Beatsonic kit with new headunit amp wiring then you can do whatever speakers work with the amp you chosen.

Or get 8ohm speakers which match the ml amp

I just did this. I replaced all 4 door speakers with 6.5" speakers rated @ 8ohms.
It sounds much better.

No fitment issues? Any issues screwing them into the housing?

Are the OEM speakers 4 or 8ohm?

No issues. The screw holes lined up perfectly.
My OEM speakers were 8 ohm. I measured them first to make sure.

That good to know... how many watts are your speakers that you installed? And I was thinking about swapping out my sub also.
I had a kicker 10" l7 but I blew it out. Amp has to much power lol. So my options are get 2 l7s or a jl audio w7 or replace the oem sub with a kicker comp or a jl audio w3 and run a low wattage amp with it
