I have 2 questions for you...
1. Does anyone know these speakers?
2. Does anyone have a better idea?
(ps - a subwoofer would be one step too far for my wife, so don't even suggest it! She thinks that car boots are for other things
)

from my experience, any high rated speaker without amplifier will sound worst than the stock speakers because you will only hear the mid/bass clearly at high volume but the treble would dominate the music at that point. it wont sound good. focal and infinity included - i used both.
how about this? (http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/products/25/132/201/TS-1776II/index.html) 3-way is good. treble, mid and bass.

the stock radio have 50w per channel ratings right? about 25w rms? that speaker seems okay for the stock HU but you still need a amp to hear its full potential. try getting a lower rated speaker that the HU can powered easily. it will sound "better" because the mid/bass will be there even at low volume. so the music will sound "complete" tho not best.

Sorry, but I have to interject.
What a load of rubbish.
50w, 25w, The reality would be closer to 5 or 6 RMS.
As for the power handling of the speaker, this has very little to do with how it sounds.
Please, go read up on dB/w/m, Xmax, power calculations, etc before posting more (in my opinion) rubbish.

-an underpowered speaker won't perform as good as a sufficiently powered speaker
-quality of sound is determined by magnets and type of paper/rubber/whatever of speaker
-the RMS given is the easiest way to combo amplifier/speaker/subwoofer - for a dumb guy like me anyway
-never came across the actual RMS of a stock head unit
Now I know this is all rubbish as you easily pointed out. But please share some of your knowledge in this area.
Sayonara.

I guess thats one good reason to buy an i30. i30 is easy to spell. Hyundai can be a bit tricky though.
