Default Audio upgrading

So just installed my alpine ixa-w407 with alpine imprint steering wheel interface and parking break interface, the stock speaker setup hates me now.... Didn't like the extra power.... Anyone look into components for the front either a set or custom? Need some god ideas... Want ideally a 8" mid/bass driver 4"mid and 1" tweet but could settle for 6x9 or 6.5... Biggest thing is I don't want to skimp on the three way set up we have! And I will be hooking whatever I get to an amplifier... Thanks for the help in advance!

Well
Where do i start,
I know a 8" in the lower cut out with a custom mount using the door as a IB works really well. you will need to cut the ring off the back of the lower speaker grill and drill the rest of the holes to let sound out. You will have 220mm of with to work with and 96 to 100mm of depth with a custom mount.
The 4" you have 105mm of with and 60mm of depth and mounted to the door steel behind the panel, a good full range will fit.
The tweeter is in a 40mm hole and you have 45mm of depth behind it and is mounted to the door panel.
I have use Dayton speakers and Seas tweeters and am very very happy with the sound of the Kenwood DNX 9960 deck we put in when first run in while i was building the rest.
Now running the signal threw audio control EQT's into a PPI Ax606.2 for the front and sub into a PPI A600.2 for power for 2 10"sub's....
Now its OMG difference in sound......
