Replacing Speakers in 06 Volvo S80. No sub.

[kabosh 10+ year member]

I want to replace the speakers in my 2006 volvo S80. I am not going to be installing a sub so I want a setup that is clean and has decent mid bass. I am very new when it comes to high end speakers instead of subs as I have only focused on bass until now. According to this link

I have 6.5s in both doors components in front and coaxials in back. The site says 1 8 inch in rear deck center but i have two speakers in the back panel. So I am assuming there 6.5s as well but not entirely sure... I figured that i would focus on a good front door with the Components. probably unhook the rear door speakers and get some really nice coaxials for the rear panel. What I'm wondering is what I should go for that will lean toward bass heavy and clean. I will also need to get an amplifier for all 4. lets say my budget is 250 per set and same for the amplifier. Also if anyone can help me identify the real speaker sizes i have in the rear deck? Thanks in advance and I apologize up front for my lack of knowledge :-/ Any more information required that I did not mention then please ask.

For the rear deck speaker openings you will need to get back there and make some measurements. It would be helpful to take clear pictures and post them online so we can scout out what you have to work with.

Mounting depth looks to be restricted to roughly 2.5" in the front and that includes speaker adapter brackets that bring the aftermarket speakers out a small amount away from the metal of the doors. This makes it quite a challenge to fit a speaker that can play any kind of bass. 60ish Hz on up is reasonable with sound deadening to help make the doors a better home for the speakers.
