Default Speaker replacement and Frame question

I have a 2001 ws6 transam with monsoon sound system. Both of the rear seat speakers (in the sail panels) need to be replaced. Does anyone have any guidance on what I should use to replace them?

Also, according to the shop that handles my normal maintenance, the frame of my car might be bent. It has a slight drift at all times, regardless of how long they spend on the alignment. Has anyone else had any problems with this? Any advice here as well?

Check out Keeaudio.com for the only options I would consider buying on the sail panel speakers for monsoon, there is a cheaper option (Pyle) that some people are OK with but I don't trust the brand to last any amount of time.

these cars DON'T have FRAMES, they have UNIBODIES, has the car ever been wrecked that you know of? that could result in tweaking the unibody, or your shop could just be a bunch of dumb-***'s, I only say that because they referred to a unibody car as possible having a bent frame.

Go with the Bazookas from Kee, I replaced mine over the winter and they're really nice. I've sat in the car a lot in the garage this winter listening to the radio when I go out for my bi-monthly starts. I don't have any frame advice for you, other than to maybe get another opinion from a different shop? Good luck, and welcome to the site!
