Default Aftermarket Door Speakers - What Did You Get?

Wanted to see what aftermarket door speakers you all are running - I'm doing a processor, amp, and sub. Figured I might as well ad aftermarket fronts and possible rears (2013 Platty s/crew)

Please let me know the following?

What brand/model did you get (fronts and/or rears)
How do they sound to you?
Did they fit easily, or did you use a bracket?
If they are fronts, did you also replace the aftermarket tweeters?


Thanks

Normally I go with jl audio. They usually sound good to me..
This time I'm going with focal. I'm using a smaller sub cause I don't want to lose space in my supercab and focal ..from what I read can handle more of the low end sound.
I'll find out in 2 weeks when the install is done.
Edit..they need an adapter ..they are 6.5 inch round speakers

I used Polk audio in all 4 doors, much improved over stock, no amp yet.

I replaced all four speakers with Infinity Reference 6832cf 6"x8" 2-way Speakers. I guess they sound better than the stock speakers; I haven't added an amp so I'm probably missing the dramatic increase because of this. The speakers fit just fine without any modifications.

If you use harness adapters for the connections like this, make sure you eliminate slack by coiling the excess & zip-tying it so that you don't have the excess wire just floating in the door's cavity. I mention this because after my initial install, the harness adapter would stick out enough so that the power window would always brush it and make an audible "click" noise (just in general- not a noise through the speakers) when the window rose or lowered.

Infinity Kapa 6829CF in all 4 doors. Used a tie wrap to secure the cross over to the wire harness so it doesn't interfere with the window or rattle. Got them from Amazon, best deal around & the wire harness adapters as scole had mentioned earlier.
