if there is one thing you dont want to cheap out on, its speakers.

6.5" the whole way round. if money is tight, go with a nicer set up front and cheaper in the rear. Infinity, Eclipse, Kicker, all good choices (personal experience)

+1 for Infinity and Rockford.

I went the cheap way and got a set of 6.5 inch Sony Xplods....I'm an idiot, decent quality though.

Go to some audio stores and take a listen. As you can see you're getting many different suggestions. One person mentioned Alpine and I will gladly pass by most anything Alpine. They do not sound good to me and are too much for what they deliver IMO.

I will second Infinity,Polk and Focal. If you're l33t, check out Seas Lotus.

Focal if you can afford the K2 powers. Polk and Boston are ok. I've also heard good things about MTX's new line.

Are you getting an amp too?

yeah i was gonna get an amp eventually. probably rockford fosgate b/c i already have 2 punch p1 subs that i'm gonna put in. i haven't taken them out of the box yet so i was kinda playing with the idea of selling those and picking up some polk subs so that my sound system would be all polk
