Questions:
1a) I guess I'll split the one woofer output and drive it to the door speakers. Right?
1b) Do I need speakers or just woofers for the doors?
2) This thing has on-board variable electronic crossovers. That means that I don't need crossovers for the speakers (especially for the woofers?)
I was thinking of buying infinity kappa speakers (that have 2 ohms impedance) but I still don't know what to get for the door speakers (and one of them must be blown or something, because it sounds awful)
Excuse my ignorance and, please, guide me through this...

Most of your post is beyond my paygrade, but I did get Kappas 4" front and 4x6 rears. They are 2ohms and sound fantastic. The fronts took a little effort to put them in the existing housing, but the backs are giving me a headache. I am leaving the doors alone for now. You can always go to cruchfield and get some free pre buying support. Just a warning, they are high.

Oh, I am still using the stock amp as for a convertible it is plenty(so far). My Kappa speakers sound fantastic, with my new jvc hd50 head unit(best buy) $200ish installed.
