Need speaker replacement

Got a 98 Camaro Z28 with the Monsoon system. One of the rear speakers by the quarter panel has blown. Where do I get a replacement other than spending 60 dollars at the dealer for a little 4 in speaker?

I have replacements that blow the stockers away and fit in the stock location for $24.99.

I've said it before...why do people still recommend 6x9 speakers? They were popular in the 70s (so were 8-tracks) and I'm disappointed that anybody still sells them. Oval speakers will never sound as good as the equivalent round speaker so why butcher the sail panels (not to mention rewiring to make them work) when there are great 6.5" round replacements available such as the ones Ian (Kee Audio) mentioned?

I'll give ya my stock speakers... you pay for shipping... But those speaker are garbage anyways and in a bad location... If you go aftermarket, I'd suggest taking those speakers out completely. THEY ARE USELESS!
