Just for info I have Focal components front, coaxial Focals rear, Focal 10" Sub and Alpine amps running them The speakers we recommend and install at a cheaper price point are the Hertz range of speakers. Will promise to get those prices to you tomorrow

Ok guys.
Two recommendations for you. Firstly Hertz DSK165 component speakers at £99.95 plus £5.00 p&p Lots of members on here have bought these and I have installed plenty. These are a good upgrade sound quality wise on even the Harman Kardon high line speakers but at a modest cost The coaxial versions Dcx-165 are ideal for the rear doors at £59.95 plus £5.00 p&p Moving up a notch we get into the Focal speakers. The P165V15 components at £199.95 plus £5.00 p&p are in every way a great entry into the world of higher end car audio. They are very efficient and will work straight from standard head units but will love you even more with an amp upgrade to drive them. Both Focal and Hertz do other speakers at varying price points should you wish to take your car audio further still

Nope but they would sound even better if you did

All depends on how you value bass underpinning your music against losing boot space I use a 10" Focal passive sub driven off an Alpine mono amp. I've used a speakon connector so I can instantly remove the sub should I need the boot space back. Let me know what your thoughts are on subs and I'll price up some that fit your requirements

What are your views on the door tweeters, please? Are you saying it's sufficient just to replace the main speakers in the doors with better units?

Component speakers are speakers with a bass/mid driver and a seperate tweeter controlled by a crossover box
