Focal speaker upgrade

I'm thinking about upgrading the speakers in my car. I got the Harmon Kardon system when I bought it, but it's not great.

Focal have a few options that look decent https://www.focal-inside.com/bmw/en/...ible-2018-g29/ But I'm not sure the kit is completely correct.

According to this breakdown of the HK components:

it should be 7 pairs of tweeter + mid range, plus two subs. The two way speaker in the kit are incorrect.

Questions

1. I'm thinking 7 x the IS BMW 100L kit would be better. But I won't need to use the crossover as that's built in the tweeter output of the HK amp. Does that sound right?

2. I don't see the advantage of buying the amplifier kit and BMW 2 subs instead of using the BMW 4 subs with the amp that came with it. The frequency range of both subs is the same. Only difference is one is 2 ohm the other 4. Does that sound right?

3. If I did buy the additional amp, how difficult would it be to wire?

Focal support haven't been any help.
