So I've gone for a speaker upgrade, got hold of some 5.25 inch hertz that fit nice and snug without any difficult modifications. The rears are a coaxial system with about 40rms power. Also dynamat soundproofed the surroundings here are a few pics...

All sounds much better now and can crank up the volume!!

They are 5.25 hertz coaxial speakers in the rear. Then I replaced the front foot wells with 5.25 components. Fitting was fairly simple. But may need further sound deadening to rear panels as the bass gives me a slight thudding from the panels
