Default Bi-amp components

I'm fixing a poor install on my 2000 T/A from the previous owner. My original though was to bi-amp the front door components with my 4 channel amp (Pioneer GM-D8604) using its built in crossover. I was going to replace the mismatched compoenents with some Pioneers, but the best those speakers can do is 60 watts rms. My amp will do 100watts. Any thoughts on different speaker options? Anyone else bi-amp their fronts?

You can still bi-amp those speakers even with that amp, just adjust the gains down. Always better to have a larger amp and keep the gains lower; this allows the amp to run cooler and last longer because its components are not as stressed.
