Well, maganda is subjective. I suggest going for tried-and-tested brands over unknown ones as you know these have invested in trying to make good sound.. rather than simply entering the market for a quick buck or two. You can browse through the previous posts on my favorites at several price points (>5k, 5k, >10k budgets).

Since you're also accustomed to deadening, it is highly recommended you deaden your front doors. Do it both sides (front and back). OEM deadeners help cut down the cost drastically as the important aspect in deadening application isn't the brand being used but rather how effectively it has been installed/applied. The three biggest major car audio shop owners would tell you frankly (they did in a past car audio forum meet) that installation plays a far greater part rather than the brand of deadener used (although it still didn't deter me from throwing STP Silvers on my front doors).

Also, throwing in an amplifier is a huge help especially once your budget is at 5-digits. Reason is that speakers are inefficient drivers.. the 30W RMS your head unit is putting out is pathetic when the typical Hi-Fi person consumes around 50W in normal listening levels of 85 decibels (roughly normal conversation level). It might be okay for your tweeter but your woofer needs power to move its voice coil.
