Question Recommendations for rear speakers

I have a Kenwood HU/amps, 10" Audiobahn sub in stealthbox and Infinity speakers/tweeters installed in the front doors.

I would like to add speakers to the rear seat area where the Monsoon 6.5" "subs" used to be. Which speaker should I use? I am not looking to spend a whole lot (less than 100 bucks for the pair, if possible...) on them, but would still like to have something that sounds decent.

The system sounds very good as it is right now, so I don't necessarily have to have anything there, but I'd like to have something. There are already wires coming from the amp to the speakers.

I have a pair of Infinity's that I took off the same location of my 95 TA, but they are too small (5.75", I think) for the holes in my 99 and I don't feel like fabbing something to make them fit properly. Otherwise I'd probably usem them.

Suggestions?

These looks pretty nice:

I simply have RF T162C in there, it still puzzles me, that they work fine

But, after a lot of research, I am becoming more and more confident, that rears are waste of money. Good components in front, good amp for them; sub with amp back there - is what makes nice sound.

Look at the thread in this section about the digital audio mid-bass drivers. They are a awesome rear-fill speaker.

Agreed on the Digital Audio Mid-Bass drivers. I just put them in, and they are simply awesome. I do not have a sub in there right now, but these put out a good amount of mid bass, I really like them. You can get them on ebay for 83 shipped i think.

Re: Recommendations for rear speakers

Thanks for the info on the DA's. Haven't been able to find them on Ebay yet, though. Found some 5.25", but not 6.5".

If I decide to get them, do I need to do anything else? Just hook the wires and that's it? Except some adjustments at the amp, I guess...

Yup, hook em up and go. Low passing them is probably a good idea, i got mine at 300hz right now.
