Likely, you'll want a 4-channel speaker with minimum 75W RMS per channel, and you'll likely need a capacitor and deep-cycle battery.

The bigger issue on modern cars is getting clean signal out to your amp. Factory stereos are so integrated you can't remove them and their output is heavily modified to protect the crappy speakers, meaning you will have to resort to DSPs or things like a LC2i to bring back some bass.
You should see what 2023 Toyota OEM speakers look like now - 99% plastic. Not even a metal basket which makes 90s speakers look premium.

With aftermarket car speakers like these, you are really paying for the crossovers. Cars are generally terrible accoustic environments and the crossovers from Alpine, Kenwood, Kicker, are tweaked to boost frequencies that usually suffer in cars. They usually have low sensitivity and require more power as people here are saying (yes you generally need aftermarket amps for speakers like this to sound good) Most if not all factory headunits will NOT work well with these for that reason.
Also, a lot of modern cars are running speaker active from the factory headunit (i.e., no physical crossovers) with dedicated wires so just popping these in without knowing what you are doing will give poor results.
If you want to keep factory headunit (most modern cars are extremely integrated with AC, etc.) but upgrade your speakers alone my recommendation is to just get replacement speakers from home speakers like partsexpress. There has been ZERO advancements in loudspeaker technology since the 70's. End of story.
Learn what your car stereo outputs per channel and get a speaker component to match. These Alpines might fit the bill, but my experience has been they need more power due to the crossovers.
You can get (2) Dayton Audio 6.5" DC160 and (2) 1" dayton tweeters for ($100) that will sound fantastic and outperform these alpines if you don't need the crossover. I've been running Dayton speakers for years.
