starting point and a few suggestions.
Not looking for a thumping set up , just decent quality and sound.
Local car audio guys are a little over the top with ideas as they must be on full commission.
I will not cut the doors.
