Default C6 base stereo speaker replacement

Guys,

I am looking to replace my factory speakers but still utilize the factory base amp. What ohm speakers should I be looking for? What kind of watt range should they have. I know the door speakers are either a 8" or 10". I was looking at a midrange loud speaker there. I am going to have a sub with a amp but want to use the factory amp for the mids and highs if possible. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

What year C6?
guessing 07, non bose. The door cutout is for a 10". The speaker you have is an 8" on a plastic adapter. It is a 2 ohms woofer. The upper door speaker is a 4 ohm 3.5".

You are correct it is a 07 base C6. What about the rear 5 25" is it 4 ohm also? Any recommendations on a desent 8" to replace the stock and run on factory amp?

These have good specs and are on .sale.
Alpine S2-S80C
Morel and Focal also have a similar offering but at a much higher price. I would levee the rears alone until you are ready to add an amp to those.
