My plan is to keep it simple:

1. Bypass the tweeters using this method.
2. Drop in better 3.5" coaxials.

Since the tweeter is bypassed (hence not placing any load) I will have to get 2ohm coaxials to match, otherwise I would get differing loudness outputs?
no, there won't be much if any difference in volume because of the frequencies the speaker puts out.

another guy here installed these, and was quite happy with the sound quality

i use these, and am quite happy with them as well.

i've been meaning to try these in the car, just haven't gotten to it yet:

just note that they really need a 'bass blocker' in-line with the speaker to keep the bass away from it to play cleanly:

should try to use a bass blocker for around 200-300hz
