I just redid my system in the Crew Cab.  I put Pioneer TS-A6964R 6x9's in the rear corners and 3.5" Infinity X REF-3002cfx's in the front corners.  I tried putting 4" Infinities in the front (previous front speakers were 4") and while I could get the RH one to fit the LH one wouldn't without some surgery on the metal part of the dash (the Infinity speakers had much larger magnets).  I didn't want to butcher it up, so I went back to the 3.5".

I coupled those with the new Pioneer DEH-P9400BH receiver that has Bluetooth and HD radio built in.

I think it sounds great!  I don't drive around trying to impress everyone with my music, but I can turn it up pretty loud and it is clear and crisp.  I was very selective in my speakers though.  One of the most important things is that you pick speakers that have the same sensitivity ratings.  I also chose the Pioneer 6x9's because they had the widest frequency response.  The Infinity X-Ref speakers are also very high-quality and come with high-pass filters integral to the speakers to protect the tweaters.
