So whats brands are renouned for their good 4" split? I want to get a pair on the kick panel to compliment my Boston S60 front and rear. I know matching speakers are like matching fine wine with food, so I just need you guys to point me into right direction. My local audio place doesn';t have 4" splits, I wouldn't know where to start. I have a $200-300 MAX budget in mind.

At that price level, there isn't anything I would recommend as excellent.
But for a little more, the Focal 100V2 @ RRP $369, or Morel Dotech MkII 4 @ RRP $400
I haven't heard, but also available:
DLS PS4 @ RRP $279
if you can get away with 5", then there's about 10x the number of products available.
as for matching with existing speakers, I would recommend not.
I'm not saying it won't work, it might work fine, but the likely outcome is not as good as a complete new set of 6" splits.

I have a similar question so rather than start a new thread ill just borrow this one 
I was looking at Focal 100v2 as a 4" split set to go with my elate9 midbasses. Would the 4s play low enough? Ive got (very) roughly 1-2litres for each midrange.
Would the 5s play high enough?
Not sure
Cheers

The 4" should be fine down to 250Hz, the 8's will go that high easy.
