As long as the impedance matches or is lower than the amps I believe.

Simple answer YES BUT....
RK69, please update your original post with everything you can think of that will help us answer your question. Year, model, stock audio, CVO?? Any info you can give us will help a lot. If FM reception is important, that will make a difference. Budget is another big question.
BE VERY CAREFUL with impedance. Impedance is measured in ohms and the lower the imp. the more audio you get, but also the harder on equipment it is. 0 is a dead short. Some of the Boom stuff is 1 Ohm. Reason I'd like ya to post up more info is so ya end up with the right stuff. Many of us here call the Boom stuff, KaBoom and if ya run much power to them, you'll know why they're called that. Be a little patient and don't run out and buy anything too quickly, many guys here that are very helpful and knowledgeable.

Don't think you can with that amp set up. I believe the woofer and tweeter is powered separately from those amps; you're likely not going to find that in the audio market. Honestly even if you did I don't think those amps put out enough power to notice the upgrade in speakers. I would replace the amp/amps while your at it.
