I used Alpine components in my S-Pods with stock head unit. I think they work great. I paid about $130 for them from Crutchfield.

Some people find Infinity components to be a little harsh. I would recommend listening to them before purchase if possible. I've had them in cars before though, and I liked the sound.

What is the sensitivity rating/threshold on the specs of the speaker that I should look for?

Minimum of 90 (@ 1V/1M....some rate at 2. (something) V/1M). The higher the better. Also, look for cone material that is as LIGHT as possible (reinforced paper pulp, aluminum, etc.). This will provide better bass response in the higher volume areas.
