Actually, in my old Verde I installed in the rear deck a pair of 6" round Polks.
One of my reasons for this pick was that I wanted speakers that could be
hidden under the original grills. The installation was kind of a pain.

My partner Stephen just installed a pair of 6x9 Polks in the rear deck of
his new Verde. He had a fairly easy time of it, and used the Polk grilles.
On the inboard side you can see a bit of the depression in the rear deck
panel from the original speakers, but it's barely noticable. If I had it to
do over again, I'd follow the same path.
