System will be going in a 2002 expedition. Not looking for anything big just 4 5x7s with a small amp that can get pretty loud and maybe 1 8" or a 10" sub. Any suggestions?

Subs for bass>oval speakers for anything.

I would suggest a sub or two, what's the budget?

i guess around $100-150 for a 10". not really looking for something loud. won't be in my car so just something simple.

This is only $145, I know you said 8 or 10, but this has rediculous sound quality and doesn't require a ton of space or power.

ok, thanks for that. but back to the speakers, which 5x7"s or 5 1/4"s will get loud and sound good?

trying not to spend more than about 150-200 for front speakers. will need 2 sets of either 5 1/4s or 5x7s. i was looking at the infinity kappas, they have some 5x7s rated at 100wrms...anyone have any experience with those?

Well most people on here will tell you Infinitys are too harsh, but I like my highs, well HIGH. As for the size, again most people will tell you to go with a round speaker but if you are going to high pass them then it won't matter. Ford uses 5x7s in like every car, so I'm going with 5x7s in the back of my explorer just because I don't want to make any spacers and they will be for rear fill and no bass/midbass.
