Two pairs of these:

If you want more ompf, put a small 4ch amp on them.

These are components even though the pic doesn't show it.

I put these in the front of my truck and they impressed the hell out of me, even on aftermarket head unit power. I've had tons of car audio that was way more expensive, but this is the best bang for the buck in car audio that I've ran into in some time.

I will say, I have since added an amp to them, but that as only because I added a sub. It really wasn't needed, but I figured while I was adding 1 amp that I might as well add another.

I went with Pioneer TSD6802R in all 4 doors powered by a pioneer head unit and they sound excellent to me. IMO any top name brand speaker(Kicker,Pioneer,JL,Polk,Memphis,Infinity ect,) will sound great as long as they're powered correctly. Top of the line head units are rated around 50 watts x 4 Max and depending on the brand between 22-27 watts RMS or Continuous. So whatever speakers you're looking at don't pay attention to "Max Power" look for the RMS/Continuous/Nominal power rating.

I have installed these Kickers 6x8's in front and back doors just recently. They sound amazing and I spent less than $200 on them. They sound great coming off my Pioneer HU.

The install of the speakers was very easy. Especially on the front. I disabled the tweeters in my front doors as well.

Good luck

I put Focal's into mine, component in front, coaxial in rear. I also ran them on a separate amp though, I was very happy with how clear they were.

Ive got four Rockford fosgate 6x8s in mine. not quite sure of the specific model but they sound amazing and only spent 120$. the only problem is the speaker didn't quite fit in the front doors. so I had to rig something up. big pain in the *** to deal with.

I put kicker component 6 x 8 up front and kicker 6 x 8 coaxial in the rear all driven by the factory nav head unit. I also added a 10" kicker sub under the rear seat driven by a JBL amp and it sounds great to me. Plenty of thump. The whole setup was less than $500.
