How loud do you want them to get? Most decent components will get loud enought to cause permanent hearing damage.

They all sound great in the proper application and no, they are not designed to get "loud" like car audio speakers usually are.

DYohn and haemphyst have covered the issue of "loud" with these brands of quality speakers. You will need to start over with your installation, making sure you have power set up correctly and damping applied at least in the speaker locations. If you're not getting the volume you want, then there are some deficiencies in your system. Changing the brand of speaker isn't going to be the cure, at least don't look at going in that direction. Just work on the overall sound setup, and replace your front components with another good brand that is specifically made for car audio.

My guess is that you can't turn up your current speakers because they bottom out early on correct? Try using a high pass filiter on your front speakers and you should be able to play them louder. Whenever you limit the bandwidth of a driver, you increase the output capability. It's kind of a trade-off.
