Hi

My car has had a program of dynamatting all round, and got a nice focal amp & rock fos sub. Focal amp runs fronts & sub, rear alpine coaxes drivn by head, this isn't an issue as it's only fill in really

But it is running original speaker in the front. To be fair they sound OK as many car speakers do when dynamatted & amped, but as part of a program of refurbishment where I am changing the head unit and adding a reverse camera, I thought I might as well change the fronts.
There are lots of options around £200-£250, from Focal, Audison, Rainbow, JL, I almost exclusively listen to dance music with lots of bass. Amp is 60W RMS Focal
Any suggestions for a suitable component set, car is a Maserati GT
Thanks

I use Infinity speakers but they do not sell the Perfect Range in the UK but they sound great & the tweeters are brilliant nowhere near harsh.

Would've thought at that price point it would be a good idea to go and have a listen to a couple of sets. Found it helpful when I did it.

True you can't audition them in your car but you can listen to them on dealers display board which will give you an idea of the sound they produce, otherwise you could end up with a set from a recommendation and absolutely hating the sound of them. I know I'm biased for and against certain brands, so I assume others are to. Also most dealers will have a demo car that may contain the brands you're short listing, always worth a listen to them.
