basic upgrade advice requested

Where was your truck manufactured? If it was made in Dearborn, MI then you'll have molex connectors, which are a pain to try and amplify the front door speakers. If it was made in Kansas City, then you can just run new wiring to the speakers (no need to go through a molex connector).

Wrong...11series, you do have molex connectors. The beige color is a molex connector. I have the exact same beige colored plastic piece and that is a molex connector. Sorry to burst your happiness bubble. I have a few more pictures to show you what the molex connector looks like. The picture I first posted was a mod on another forum. Also check out post #14 from this thread...https://www.f150forum.com/f30/how-do...2/#post2683089.

But it's not as bad as it seems. There is a way to run new speaker wires to your speakers if you have molex connectors.
King...I don't know if it's just on the truck side of Ford's line up or what. I'm curious as well.

For sub woofers I would recommend a SA-8 SA-10 or SA-12 sub woofer in a custom ported enclosure. They are amazing subs for the price and are severely underrated in power handling.

For an amplifier I would recommend an Alpine MRV-M500. Amazing efficient amps that produce little to no heat.

Sounds like you want some component speakers to replace those "atrocious" tweeters. I can't comment much on these as I have the co-axial ones myself.
I can however comment on a 4-channel amp. I currently own the Alpine PDX-F4. It is an amazing amp. Produces no heat at all, I've had it at it's limits with my speakers for hours at a time. It's a little bit pricey but with 4 channel amps I've come to learn you get what you pay for.

I just peeled the door side of the boot back. No Molex. Just on the body side
