Alright. If you are trying to have all 10 speakers amplified, + a subwoofer... you're talking real work. And cost.
You would need a 5 channel amplifier at minimum. And you would need to replace ALL of the speakers. The fronts with a 3-way component setup that has a passive crossover. And the rears with a 2-way component setup that has a passive crossover.
If you go the above route, 1 channel of the amp will drive the left front speakers (all 3 of them), 1 channel the right front speakers (all 3 of them), 1 channel the left rear speakers (2 in the door I believe), 1 channel the right rear speakers (2 in the door), and the final channel will power your subwoofer.
It's... a lot of work. What are your ultimate goals with the setup? Sounds like a friend's nice gesture has turned into a real task here. Just noticed those front speakers they gave you are 2 way also. The reason you aren't getting volume out of them is that all the frequencies above (guessing here) ~200hrz are removed in the factory amplifier. Those frequencies are fed to the mid (dash) and even higher frequencies to the tweeters (on the door). The factory amps for the DSP and business 10 channel amps do a lot of crossover work internally before passing signals on to the speakers.
