The "600 watt" rating referrs to their power handling, but is actually a lot more marketing BS than an actual spec.
As long as the impedence matches the OEM speakers impedence, you can use them without bothering the amp inside the headunit.
Keep in mind, better speakers (with a higher power handling) as a rule, need more power to get to the same volume (i.e. they are less efficent). If you do not plan on adding an amp, I'd choose something near the entry-level offerings from an aftermerket manufacturer.
