I need some advice. I have a 2012 infiniti g37 sedan, it has 2 speakers in the door and 1 tweeter in the A pilar. My current hybrid audio speakers dont get as loud as I want them to so I am replacing them for something cheaper and louder. The speakers I will be replacing are the ones Bolded below. What should I replace them with? Looking for something loud and clear that will fit in my door without major modification.

I currently have:
Fi Q 15" subwoofer
audiocubed Q1-2200.2 Amplifier
2 L6SE midbase
2 L4SE midrange

2 L1proR2 tweeter
1 l3 for my center dashboard speaker
2 JL audio 300/4v2 amps
1 Bitone DSP

EDIT:
Which would you pick out of this selection. I went to Crutchfield I typed in my car and these were the selections I saw in 6.5 that is not coaxials

Alpine S-S65C - $140

Stephen's audio MB-6 midbass
Pioneer Pro 6-½" midrange

Not sure about that center channel speaker. You probably don't need it.

I was actually thinking about the Pioneer TS-M650PRO but those speakers look very deep. I dont think my g37 will have enough space. Im not cutting the grill out of my door panel

A good set of 6-½" components up front and 6-½" coaxials in the rear should be fine. You might not even need the coaxials in the rear.

I'm not of fan of these HAT speakers. Way overhyped. They don't get very loud either. The biggest audio mistake I've ever made was purchasing Hybrid audio products thinking paying 5x more for a speaker would result in 5x better quality. Dead wrong..

I mean they are full blown SQ speakers but if you want louder that's completely understandable. Are you sure it's not a tuning issue? The best sounding car I ever heard was the HAT demo car at SBN years ago. Thing gave me chills.

Do you want to stay 3 way active? Or going 2 way? If 3 way and still have good SQ I would get some SB acoustics raw drivers from Madisound. If full blow loud 2 way at low cost I would go PRV.

People like you are what made me buy HAT products but I was honestly not impressed. I also have loud bass and probably hearing loss. So maybe I dont hear all the frequencies as well. I don't know. I learned a high RMS speaker at 50% sounds better than these uber expensive speakers at 90%. Because they are not being stressed out. I want a speaker that can get really loud without being stressed out.
For now, my decision is the Alpine R-S65C.2 6.5 Inch Component 2-Way Speakers (link) because it can handle my 75RMS amp and ive had good experiences with alpine in the past. I'm still up to suggestions though. But mounting depth is a big issue. I dont want to cut a hole in my door panel mesh

Not to hijack but which model of sb acoustics would you run?
