Door speaker recommendations?

Hi folks, I'm looking for suggestions to replace the original door speakers in my 2001. I've read through many forum posts and am more confused than ever. Especially since they're apparently 2ohm.

My setup:
  • Head unit: Kenwood DDX5706S DDIN (need that volume knob!)
  • Amp: original Option M490 replaced with 996 cabrio amp
  • Dash speakers: originals replaced with Hertz ECX100.5 4" 4ohm coax
  • Rear speakers: Harvey PNP retrofit kit - four 3.5" coax

I don't want to modify the existing speaker box, so I assume that limits me to 5.25". True?

Does the 996 amp have the same cutoff of highs as the old stock amp? If so, coax vs component? Or will the Kenwood controls deal with that?

Thanks!
