This actually brings up another concern I have. I've never heard a system with components like these before. It seems like the people with the most audio experience on CEG seem to prefer these brands, even though they seem unusually cheap, so I assume this is the right road to go down, even though I only have a vague idea of what I am doing. This is actually important, because my parents think I am pouring money into a black hole by doing anything to my 'tour, and I need to prove them wrong with either serious sound, saving a lot of money, or preferably, both.

With that in mind, I pinned down some choices that appear to be good. Audax 5.5" Aerogel Driver, Tang Band 4" Driver, Goldwood 5.5" Driver.
And these Tang Band's for tweets.

One other thing, do you know what size tweets and drivers will fit on a 6x8" plate? I was going to draw up a model to figure out what sizes will fit, but can't find complete enough dimensions for a 6x8" mounting location.

The one reason I didn't pin down choices initially is that I noticed on ebay there is a continually changing set of vifa (and other brands) drivers up there in pairs for significantly less than on PE. I figured that some of those would be good, and certainly be cheaper than buying already-put-together components, but since they change so often, I didn't want to become really set on them only to have them bought up by someone else before I could get a chance/figure out what I'm doing.

Thanks for your help.
