Infinity Kappa or Reference. Decent speakers help a lot, but a head unit that won't distort at higher power is also very important.

I have Alpine SPS-571A in the front doors and SPS-570A coaxial 2 way speakers in the rear supercab doors
I am running an Alpine 9855 HU and powering the speakers I am using the MRP-T220 2 channel anmp for the front component speakers and the rears are powered by the HU. I am running a JL AUDIO SW3 10" sub in their own wedge enclosure with Alpine's MRP-M350 mono amp I love my system, but want to upgrade my head unit to a DVD/NAV system

Alpine has always been consistently good to me!

I have the Infinity Kappa perfect 5 1/4 component series in mine, front and rear, with TONS of power from amps pushing them, they sound crystal clear regardless of sound level, distortion is the enemy!!!!!! If you go this route, you'll want to add some subs behind the seat, I can't ever leave a stock stereo alone hahaha

Boston Acoustics SL80 2-way plate speakers all around (2005 F250 Crew Cab). Driven by a JL Audio 300/4 amplifier.

A JL Audio Stealth Box Subwoofer sits between two front seats. Driven by a JL Audio 250/1 amp.

Reciever is a Kenwood DDX8017 (6.5" 2-Din Size).

Put Dynamat into the front doors to deaden them.

Very pleased with the set-up. Clean and crisp. No distortion and lots of power when needed.

Haven't had the time to put it all in yet but I've got 4 Eclipse SE8375 3 way 5"x7" speakers, an Eclipse XA5000 5 channel amp and JL Audio Stealthbox with Image Dynamics IDQ10D2V2 sub waiting to go in.

I do have the Kenwood DDX-6019 head unit, KCA-BT100 bluetooth car kit, and KCA-GN510 Navigation unit installed though. Doesn't sound too bad with the stock speakers, and I love the way it all works together.

I got (2) 12" JL Audio subs with a Kenwood 1600W Amp in a custom box that replaced the back seat...sorta, I took the back of the seat out and left the bench part.
The stock speakers were replaced with Alpine 3-ways in rear doors and 2-way up front, with an Alpine HU
