What 3.5 or 4 inch speaker, if any, would you recommend as a replacement until you get your system to market. I assume it should closely match the factory sensitivity rating of around 89db.
None. If there were one, we'd be using it already - and I'm familiar with pretty much everything out there. The variables created by the MINI HiFi setup aren't anything that would make sense for an existing speaker to have been built for.

(Also, the factory speakers are about 87dB)

The speaker sensitivity (db rating) makes a big difference. The set i have aré responding very well connected directly to the head unit (no amp).
