help for installing Infinity Perfect Kappa component 5.1 in ES350 08 ML

I have a Lexus ES350 with a Mark Levinson OEM amplifier (10 channels) that control the 13 speakers on the car. Recently, i've added an aftermarket woofer plus amplifier to the system via a LOC device. But now, i want to replae the door speaker and tweeter with my old Infinity component without adding a 3rd amplifier to the car.

This is the set:
http://www.infinitysystems.com/car/products/product_detail.aspx?prod=KAPPA%20PERFECT5.1

the manufacturer state to power the speakers with at least 50wrms/speaker for best performance and i think that the OEM door speaker only give up around 20wrms.

My questions are:

1. Can i install the Infinity component with the crossovers to the old system with it present wires and how ?

2. Will i see a difference considering i'm not using the proper wattage suggested by the manufacturer ?

The car has an alternator rated for 130amp and my amplifiers are taking 600wrms or 90 amps. I don't crank up the volume all the time, i'm into more of SQ.

thank you very much in advance for you helps.

I was expecting to install myself as i'm a DIY guy, but it is always wise to ask questions first before plundging into the install. I've asked the clublexus.com with little luck.
