Buy a 5 channel amp first, amp your stock speakers while putting a high pass crossover on them then add a subwoofer later on.

Speaker swaps within your budget usually results in sh*ttier than stock sound quality.

So here's a lowdown of what you are getting yourself into with cheap aftermarket speakers. If you dont follow these install techniques, the aftermarkets will sound like sh*t. You also need to add power along with a proper head head unit with proper audio functions. Stock head units have their own EQ cuve that is optimized for stock speakers not aftermarkets along with stock head units being extremely weak signal wise and power wise. If you were buying more expensive speakers, then it would be a bit more forgiving however its gonna be double to triple your budget.

hmm that means you have pretty low standards then by all means get those. Look into morel tempo or maximo if you want a higher quality but warmer laid back sound signature. Focal polyglass if you want brighter.

yeah thats the issue its not just the speaker's fault, its the door its going in. Thats why i listed those videos. Without doing that, you arent getting any kind of bass out of your speakers. You cant escape bad car acoustics, you cant fight physics plain and simple. Thats why i said most of the times aftermarket upgrades become a disaster for people because they dont grasp the concept of a proper install and tune and how BIIIIIIG of a difference it makes.
