well for subs most people on here will probably mention kicker (Not my choice) ssince you can get a box sub and amp pretty cheap.But i feel like there is alot better. With you having an extended cab sub choice is kind of limited. but i would recommend the rockford p3s. i had one of the older ones in my truck a couple years ago.
Rockford Fosgate P3SD4-12 12" Dual 4-ohm Punch Stage 3 Series Shallow Subwoofer
possibly this amp
Rockford Fosgate Punch P400-1 Monoblock Car Amplifier/Amp (P4001)
then just buy a pre built box for underneath the seat
for door speakers i would say just look online for the same ones to buy.

stay away from brand like eclipse, MB quart, etc. their junk, theres much better products out there for the money. when it comes to audio, you get what you pay for. stick to the higher end brands. JL, Morel, etc.
Side note, if you really want to go highend, I have a line on some Morel component sets flown in from Israel. 2500$ a pair. thats a deal. i put a set in a benz, dopest sounding door speakers ive ever heard.

You don't have enough air space under your ex cab seat for two of those P3s without modification. I would do one. Or look at sundown audio. There E series is extremely good for under seat set ups. You have enough room for a lot of different tens if you want to go dual subs 12s you normally don't with out raising your seat. You will want to match the amps rms rating to the subs rms power handling. Never look at max wattage. For a box look at subthump.com.
If it was my truck I would do two sundown e 10s in a sub thump box on about 500 Watts. A good amP would be the alpine mrp-m500
Speaker wise go to a local store and listen around. I personally like the alpine s series for a good value speaker.
Maybe eventually look at adding an amp on your speakers to for more volume and clarity. A 4 channel will push all 4 speakers at wattage a stock radio or aftermarket couldn't think about pushing.
