Default can I do this?

Can I put these:
http://carstereo.pricegrabber.com/se...sterid=2039714
in the stereo mounts where the stock ones went in the sides of the buckets?? What would I hafta do to make this work? Could I keep the stock front speakers and the same monsoon system and just change out the mids for those kickers?? Someone tune in on this please, im clueless when it comes to the stereo's.

Here's the demensions and stuff:
* Speaker Size: 8"
* Design: Midbass Drivers
* Sensitivity: 89 dB
* Frequency Response: 30 - 500Hz
* Peak Power Handling: 350 watts
* RMS Power Handling: 175 watts
* Impedance: 4 ohms
* Top Mount Depth: 2-5/16"
* Bottom-mount depth: 2-5/8"
* Cutout Dimensions: 7-3/8"
* Tri-Tech cone (sandwiched foam, polypropylene, and woven carbon fiber)
* Santoprene rubber surround
* low profile stamped steel basket
* spring-loaded nickel-plated terminals accept heavy-gauge speaker wire
* free-air capable
* Warranty: 1 Year

What kinda amp would I need to use, can you send me in the right direction please?

Thanks,
Caleb

Just get a nice set of components. You going to want to replace the front speakers for sure. If you want more power, then replace the factory amp for sure. At this point, you will probably consider a 4 channel and replacing the rear speakers as well.

Oh, there is a few speakers that work with the 2 ohm load. Which is what the factory amp uses. Just wait, I'm sure a few can tell you what brands.
