It's not going to be a sound quality set up, I didn't mean to that it was. It's just going to be a fun DD that will make it to the track once a month or so. Nothing about this truck is going to be extreme, the budget doesn't allow that, and that's not what I really want anyways.. It's just going to function decent in each department.
That helps set the tone for what recommendations to make. I can see better what you are going for now.
My recommendation, is still going to include components instead of coaxials.
You can always throw a tweeter in sail panels very easily.
There are some very good budget sets out there, for $100 or less, and you'll have more options for placing your tweeter.
Check out Pheonix Gold RSD components, CDT Classics, or Planet Audio, etc...
Even Boston's lower line of component sets might be in your price range.
Shoot, you could even get some raw drivers that fit where you need them to and a cheap active crossover. All still affordable, and somewhat easy to set up.
I do suggest some noise treatments on the doors, especially sealing off the front wave and rear wave of whatever speaker you choose.
