[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8877131, member: 689267"] Assuming you have the basic OEM system where are you planning on mounting the midranges? Given the lack of installation experience, that is not only not an easy task, it's kind of a critical unit in a three way setup. 3 ohms, no amplifier, are very limiting factors and any of the speakers you have selected will work. I'd take them in the following order. Sony, Kicker, JBL. What OEM system did the truck come with? At the end of the day, with todays factory systems, upgrading just the speakers will only marginally improve the overall system. You're going to spend $300 for a $200 improvement over the factory. Better, but not a lot better. If I were using passive setups, for cost and benefits, I would pay to have an amplifier installed that will work with the factory radio and retin the functions if that is what you want. All off Amazon, can't get more return friendly than that.
