Cabby rear speaker replacement

Hi all,
Anyone got any hints/tips/recommendation of replacement items for the rear speakers before I start ripping things apart this w/e?
Not looking to spend loads (I'm not one one for the rude boy bass pumping malarky) but my driver side rear has given up the ghost.  :cry:

I used Infinity 452i 4 x 4's in the rear and 6 x 4's in the front. They perform ok, nothing too punchy and you don't have to cut the door cards either. The fronts are better in the door bins.

Thanks guys.
Looking at the rear, I take it the rear bench needs to  be removed to get the door cards off? Or not?

Yeah seats out, remove seat belt cover and slide out the card. The speaker is screwed in behind it. While you are at it, check to see if they have been rewired in the past as the balance doesnt work properly due to a three pin connection under the dash by the drivers door.
I rewired my rears totally with quality wire to ensure a good sound.
