don't put four components up front. it will be a waste of your money. in reality, you could get away with a sub(s) in the trunk, a deck (which you already have) and a nice set of components up front. plus the amps. many people say not to replace the rear speakers. this makes sense to me as i am currently rolling with my rear speakers disconnected. people don't really ride back there and i don't sit back there and drive so i don't hear them.

a component speaker will have a midbass driver, a tweeter and a crossover. some companies will include a bracket or a mounting thing that will allow the component speaker to act as a coaxial speaker. a coaxial speaker is when the tweeter and midbass are together, like you said. most speakers you see at Circuit City or Best Buy are coaxials. component speakers allow for a little more flexibility but are more expensive. everyone i talk to say they like component speakers better.
here is a link to a picture of a component speaker

the "bigger" speaker you see is the midbass.this is usually located closer to the drivers feet. the "smaller" speaker is the tweeter which is usually located near the midbass driver. the box is your crossover.

as you can see there are more 'components' to a component set of speakers, hence the name. coax speakers are a cheaper way to improve your audio but in my eyes if you are going to improve your audio do it with something better by using component speakers.
one thing to keep in mind when installing component speakers is the location of the tweeter in realtion to the midbass driver. i've heard that they should not be farther than 12 inches from the midbass driver. i know Q-logic makes some component kicker systems that will fit in your car and you can put your speakers into these systems. if you are good with fiberglass make some sick ones yourself.
i hope this helps a little more. just remember, i personally don't think, nor would i spend the extra money, to replace all 8 speakers in your car. if you get the urge you can do so later. but you should be able to get a decent set up with just the subs, deck, and some speakers up front. just ask away on here, there are many more guys out there that are far more knowledgable than me and i'm sure they will be willing to help you out.
