speakers advice

I have the 2014 Frs, the headunit is the one with the touch screen. Not the brz one.

When i turn up the volume, the front speaker(infront of the windshield) gets a bit fuzzy and you would hear some noise, i would say its a bit disturbed noise. it only comes from the front speaker.

I have been reading about upgrades and OEM+ would sounds much better but for 1500$, i will pass on that one.

Searching around i think the cheaper alternatives would be replacing the speakers, i've read the door speakers are great so i probably won't replace those. probably only the front and the back(behind driver, next to rear passenger)

However, i know nothing about speakers, i know the wattage on the speakers let you push a X amount of wattage to the speaker. Without replacing the HU, just replacing speakers how many watts would i get a better sound to eliminate the noise the front speakers make?

In my previous car, I had those sony xpose speakers and i think it sounded great. Im not a heavy bass guy, so i wont be going with a sub, i would just like the sound to improve. please give me some suggestions of what speakers to get. thanks!

You cannot safely increase the hu watts without an amp. If using higher impedance speakers you can reduce the watts. If you are only replacing speakers, infinity makes some very nice lower impedance speakers. I recommend spending some time reading Crutchfield help articles. They are very good at getting people up to speed quickly, and using the proper jargon. Hoping that helps
