Help me with a Speaker Selection

Now that the truck is paid off I want to upgrade the speakers in her, but would like some insight on what to put in. The following are a list of possible speakers to choose from or if you have a different one, please feel free to share. I have an Alpine head unit and that is going to be what is pushing these speakers. Thanks for your responses.

Pioneer TS-A6880R (4 way)

Rockford Fosgate FRC4368 (3 way)
http://www.crutchfield.com/S-OJCL71L...0&I=575FRC4368

Kenwood KFC-C6889ie (3 Way)
http://www.crutchfield.com/S-OJCL71L...0&I=113KFC6889

Infinity Kappa 572.5cf (2 way)
http://www.crutchfield.com/S-OJCL71L...00&I=1085725CF

I am also posting this in the Audio section.

I've got the Kenwoods in my truck and they are OK, but if I had to do it again I'd get the Infinity Kappas

I have the Kenwoods. They are very good. If you go to the specs on the speaker page you will see speaker sensitivity. Infinitys are 90 db and Kenwoods are 92 db. The higher the no. the louder the speakers will play. I just put a blaupunkt 4 way 200w amp in and they sound even better.

I have the Pioneer 3-way's in mine. I noticed a little more treble, the bass is about the same.

I love the highs and the base is decent. I listen to rock and alternative. If you like rap and anything with alotta base well you might need a sub too.
