If you're going to stick with head unit power, you'l be restricted to the lower range of speakers.. I personally tried a set of Infinity Reference components (I had them on an amp ... but they are probably in the proper class) and I actually disliked them compared to the crappy OEM speakers. Right now I am running the OEM speakers with a Pioneer Headunit in "Network Mode*" and to tell you the truth, I am actually happy with it and probably will stick with them for a while. I am not an audiophile though, so your mileage may vary.
Network Mode: Allows me to re-purpose the unused rear 22w channels for the door speakers and get the front 22w channels for the dash speakers. The headunit has crossover functionality and I have the speakers crossed at 8khz.
