I have a set of Infinity Reference in the truck. 7+ years and still sound great. I recently acquired a newer set for the Tahoe. They will be replacing some Crossfire Audios I got on the cheap at a local shop. They have good mid/high but lack low end so I would not recommend them for a full range application.

For under $200, I really like CDT's. If you don't like the look of those, take a look at DLS or the JL Evolution's. For a bit over $200, take a look at Rainbow SLX's, Hertz (tread carefully), Focal Integration series, or Arc Audio KS's. I recently heard a set of Crossfire's new SR6 components that run in the mid-$100's, and they actually sounded pretty good for the price, to my surprise. I haven't heard enough of them to actually give you a good review, though. I'm sure you'll be satisfied with just about any quality product, unless you're some audiophile, but those are my personal favorites for quality/sound. Are you running an amp to these? If not, you definitely need one. Having a set of components that aren't on an amp, is like having a full-blown race build with no tune--world of difference.
