Help me decide speaker upgrade

I can't decide on which speakers to buy to upgrade my front and rear door speakers. I have the premium 6 disk non audiophile radio with no intent to add a sub-woofer. Although, later if I found the audiophile radio and factory sub for my truck I could add that. I'm looking for simple plug and play speakers that I won't have to modify door panels.

These are the ones I'm looking at:

http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Produ...ems=01|065SL80

Infinity Reference 6822cf

Polk Audio db571

Boston Acoustics S85

Boston Acoustics SL80

I'm open to other models as well.

Thanks,
Bob

I would go with components. something like these

http://www.crutchfield.com/p_107DB65...owAll=Y&tp=106

http://www.crutchfield.com/p_091130A...owAll=Y&tp=106

These are just some options. The tweeters will fit in the stock openings. I would add an amp. But if you don't want to add an amp and are set on coax try the polk db 571's.

I went with components. I had to enlarge the factory tweeter hole, but it's short work with the right tool. I have the SL80s in my rear doors and they're real good speakers for their size.

I have Polk DB 570's, which are very similar to the 571's. I want to try components so let me know how they sound.

Thanks for the input so far. I don't think I'll go the component route. I'm wanting to keep it as simple as possible.

Polk DB's are simple yet GREAT sounding. They have good bass and perfect high's, but im Polk fanatic.

That's probably what I"ll end up getting. I've read about them on here and everybody seems to like them. Bob

update: i'm going to order these tonight from crutchfield with the boom mat speaker baffles. Let you know how it goes.
