5x7 is factory, and some 6x8's will fit. I've heard you can jam a 6x9 in
there, but have yet to see/hear one. Probably looks like ass... hehehe. On
the low price end (but good quality) I've seen the Polk Audio stuff on sale for
pretty cheap. About 60 bucks for a pair at Best Buy or Circuit City, whoever
is whoring them that week. ;) Real nice sound for the money. There's always
Pioneer, Sony, and Jensen, too. Watch for clearance stuff at Wal-mart there.
A lot of times, they just change model #'s for the year, and you can get a damn
good price on them.
When I was shopping for new speakers, the best sounding (to me *disclaimer!* my
ears) higher end was Cerwin Vega, Alpine, and Infinity. You start getting into
150 a pair for those. Paying that much money for a pair of 5x7's, I could have
gone big and got boxes with 10" woofers to get some real bass for about another
100 bucks. You mentioned going to the river and having some tunes.... I had my
truck boxes wired with about 12 feet of extra Monster Cable so I could drag
them out of the truck for the exact same reason. Stick 'em on the roof, in the
bed, whatever. New Sony deck has a remote (that I thought was totally useless
until then). I'm getting on a rant defending my boxes..... so back to your
question. If you're set on going with the factory setup using an amp, I'd look
at some 5x7's/6x8's from Polk, Cerwin Vega, Alpine, and Infinity!
