Most good components start at $250.00. Take a look at Focal, Pioneer Premier, Rainbow. Speakers are very subjective, you need to listen to the different ones an make your own decision.

I got an email this morning from Sonic. They have these Polk MOMO on sale. What do you think?

I've been running Infinity Reference for about 10 years on different vehicles. The Vette got Infinity Kappa's. I don't like the Kappa Perfects due to the metal tweeter. To me its to sharp for high sounds.

I can get you a set of DLS UP6 6.5 comps with silk dome tweets for about 300+ shipping. VERY NICE speakers.
If it were me, I'd go with those, the DLS UR6 set, or the Polk SR6500 series either way, your gonna spend 3-4 hundred, but at least your going to get high end sound. What kind of amps are you running?
Oh, and yes, stay away from Ebay & their bootleg seconds, very bad idea...
I can get DLS amps & speakers for dealer cost + shipping from Hawaii, and TRU Technology amps as well. All from a reputable dealer here on Oahu.

I went with the Focal Access components and if I remember correctly I paid ~$125. I have been very happy with them. To me they really shine in songs with some acoustic guitar. I typically listen to heavy metal (Korn, Mudvayne, Metallica, Slipknot, etc.) and these speakers don't get bogged down at all like the stock Bose did.
My complete setup is a Kenwood DNX5120 HU, Kicker ZX 650.4 amp, Focal Access 6.5" components, no rear speakers, JL 10W3v3 sub.
This is by far the best audio setup I have ever had in a vehicle but I am by no means an experienced high end audio guy. I was just looking for a setup that would sound great and clear at 80mph with the top off and windows down. My setup accomplished that for me.
