front stage upgrade?

[timmyjimmy5150 10+ year member]

I have a ford f150 Supercrew--- I currently have Boston Acoustics RC820 component speakers in all 4 doors..... Here are the speaker specs and I have the tweets flush mounted high in the door corners:

5 x 7" woofer with AMD

Neo 3r Kortec dome-flush mount tweeter....

Now.... Pushing these speakers I have a Pioneer Avic-D1 head unit and a JL 450/4 amp.

I also have a JL amp 250/1 pushing a 10 inch JL sub.......

Now I want to UPGRADE my front stage sound with better component speakers and replace the front stage Bostons......

The rear Bostons will stay as fill sound.....

I HAVE $600 to spend on a set of comps.... What should I get to have the JL 450/4 push?

I mainly listen to hard rock/ classic rock music

Any thoughts?

What about Diamond 6.5 comps?

Focal?

focal r good as well, a little bright in the highs though, due to the metal tweet

Theyre bright in general, some like it, some dont. But its not all about material used. Ive heard my fair share of more mellow sounding harddomes.

it's really all in the tunning..I've heard great focal setups "steve heads civic" and I've heard focal setups that make me want to play in traffic...I will say that if you could get the Be's IMO a better driver and tweeter than the rainbows....

How about a nice set of Profi's with about 160wrms running through them...
