An amp upgrade is going to be necessary I assumed, I will have to see how difficult wiring the dash speakers will be for amplification. Would component speakers be a good option in the dash?

trying to gauge one's skill level is always the hardest part of recommendation threads like this.
a set of component speakers would likely sound better, wired straight off the new head unit. the difficulty is going to be in the wiring. it's really almost easier to install all new wiring than attempt to maintain any of the oem wiring.
as the diagram from limitedslip shows, there's a splice in the wire somewhere that splits the signal off from the head unit to go to the tweeters and the door speaker amp. the location of this splice is unknown. if this splice was easy to locate, it'd be possible cut it apart, use the input to the splice to feed a crossover, and then maintain the wiring going to the amp and tweeters. but it would require an additional harness to bypass the factory amp.
all in all, maintaining the factory wiring for a new purpose would be almost as much effort as just pulling new wiring off the new radio to the new tweeter and through the door to the new woofer. either would end with an identical end-result, using the oem wiring just utilizes more of what's already there..
i've recommended these in the past, haven't really heard too much feedback on them though, never used them myself. the specs are all middling, the materials are appropriate, and the design/build appears to use well-established etiquette. outside of brand loyalty/preference, i don't believe that there's any reason to spend much more on any set of speakers, or are you going to get much better overall sound. other brands are going to have a different 'tone' or 'color' to their output for various reasons, that's really going to be the only difference between these and any name-brand speaker.
