C6 rear speaker replacement - suggestions?

I've got my C6 apart for another project and the rear speakers are now very accessible. I thought while I had the chance I would replace the cheap Bose product with something that will sound better.

Any suggestions as to what speaker I should replace them with? I currently run a Kenwood 8120 unit through the stock Bose speakers and it sounds pretty good. I realize the rears are in mono but would like to upgrade them while I have the chance. I haven't shopped for speakers in years so what do you guys suggest? I'm not looking at installing more components just a simple speaker replacement.

Thanks

If you'd like to save a few bucks, I'm very happy with these.

Are those direct replacements? That will probably work if they are.

If you don't want to splice the wires you'll need an adapter. Otherwise they'd work fine with the OEM setup, and would even be good for most aftermarket amps if you ever upgrade.
