Hmm im interest in a good set of door speakers because with the t-tops off its hard to hear them highs. I have a sub so bass is no issue, i just need better highs.. anyone recommend me a good 6.5 for highs?

I have the infinity kappa 60.5 components in my silverado. They sound great and are loud even though they are a little under-powered with my factory head unit. If you look around you can find them for about $200.

Update with photos. The system is complete.... almost:
Pioneer DEH-P77DH h/u drives cheapo 6.5 pioneer coax speakers in rear sail panels.
Steering wheel control adapter.
Pioneer GM-X572 amp driving door mounted CDT Audio CL-61A 6-1/2" Components.
Pioneer GM-7150 mono amp driving four JL 6" subs in Slim's 'vert enclosure.
Swapped in a t/a power antenna.
This setup kicks *** with the top down and cruising +70 MPH. I can hear and feel the whole range. The only thing I would consider changing is the rear speakers. If money grew on trees I would throw another set of CDT components in the rear and swap the two channel X572 amp for a four channel. I might just delete the rear speakers 'cause they dont do **** really.
I am filtering high pass, low pass etc via the H/U instead of the amp controls. Its easier to adjust that way. The 7150 amp came with a remote gain control that increases subwoofer output 0,6,9,12 dB on a rotary ****. Bitchen for when I raise and lower the softtop. 0dB for top up. Top down; 6dB for stop and go traffic, 9dB for ~75 MPH, and 12dB for checkin out the ladies
I know the Pioneer stuff isnt as exotic as most others post, but it gets the job done well for the $$.
Just need to put carpet on the amp cover and grills over the subs. Its done.
Thanks to those that helped above.
