Replace Front Speakers with after market speakers

Hello,
I have a 2010 HL SE. The sound clarity is not that good with the stock speakers. I am thinking of replacing the front speakers with either one below. Has anyone replace their factory speakers? if yes, what brand/type? what was the outcome?

Infinity - 6-1/2" 2-Way Car Speakers with Plus One Cones (Pair)
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Infinity...&skuId=8210955


Alpine - Type-S 6-1/2" 2-Way Coaxial Car Speakers with Poly-Mica Cones (Pair)
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Alpine+-...&skuId=8699429

I want to keep the factory look as close as possible.

Updated:
after a little more research, I found this one to be more interesting and better value:

The first two are good options but all will be at the mercy of low power/SQ from the factory.

As far as the component set, you will need some type of amplification to power these or it will just be a waste of money for you. This applies to any component set you look at.

ah, thank you.
I thought I only need to replace the speakers. Anyway, it seems like there are too much works to improve the sound system.
