Even I would tell you to stay with factory 5x7/6x8. Since you're not likely to spend that much time in your truck other than whats necessary and for the simplicity. The higher ohm speakers from Ford will offer you the best sound for a NON amplified application for the best bang for the buck and time saved during installation.
Round is better because there is more control over the driver at both lower and higher volumes resulting in far less distortion. Combined with different materials for magnets and of cones made from Kevlar, paper type, or poly type materials also can in effect add warmer or flatter tones.
Thats why I have a hard time interjecting brands of speakers anymore because everyone hears something different. People who are or become more atoned to sound quality learn what to look for in sound staging, focal points, imaging, and overall sound quality becomes a learning curve and usually flatter in sound to where most people wouldnt listen to it as such everyday. If I offer a suggestion of brand its generally in conjunction with a quality and service aspect in mind. I dont follow trends or badge buying crushes of big box stores for the purpose of what USED to be great is generally now in comparison despite technology advances in some cases.
Keep it simple, you'll enjoy it longer and less is more. You're not competing...
