i usually run PolkAudio DB's. they're low budget yet sound very clean. it's not super bright or super boomy so you get more of a flatter (it's not flat) response and fine tune your sound with eq to finish it up.

im going to be doing the 6.5" this spring. need the temps warmer so i dont shatter anything... ive learned my lesson on another car long time ago. hahaha.

As I understand 6.5" will work in the factory speaker hole. What about 6-3/4" ?

Do I need that spacer ring ?

Hybrid audio makes really great sounding, quality speakers. Even they're entry level "Clarus" line seems to be well liked.

Hybrids are ok. Actually their lower line sounds better (as far as mids go anyways) than their higher line.

I also agree with the Polk Audio choice. The DB's or MM's are great and can run off a factory amp reasonably well. Amping them with something more powerful is always recommended though.

The Polk Audio SR's are quite nice but are crazy power hungry. The crossovers that come with them are power whores! Avoid unless you have 150 watts+ going to each channel.

Great advice guys.. So far the Polks, for price and quality seem to be the choice..

If the speakers are rated for 125 RMS, what if my amp is pushing more than
that to each channel ? Will the crossover block that ?
