Answer 1

Your head unit will not over drive the Alpines, but you will only get 22 W of power so the volume will not be much louder than OEM speakers, they will sound better though.  I have had many Alpine sets over the years and have used them in doors.     The doors are generally not a good place for high power anyway since there is little air space and many little parts to vibrate and rattle. I had a 100 W amp powering door speakers once and had to dial the gain way down due to incidental noise created by the extra power
