Default Rear Speaker Recommendations

I just ordered a set of the Ebay roll hood covers.....i know some dont care for them but im willing to give it a shot. Anyway, im looking for some suggestions on speakers to place in them. Currently i have an Alpine 9857 HU, Alpine Type S components 90 rms peak power and a small Alpine amp (modifry kit and ipod cable as well but irrelavant).

I was planning on upgrading the amp anyway as im underpowered as it is but what would you guys recommend putting in the rear? Thanks for any tips etc.

Please don't call the E-Bay rip off's "S-Pods". It's bad enough this guy ripped off my design, but that does not make them S-Pods! It just isn't worth the $$$ lawyers want to fight him. But I can protect my copywrited name here!

BTW Several of his customers are so dissatisfied they buy real S-Pods from me anyway. Some are satisfied they got poorly fitting MDF(cardboard) with vinal stapled to them for cheap. To each his own.

Don't even bother starting a debate which is "best". I'm just protecting my trade mark / copywrite.

It's been said, hundreds of times before, but you have to LISTEN to the speakers you want to buy and see how they will be for you.

Personally, I really like Boston Acoustic speakers. I think they are GREAT, but not everyone agrees.

i realize this and im not about to buy speakers without hearing them first.....however.....I was looking for recommendations as a place to start my search. you guys are the experts and im sure have preferences and reasons why you do or dont like particular units.

To the above poster about the boston acoustics.....i went out and listened to a set this afternoon and they sounded great. /right now im looking into them and the alpines. Im going out shopping again tomorrow (need an amp too)
