Default 2008 vert Bose speaker replacement w/ JBL's - thoughts?

Looking to replace the 5.25 behind the front seats

http://www.jbl.com/car-speakers/GTO529_.html

they are 4 ohm speakers.
Gotta think you are way better than this stock OEM speakers & looks like the Bose system maybe enough to drive them....
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

You'll have slightly better highs, but volume won't change.

Also FYI, rears in C6 Bose aren't in stereo.

IMO, if all you're doing is changing one set of speakers, I think I'd go with the front 3.5"

Both rear speakers behind head rest are mono! ... well I guess it kinda make sense louder volume for driver or the passenger side I guess ... an individual mono filler

Uhhhhhh no... I picked the rears cuz they are an easy install. If I get the door apart for the 3.5's, it'll never go back together. .. yeah I'm not messing w/ door panels
