front speaker blown, need advice for replacement

hey, my front pass. speaker just blew today.. done a few searches but some things dont answer my questions.. i know the front speakers are suppose to be 2 ohms, now that brings me to question 1: are they two ohms because the tweeter and the woofer are paralelled 4 ohm speakers making them 2 ohms? or does the woofer have to be two ohms making the woofer and tweeter 1 ohm load overall?

and im having a hard job finding a set of components that have a 2 ohm load, i see infinity makes alot of 2ohm speakers but not right crazy about infinity speakers.. i seen kenwood makes a woofer with attached tweeter that has a two ohm load, model number kfc-x17110 but thatd mean id have a tweeter in the woofer and a tweeter in the sail panel at the top of the door.. which would be quite weird..

i absolutely dont want to get a 4 ohm speaker component system and then have to buy a amp to run them.. im perfectly fine with the sound i have now with the stock speakers and just want to get it up and running again..

i have a 2006 cobalt ss with the poineer package, jvc avx-44 deck running thru the stock amp, and two kenwood exelon 10" small enclosure subs running off an alpine m500 amp..

the local brands they sell in shops around here are kenwood, infinity(futureshop) pioneer, jvc, kicker,

any help would be great...

nevermind... went to one local shop found a set of components on sale for $150.00 kenwood kfc-p605ie, they are 4ohm but the tweeters are perfectly the same size as the stockers.. after installed just had to turn up the front speakers a little and they lost a little bit of mids from stockers but are nice and crisp.. turned up the subs a little to compensate and im good to go...
