First upgrade your HU for better quality sound.

All depends on your budget if you have about £150 id get some thing like theis

Focal http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Focal-165A3-1...nment_GPS_Car_Speakers_PP&hash=item3cb626045c

Rainbow http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RAINBOW-13CM-...nment_GPS_Car_Speakers_PP&hash=item2c58afe54e


Hertz http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HERTZ-ENERGY-...nment_GPS_Car_Speakers_PP&hash=item1c17663aff



All very good mid price speakers. But to get best out of them you would probably need a decent head unit and maybe a small amp

Absolutely pointless spending £150 on a set of speakers unless you are going to amp them.
As Sheepish has said either change the headunit (your source gives you your quality) or amp them off the original

I want to keep it looking standard so maybe i should amp the original HU

Im the same as you two, i don't want to change the HU but id like better sound.
Would i get away with something like this in the doors;

Alpine type g (lower end of alpine) but should be still quite good cost you about £70-80

Alpine type g (lower end of alpine) but should be still quite good cost you about £70-80

You think Alpine are better than Hertz?

 

[Cup172LEE]

Probably very similar at the lower price range best bet is read a few reviews on all the products you like the look of in your price range. I prefer components to coax, but u might be able to use the original tweeters what are mounted on the top of your dash, Also some audio shops might have a few samples you can listen to.

Hertz dieci range are a good budget speaker then team them up with a decent 50w rms amp, I have been selling a lot of the dieci range atm, not been beaten on price yet should you decide to purchase them in particular
