What do you guys recommend I upgrade the interior speakers with? I know MB QUART are the best, but don't want to invest $500 for just for a pair of speakers. What about:

Infinity Kappa Perfect 6.1?
How are Power Acoustik's Amps?
How about Crunch VU Series Amps?

You can see in my sig what I have for subs, so take that into account please.

------------------
01 CL-S Navi - Black/Ebony
Alpine MRV-1507 V12 Amp - Tested @ 1,237 Watts RMS - 2,078 Watts Max
2x Alpine 12" Type R - Custom Enclosure
Escort Passport 8500

 

MB-Quart are FAR from the best....

Over all those speakers you just listed, I would go with the Pioneer PRS components made of polykevlar...they will blow any one of those away that you just listed...they are all decent speakers, but these PRS components kick ass and are probably more affordable than my TOP choice which would be FOCAL UTOPIA....I do carry most lines, so just shoot me an email if interested

I would like to recommend the Focals, I am saving up to get a set myself!

------------------
97 2.2 Cl
Clear signals, pioneer P8000 cd player, 4 12" Kicker Competition, Old school punch 100

 

I agree Focal are the best but usually their top of the line price is a little steep unless you can find a hook up. I have the Xtants which are 500 a pair, and their allright, they are better than the boston pros, and about even with the perfect 6.1's but the xtants come with triple neodymium magnets which means they are very shallow and very efficient

------------------
mods include:
Xtant 6.5" components front and rear
xta603x
2 xtant 12" X series subs
plexi box front and rear with 2way mirror, sliding amp rack
clifford avant guard 4 alarm

 

CDT component sets are much cheaper yet rank among the best in class, I run the HD52ST set right now with 150 watts rms per side and they are clear, but I am thinking I will want louder so my next set will be 6.5s with 200-250 or so.
They also have a set of components under the HD series that was not available when I purchased mine that have been praised very well.

a/d/s is an excellent sounding driver in their upper component series from many years.

Diamond Audio Hex and even Motorsport, I believe it is the Motorsport-correct me if I am wrong, line have recieved very high reviews.

Of course the Focal Utopia is an excellent series as well as the polyglass and polykevlar, although I have never had the pleasure of demoing a Focal driver.

Rainbow Pro and Referance series will make you wet yourself.

Many good things come to mind when an Oz Audio Matrix driver is mentioned.

That aught to be a good start for you, however there are many more brands out there with phenominal(sp?) sound....Morel, Scanspeak, Vifa...well you get the idea.

Anything is possible.
