I want to do the same swap but Future Shop here in Canada wants $249 for the Kappa 6x9's.
I bought them on eBay from a place called Barney's Electronics - NIB for $103 & free shipping. That's about half the price of what Crutchfields wants for them. I just did a quick search and here's a place that is selling them for $105.50 + $18 for shipping to Canada:

INFINITY KAPPA CAR STEREO 6X9 3-WAY 693.9I SPEAKERS SET | eBay

There may be others that ship to Canada as well - do a search to find the best deal.

The install went pretty smooth, and they sound fantastic compared to the OE speakers. The highs are a lot crisper, and the bass response is a lot cleaner. It doesn't have that muddy/distorted sound any more. Thanks again to all for their input.

I took my time and it only took about an hour to do. That includes soldering spade terminals to the speaker wires so I could attach them to the crossovers, then mount the crossovers to the under side of the panel with double sided tape. I left the brackets attached to the rear deck and just removed the T15 torx screws that hold the speakers to the brackets. It was a lot easier to do than I anticipated.
