The Infinity Amp has a built in Crossover to send the frequencies to the correct speaker

You can mount the tweeters in the dash . I'd cut a Plexiglass plate and then centerdrill the correct diameter for the speaker, then install the stock grill over it, I'd install a bass blocker or you could connect the crossover to the tweeter line and then the tweeter.

Mount the drivers in the door

Thanks BV.... Do you think this is an OK component speaker system or do you think I need to go another direction? I can tell you that the door speakers and dash tweeters are toast but the rear deck 6x9's still sound pretty good.
"I'd install a bass blocker or you could connect the crossover to the tweeter line and then the tweeter". Ive never heard of a "bass blocker". Is that something I need?
Crossover ... Tweeter line. Could you explain that to me please?
"Mount the drivers in the door" Are you refering to the 6.5 speakers or the crossovers? Sorry for my ignorance.

http://www.crutchfield.com/shopsearc..._blockers.html

the stock tweeters /amp cut off lower then those kicker tweets , you might actually be missing some frequncys cut by the amp and blocked by the bass blocker

The crossover has input from the head unit and output to the tweeters and the drivers You could connect the tweeter line to the input and the tweeter output to the tweeters
These will act as crossovers

Yes drivers= door speakers
