Default What to do with a Fiesta MK III?

Hi All,

I have a Fiesta Mk III and I've been chopping and changing the audio
components for the last few weeks and I can't seem to get a good
enough sound.

Original configuration: Ford RDS 2005 Head Unit, original Ford Front
Speakers, original Ford Back Speakers.

I replaced the front speakers with some Alpine SXE-1325S (35W RMS,
200W Peak), but I found little significant difference.

I then replaced the front speakers with TheLoudest.Com's TL-1051 (50W
RMS, 175W Peak) and the back speakers with TheLoudest.Com's TL-1041
(45W RMS, 150W Peak). The Ford head unit and these speakers did not
match and sounded awful.

I then replaced the head unit with a JVC KD-LHX551 which is alot
louder but I'm finding the system still sounds unpleasant. It screams
on high frequencies even at low volumes - like a "ringing" in my ears
and it distorts at high volumes.

What shall I do?

I've got a stealth shelf and I'm going to mount some speakers in that
to replace the back ones.

I would like more powerful speakers in the front doors. Could I put
in some 6x9's in the existing holes? Would the plastic container
thing fit on top of them?

Please help,

Ryan
