What are you wanting from this? Not to be rude, but just saying what speaks is being aweful vague. Price, looks, amount of space to be used, how far you want to go with this and many other factors would be needed to give you an informed opinion.
Such as. "Yo i have this truck, and i want better highs. I dont like the screamin highs, i just want some good midbass and to be able to hear each and every component of the band" or "I got this POS work truck and i just need some decent low budget highs"...and as far as subs...."man i want to go all out, whats the biggest boom i can get for 300 bucks" or hey, i need some very tight clean bass, i got a fat wad of cash but only this much space"
You get the idea.
Need more info.

they aint cheap, I haven't really priced them but they are high end stuff. I would get 10" subs in your case. I think hard rock sounds kinda funny with alot of bass so 8" may be better. but 10's are a good compromise because rap your gonna want a bigger sub for more bass.

I like Infinity Kappa series speakers because they can handle alot of power and still sound clear. I have Rockford Fosgate and they sound good but thats just off the head unit power. I would look for at least a good 3way speaker or if you can get some good componets. Q-logic makes some kicker panels for all types of cars and trucks that put componet speakers down low by the door. These would give you additional speakers to your regular ones in your doors and pilar.

I havent recommended ARC in a while so ill do this. ARC KAR 6.5's for your front, 5x7's for your rear. Arc KAR 400.4 to run your highs. An ARC KAR 1000.2 will get you 900w@ 4 ohms of real juice, cleanly, fo-eva, if you treat it right. KAR is arcs low line if you can even say anything arc is "low-line", and will be easier on pocket than JL.
2 dayton audio titanics or DVC's to round out the bass cheaply with a sub that sounds phenomenal sealed or ported, that has a 5 years warranty.
JL's greatest feat was not the line they carry, or the quality of it, no sir, it was marketing. As exhibited here.

I just had a JL Audio 10" installed in my F-250 CC to go with my Alpine system. I listen to mostly hard rock and it really sounds great. Doesn't overpower the rest of the music and sounds real clean. I think I paid 125 for it at Al and Eds audio.
