The factory amps will only power the door subs, your headunit will be powering the 4 main speakers. Any automptive speaker in the 4 ohm range will work. I think my Infinities are like 3.5 ohm or something. It's fine. The impedance of a speaker isn't static, it's actually dynamic and there is a whole lot of science involved that isn't worth going into here but suffice to say any general automotive speaker will be fine.

I did 600hz for the fronts and 150hz for the rear, not sure it was needed for the rears but that's what I did.
Infinity Reference REF-3032cfx up front and Infinity Reference 5032CFX is what you'd want for the rear. Those look like they are discontinued by Infinity but they are still available for now.

I spoke with Crutchfield technical support they say you need 150 bass blockers for the smaller speaker but the bigger speaker you don't need ... . question are the front speaker they need some work with the wires ( cut , soldering) or no ?
