I will disagree in a way that may seem radical. If you do not have good, clean amplification and a great head unit, it will not matter if you put FOCAL woofers and ScanSpeak tweeters in the car. It will still sound like crap.

Focus on the front end, then the amps, and finally on the speakers. Or do them all at once. Speakers are only as good as the stuff that precedes them. Audio 101.
