Speaker Recommendations
I am interested to know what are the preferred models of speakers for a C5 that is keeping the stock head unit and amp. I am looking for a nice improvement in sound quality and volume. Could someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks for the help.

I listened to several and decided to go with the Focal 165K2P components. I haven't installed them yet but when I do I will only be running a front stage. For subs I will be running two JL 10W6v2 subs.

I love Focal 165W's and the new replacement, but unaffordable now. I purchased the new Boston Acoustic Z6"s, 6 1/2" ( $1,000). Not cheap, but one of the best out there along with Focal, DynAudio, etc. I love the JL 10W6v2, but it can't keep up with the 10W7 in performance so I purchased that with the JL 500.1 sub amp. I also have an Audison running the front stage.

Yeah..like Cajundude said, you should put the better speakers/components in the front. Rear fill is up to you, but you should at least try to get some 5.25" or 6.5" components in the front, if possible. And get a nice 2-channel amp for them.
