four and five channel amps always give a 2 ohm rating... but i have never seen a 2 ohm speaker other than a subwoofer. i do not do alot of audio stuff so i am somewhat retarted in this area. thanks for the help

They give that rating to the amp to make it seem like it gives more power. A two ohm load will make twice the power as a four ohm load. Most speakers are four ohm.

no not two speakers in each door, what you could do is just wire two speakers in paralell and that would give you a 2ohm load.
