car: 2009 Toyota Corolla Altis 1.8V
factory speakers: 2 Tweeters, 2 front speakers (6 inches yata), and 2 rear speakers (6x9 yata)
headunit: Pioneer AVH-4450BT 2DIN

what can you suggest mga sirs?

mga requirements:
1. below 15k only
2. as much as possible stock look only (no protruding speaker covers, no mounted tweeters over the dashboard, must use all space allocated for the stock speakers especially the tweeters)
3. sa 6x9 po ba, ano yung three-way, two-way at one-way? for this setup, what can you recommend?
4. no amplifiers for the mean time pero gusto ko ready for amplifier na when time and money permits
5. shop that is an expert in installation for this (within NCR lang sana)
6. no in-trunk subwoofers (but is it ok kung under-seat subwoofer ang gamitin ko?, I can't compromise storage space kasi )
7. for general music lang, I just want something more clearer and merong "dating" compared to the stock speakers

questions:
1. do I still need to upgrade the wirings kahit hindi wala pa akong amplifier?
2. is it ok ba na gumamit ng higher wattage speakers kahit hindi ako gumamit ng amplifier? maapektuhan ba yung sound output like mahina yung sound?


any help would be greatly appreciated mga bossing.
What I do suggest is ask you car audio installer for his opinions. People charge differently naman kasi so best to give him a budget.

As for your questions:
1. I suggest you do. The most important factor of wires is resistance of the wire.. aside from this, you also need to look at their insulation (for noise and electromagnetism). And because resistivity is the most important factor, it's best to change your stock wiring which may be undersized for your future needs.

Think of it as a hose. Ayaw mo naman ng maliit na garden hose when fighting a fire... you want a bigger hose. That's exactly what a thicker copper wire does to you. Lessen the electrical flow resistance.

2. Okay ba gumamit? Yes.
Maapektuhan? Yes.

An amplifier amplifies your sound (obviously) and this in turn generally affects your sound output. As I said, generally. This is because speaker drivers behave differently depending on their design and construction. Some speakers won't even move with 2W of power.. while some speakers -- scream.
