I don't think you need bigger speakers - you need more sensitive speakers. And/or you need an amp for the dash and door speakers. I don't think the stock speakers are actually very sensitive, surprisingly; and they are running on miniscule power in our cars (which have no separate amp in the trunk). You might be able to drop a 3" speaker in the dash opening, but anything bigger and you'll probably have to make a surface-mount setup. I'm not even sure there's enough room between the dash and windshield to do that.
