I have a 95 Celica Convertible that is long due for a stereo upgrade. I have a new kenwood head unit and a kenwood 2 channel 350 watt Amp from my old car. My question is what type of speakers should I go with? I was thinking about 2 3-way speakers up front connected to the Amp and subs in the back? ....or subs up front connected to amp and midways in the back?

You could put a 3-way component system in the front and 1 sub in the back. You would have plenty of range with that set up. You could do a 2-way component setup in front and a mid for the back seat and a sub. I would recommend buying a 4 channel amp to power the components. Dont put 8" subs in the front. Lower frequencies have to travel longer distance for your ears to hear bass. Low frequency = long wavelength. High frequency = short wavelength. How much are you looking at spending? I work for Audio Dimensions LLC in Chicago and we are a authorized dealer for most major brands in car audio or a/v for that matter. Let me know if you need any help or advice.

Well, I am not looking to spend too much. I have $200 for speakers. I have a 12 inch sub, but I really dont want to put it in - its too much bass and it really eats up my trunk space. I really like the boston acoustics component speakers, but they are a little outside my price range.
I know someone selling a pair of jbl P652s...I was thinking those up front and some mids in the back. They are also selling Infinity 4x6 462.5cfp Kappa series which should fit up front.
