Default good replacement for bose woofers

so i have fixed my bose subs on the rear deck before but the glue just doesnt hold and i would like to replace them with something better maybe? i would like to keep the other 4 speakers that are in the doors, and only replace the 2 woofers in the rear deck. i would also like to keep everything else as is. what do you guys recommend, links would be nice.
btw i know that i need 2 ohm woofer but what size, cuz i cant remember?

i just got an email from them saying that i would need to pay $40+tax and shipping for each speaker. the question is, is it worth paying $40 and getting the exact same thing or is it worth upgrading?

The speakers in the deck just act as woofers so I picked up a new pair from parts-express.com for like $45 shipped and I think it ended up giving clearer crisper bass. I also filled the rear deck with some filler.
