I like the Focal 165W. So much so that I have some being sent to me this week. Based on me reading a lot of post about this topic the members of this board like both Focal and MB Quart. Both have options within your price range, however, both will require amplification to maximize performance of the speaker.

Here are links to their websites:

http://www.focal-america.com

http://www.mbquart.com/

Hope this helps.

I went with the Focals 165K2. These are components and cost about $260. The tweeters are rather large and I don't know if they will fit in the stock location. The MB quart tweeters are a little smaller. Definitely recommend an amp that can put out about 100 rms per channel for the Focals.

I went with the Focals 165K2.
That's what I have and I'm told by my installer that they fit perfectly.

I will be powering my Focal 165W's with a JL 500/5. The front channel is rated at 100 watts per channel RMS, and I'm using this to power the Focal's.
