Personally i prefer the Infinity Referance speakers, they have about the best Signal-to-noise ratio of most speakers in it's price range. However, they can be expensive. The 6.5" are going to run about $100 for one pair. I've had the 5-1/4" for my front and rear (they are bout $10-20 cheaper) for about a year in my old accord and they are amazing.
Tip for putting in the speakers, be very careful not to jump the screw head with the screwdriver. Would advise against using an electric for putting them in. Why? VERY VERY easy to slip and destroy the cone or surronds of the speaker. A screwdriver will go through them really easy. Just be careful and you'll be fine. Took me about 10 mins to put in my fronts and 15 more mins to put in my rears.

I one up and recommend the Infiniti's. I have them and they are really good, they have nice and really clear mids and highs.
You should be able to find the fronts and rears for the Infiniti Reference at around $165 total if you bargain with them somewhat. Instructions are given with the speaker on how to install them so you should be fine. Just be careful.

Yeah you are gonna probably want to get an amp for the components or any aftermarket speaker if she likes it loud.
As far as installing goes- the 2-way or 3-way coaxial speakers (means tweeter sitting with woofer on same axis) are pretty much plug and play depending on what depth they are.
For components (woofer in stock location, separate tweeter) installing the woofer will be relatively easy but finding a place for the tweeter might be a little difficult.
My first install were infinity 605cs components and it took me two days to do it. Mainly because i had to go out and get alot of parts like wire, door panel remover, etc...
have fun...
