I bought my polks from crutch field and came with a spacer to make them fit. Not sure if any are direct plug and play without it.

I like my polks and like that they're marine rated.

Pretty much any 6.5 will fit, but you may find that you have to be a little 'creative' when it comes to attaching them to the sound bar. I (briefly) had a set of Sony's in mine, but am currently running a cheap component set made by Pyle. There is also a direct replacement made by Kicker that a lot of people seem to like. As for upgrading, you're only going to hear minimal improvement unless you replace the radio as well (IMO, of course).

No matter what speaker you choose, to get the most out of the sound bar location, take the opportunity to stuff it full of poly-fil while swapping the speakers. It'll help fill things out a little.

Also, I think the stock speakers are 1 way, so if you replace it with a a 2 way speaker, it'll sound louder because you're getting the highs as well as the lows, at least that was my experience in my 2011

I bought these for my '07 JKU soundbar from Amazon. Perfect purchase.

I went with the polks too. I had bought mounting adapters, but wound up not needing them. If I recall, the polks came with an adapter that worked. Polks were a great purchase, and I did the front dash speakers too (same speaker). Can't go wrong.

I blew both of mine too so don't feel bad.

I think pegging the volume on the XM is the cause, too much distortion or something?

Find 'em on Amazon. I replaced all four in my Jeep (2 in soundbar, 2 in dash).

I'm assuming you have a newer Jeep...

Not Really

As for upgrading, you're only going to hear minimal improvement unless you replace the radio as well (IMO, of course).

The problem lies with the combination of speakers and the radio with Jeep. If you just replace the radio, you will not hear much improvement because the speakers are cheap and are 2-ohm speakers. You would be using the same speakers with this setup. You don't have to replace the radio, but the best way to make all 6 speakers sound better is to replace them with good 4-ohm speakers, buy a good amp, use a PAC and LOC, and you're good to go. (IMO) There are tons of threads on this here at the forum.
