I don't want to "thump" while rolling down the road, I just want to hear the music as clearly as possible.

For simplicity, wouldn't a pair of 6.5" speakers be better? Maybe a little cleaner looking than the 6x9s?
You will get bass and sound out of 6x9's. Will handle more power too. That will give you more clarity at higher volume. Aesthetics aside, 6x9's are your best choice for music.
