Default Front speaker upgrades any advice?

Hi guys I've been reading through the forums and everyone says the best thing to do is to replace the front speakers first as the best bang for the buck in the Z.

I'm not looking for anything groundbreaking, just a decent upgrade for fuller sound, anybody have any good sets they are happy with?

Also, I was going to start out with stock headunit and replace it later this year, so I should a get an amp or crossover type stuff? Also I know alot of people tune down or turn off the rear speakers, so I know that is one thing to start out with to see how it might improve sound for me.

Thanks for any tips.

Also anyone know any good Z installers in Southern California? I was thinking of matting the doors up if rattle becomes an issue but don't want to do that myself.

Seems there's already a thread on this, probably this question gets asked every week.

These Diamond Audio speakers look good, but where would the crossovers go?
