Default 6-1/2" Speaker Suggestions?

On a budget but would like to find some pretty decent 6-1/2" speakers to put in the front doors of my pickup. I'd prefer something that may give the factory system a little bit more bass than the factory speakers which have blown from the previous owner. Any suggestions on what to look into?

How much are you looking to spend, give a price range and you can get a good range of suggestions. I would suggest polk db651, which are $100 a pair.

Can't go wrong with Infinity, Rockford Fosgate, or Alpine. Three of the best.

I was really looking to spend under $75 if possible. This is for my daily driven 2000 Chevy Z71.

I just found those exact ones on Ebay for a really good price. I may go ahead and purchase them. Thanks a lot for the suggestion.

the db6501 are about $115 a system at amazon. thats what i plan on getting around christmas break. you can hear those at your local circuit city. they are very, very good speakers, although i didn't test them for bass. honestly, most good aftermarket speakers aren't as good in that area since thats not what they are made for.

^ trtue about radio, didnt think of that, although we do have an amp factory so it probably could play them ok. then get a $50 amp in a bit when you get the extra cash.

but birds have a separate tweeter in the door so that wouldn't be a problem at all.
