Go to your local Ford Dealer and ask for the rear deck speakers for 2010 and up Taurus with Sony audio. If you want the best available 3 1/2" for the dash, get 2 of the front center speaker on the same, Trust me, that's what I'm running, and I love it.  For the price, I couldn't have one any better.  I still need some 6 1/2s for the doors, though.  I think the new Focus and Escape use 6 1/2s that match the other Sony audio parts Ford is using now.  Anyway, they're poly and have ports.

Kicker componet speakers sound really good.

I'm going to type this and pray the flames stay down but I've had good luck with PYLE. I put them all the way around in my ranger and 2 12" 1200 subs with an 1800 amp and they sounded decent and lasted through years of abuse.

If you just want some good sound and ease of purchasing, head down to wal mart and see if they still have some Pioneer 6x8's. I did finagle some 6x9's into my white car (along with a Fosgate 10" sub-all in the package shelf) but that was a lot of cutting I'd really rather not describe.

If you're going to have a bumpin system though, I'd probably spend a few more bucks and get some top level horns.

I like my Rockford fosgate speakers.  Don't recall but I'm sure it was under 1 bill. They are just for fill. The fronts do all the heavy load carrying.

Yes, they certainly are, ramair, especially the Sony equipped ones.  You should ask for a demo.  All our dept managers get demos.
my demo is the Transit delivery van :(

You'll have to modify (read; cut metal) to get the 6x9 to fit properly. Trust me, been there, done that, have the war wounds, lol.

I'd wait till you get your 6x8's, sell the Infinity's for a few bucks more and forget them lol
