HK speakers on a standard Visual Boost

Has anyone tried swapping the standard upper-mid speaker with a HK one and adding the HK tweeters to their standard 6 speaker setup?

I been searching around for quite a bit to find out the impedance of the HK speakers.

So if anyone has any constructive suggestions or information, it would be appreciated.

Thinking about just doing a straight swap coz I got a set of HK uppermids and tweeters lying around doing nothing.

Thanks

The HK speakers are designed specifically for the HK amp with non-standard specs. They have 2 ohm impedance and no crossovers (active crossovers built into the HK amp). It would be better if you use regular aftermarket speakers.
