Default speaker recommendations?

I have a 98 A4, stock speakers all round (Delta radio) and a Rockford 10" powered by a Punch 45x2.

I'm really happy with the sub, but the speakers are nowhere near able to take any kind of bass levels. I'm looking to spend about $200 to replace the front (components) and rear speakers. What would you recommend, and is this too little to spend?

Thanks

Default replace the headunit too... it's a POS!

plus why get good speakers when you are feeding them crap sound from that headunit. PLus it's got some discombobulated setup where there is an amp on the left rear speaker, but I think the front speaks are powered by the headunit.

Do this:
get a decent headunit, a decent set of 5.25 components up front, and a small amp to run them. The sound with just that and your 10" sub will be amazing... I curse myself for even messing with the back speaks.

you'll spend @ least that much on the front component. it's a personal preference; go listen to some

I upgraded to Infinity Kappas (fr & rear). Better than OEM & relatively cheap from eBay.
