Rockford Fosgate Speaker Question WRX Sedan

I replaced my head unit with:

Alpine CDA-9811 head unit:

RMS Power: 23 x 4
Peak Power: 50 x 4

Here is what I am thinking now for speaker upgrades:

Rockford Fosgate Fanatic X FNX2614U Component Speakers in front ($152 shipped)

Size: 6 1/2
Sensitivity: 90.8 dB
Frequency Response: 40-22,000 Hz
Recommended RMS Power: 70W
Peak Power Handling: 140W
Impedance: 4 ohms

Rockford Fosgate HPC2204 2-Way Speaker in rear door ($62 shipped)

Size: 4
Sensitivity: 89 dB
Frequency Response: 55-24,000 Hz
Recommended RMS Power: 40W
Peak Power Handling: 80W
Impedance: 4 ohms

I would need an amp to drive the fronts, right?
Can I save $$$ by using the head unit to drive the rears and get a cheaper amp to drive the fronts?

Your opinions are greatly appreciated,

Scott

You will really need an amp to make those front speakers shine, If you dont want an amp, just get coax's all around or else you'll be wasting money.

Yes, you guys here and NASIOC convinced me. I'll be getting the Fosgate 301S 75W x 2 to power the components and will use my head unit to drive the rears.

I am running a Rockford Fosgate 851 at 2 ohms powering 4 8" subs and the two front Coaxial JL Audio speakers. The head runs the back. It does sound awesome. I am thinking of getting a mono amp for the subs so I will be able to power the rears with the 851.
