Need some sound advice

I'm pretty much a rookie when it comes to audio equipment and I need a little help deciding between component speakers and regular speakers for my 2000 Superduty SC.
I currently have a completely stock system (AM/FM/Tape/CD).
I am looking to have a better sound that I can turn up a little louder. The factory speakers seem to distort at moderate levels.
Please note, I am NOT looking to win any contests, just want better sound and a little more volume. I guess I'm willing to spend a couple hundred bucks or so.

the positive with regular (or coaxial) speakers is that they are a snap to install in the existing hole. the good thing about component speakers is, while its a little more work running wires, installing the crossover, etc., is that you can place the tweeter anywhere you want, for better separation and imaging. a lot of the component speakers now have swiveling tweeters, so you can dial them in after installation, and they look super clean when they're flush mounted. i have had good luck with infinity and rockford fosgate component speakers, as well as eclipse. any of those should run you no more than $250 for a decent set before installation (I do my own installs.. saves some money
