Try something from Image Dynamics, Elemental Designs or CDT

Best suggestion so far. Elemental's speakers (sans subwoofers) are designed by CDT as well. I have been using CDT speakers for years and feel they do offer the best set up in a component set (tweeters, woofers, crossovers in one package). There are many others that offer great packages including ADS, Focal, MB Quart, Dynaudio etc. I would stay away from the big box store brands as you can do much better for your money elsewhere. If your willing to add electronic crossovers you can build your own component set with very nice speakers for relatively low cost.
DIY Mobile Audio - DIY Mobile Audio is a great place to read up on avaialble speakers and how to implement them in your vehicle. I do agree that Elemental will offer you great bang for the buck with a simple to install package. The DIY route does take hours of tuning to get right but offers increadible sound when finished. I am no expert on the DIY route but the gentlement over at DIY audio are always willing to help (they helped me turn my CDT set into an actively crossed component set and it sounds much better than when I had it set up with passives) One thing to note when installing aftermarket speakers is that you should sound dampen the doors before upgrading the speakers. You will be surprised how mcuh better even your factory speakers will sound in a properly dampened door.
EDIT: Also CDT offers "braxial" style mounting if you were considering coaxial style speakers. The braxials reportedly sound much better than standard coaxial although I have no personal experience with them to say otherwise.
