Good! So am I. There are factory speaker locations on either end of the dash. I am not sure what size, though (3.5" I think). I think even the center dash speaker is 3.5 inches as well. I only know this because of some of the posts here and on other forums. But Alpine and Blaupunkt are good choices. I am a Pioneer fan myself. The only thing I can tell you is to listen. Check out your local car stereo stores and listen for yourself. Anyone can tell you that x brand is the best, according to THEIR tastes. Find out what YOU like and what you can afford. Sometimes upgrading the speakers and retaining your factory head unit is plenty. Higher-end speakers are recommended to be amplified (components especially). Some of my many recommendations that are well-priced include Pioneer, Infinity, Polk Audio, Kenwood, and MTX just to name a few. I have a set of Polk Audio MOMO components and Coaxials that I will be installing in my Reg. Cab. I have no stock rear speaker locations so I will incorporate them into my sub enclosure which will house MTX Thunder 8500 10" subs. I have yet to decide on amplifiers. Good luck!
