Don't forget about the usual brands...
Sony, Alpine, Kenwood, Pioneer, Polk, RF, etc. all make 5 1/4" speakers.

I just installed a pair of Polk 5 1/4s in my girlfriend's car and they
sound really nice.

You can use Crutchfield's "what fits my car" as a good starting point.
(If you don't think you might want to return the speakers and you don't
need any instructions or wiring harnesses, you can definitely save some
money by buying the speakers elsewhere.) Crutchfield definitely has
top-notch customer service and tech support, but it comes at a price.

I'm pretty sure SoundDomain also has a similar "what fits my car" tool.
  Don't remember for sure, though, because I usually only buy stuff from
there when I already know exactly what I'm looking for.
