Default STi 8 Speaker advice please.

I'm so fed up with the standard speakers in my STi 8 I want to upgrade them. I'm not really interested in putting amps or such like in but just want a better sound from the standard CD player.
If the CD player is crap would I be better upgrading that also?

Can anyone recommend speakers that will do the job ? Also do i need to replace the rear door ones aswell What size are the front and rears.

Any advice frrom anyone thats upgraded theirs ?

Thanks
Jas

After hours of research I couldnt find and speakers that didn't need spacers for my 03sti.
I used a 12mm MDF spacer, don't go any thicker cos the cone will hit on the door card.
I fitted infinity 6000cs with about 5mm spare between the magnet and window, about as close as I wanted to get. The 6000cs's are very shallow (53mm) as well for a decent 6 1/2" speaker.

As for the rears, don't bother I didnt. Go for decent fronts.

6000cs fitted

crossover velcro'd to door
