Also, yes you would run your door/dash in parallel.
Sorry my man I am going to have to disagree on that one. The amp is probably going to out out around 50 watts to the spakers, the factory wireing is not rely made for that. Also you would get less resistance in the flow of power if you installed new wireing in the doors. It will take some time and you will have to drill a hole in the door but it is possible. The new speakers need the crossover that has come with them. That way they are being fed the proper freq and such. I would run new wire from the amp to the crossover than form there to the speaker and the tweeter. This is all on the theory that you are running components up front.

On a side not you can still use the factory wiring I just recommend upgrading.
