Why are you upgrading the 4x6's as opposed to the 6.5s?
I don't even have 4x6s in my truck. You don't need them
Take em out, you'll never know theyre there.

^^agreed, you want your vocals to come from in front of you not beside your head. Just get a quality set of components for the front doors and leave the 4x6's disconnected.
Also, in reference to your other thread the bose speakers are 8 ohm so trying to run them on a radio that does 7-10 watts at 4ohm was getting them next to nothing on power and that is why they probably didnt sound that impressive.

All you need to know about pre amp voltage is the higher it is the cleaner the signal to your amp which in turn makes it sound cleaner. Therefore for people that are going to run aftermarket amps, the higher the pre amp voltage the better, especially when running an amp for door speakers.
As for which 6.5's to get there are quite a few to choose from. Are you wanting coax or components? Do you like harsh/piercing highs or smooth subtle highs? Do you want lots of midbass or not much? And finally how much power and what amp do you plan to run them on? These questions will help narrow down the choices.
