Which 6.5" inch door speakers?
Discussion
JL Audio do several but I've found the C2-650x pretty good although it doesn't have much low bass. Would be a good replacement but I'd replace the headunit at the same time otherwise you wont see any advantage of the improved source.

Oooh asking any question about car audio on the internet is risky, you have *NO* idea what a nest of fan boys and complete and total tossbags you're exposing yourself to.
More helpfully, I've used Infinity speakers in the past for simple upgrades as they are very efficient so can get the most out of a standard head unit with no amp. You're looking for the efficiency rating in dB/watt of the speakers.

I don't really want to spend over £150 and I listen to all kinds of music so something that's reasonably good all round if possible?then budget

Simple answer, which will no doubt be ridiculed...
The speakers that will perform the best, in a a standard system (assuming you have a factory headunit), will be OEM replacements of exactly the same speaker you have.
People are linking to speakers that are upto 80wrms. Your standard OEM headunit will provide these speakers 10-15wrms at best. There is absoloutely no point in spending £150 on speakers with such power handling.
OEM speakers are designed to be extremely light and efficient, with paper cones, or extremely thin polypropylene that will go "Loud" off the very limited power that a standard headunit provides. Yes, there are efficient speakers out there, infinitys have always been noted for this; and if you had an upgraded headunit that might provide 20wrms per channel (ignore the 4x60w lies) then, yes, they will make a difference.
If you are prepared to spend £150 and actually do want an improvement in sound buy a very basic 2 channel amp for £40-50 which will produce a genuine 50wrms per channel and then buy something like the infinitys that have been recommended and some gubbins to run the amp from the standard system, assuming that it is integrated and could not be replaced by a single din headunit.

Yes but no , even if you change you get improved sound quality.The speakers that will perform the best, in a a standard system (assuming you have a factory headunit), will be OEM replacements of exactly the same speaker you have.

With components you should really use an amp to power them to get the full benifits.
To the OP , infinity kappas should be fine for your budget ,make sure you amp them .a 400 watt amp will suffice
