So when ever I drive my FR-S, I get reminded on how poor the sound quality is from the factory system. I replaced all the speakers and HU in my daily driver (Yaris), so I know it's not a fair comparison...but with that said, I want to get better sound quality in the FR-S without replacing the HU or adding any amps. I'm thinking of starting with the dash speakers. So my question is, which of these two speakers would be a better choice for me? My music sources are mainly radio and USB with the occasional BT. I have a simple 8" Bazooka tube in the trunk to fill in some of the bass as well.

From what I've read in this sub-section, the mounting depth should not exceed 2", which neither of these do. But I will have to cut off two of the mounting tabs on them. I also see that people have used both sizes as well.
