Seriously bad ass component speakers, NOT cheap.

I have a mix of DIY style speakers in a 3 way that I put together myself. All running active obviously.

My latest evolution if you care to know consists of Nakamichi sp-80 midbasses, older JBL GTi 4" midrange/or (2 per side) 3" Tang Bands with Bamboo cone and Vifa xt25 tweeters. Still waiting on (2) Acoustic Elegance 15" IB, but so far running Boston G5 in vented enclosure. All powered by old PPi (2) Art a600.2 and a404.

good stuff. The HA you didn't like, were they the Legatia? What exactly did you not like about them? Just curious on your opinion.

$25 vifa walks all over his ring radiator. 4" midrange is dull and lifeless even on axis. Midbass is nothing to write home about either. This is in a solid install that took a week to complete.

But not insane money, either.

These are very close to the best performing speaker ever made, certainly top 5 in this size. I ave no clue if they will fit the stock locations.

So what would be your top five in this size?

Cant see any reason to choose anything other than:

because there can be better. Nothing is universal in car audio because not every car is the same.

But all of them need a is-lip ;)

I have zero respect for most Focal product. No midbass, shrill upper midrange, piss poor power handling and worst of all is the damn treble. Might as well have banshees in your car, especially if you have anything but Utopias...no love at all for that overpriced crap.
