Since you bought an amp it depends how you run your wiring. If you make a patch harness and reuse the factory wiring then yes, but if you run new wire you can wire the speakers yourself in whatever configuration you like.

The stock speakers are garbage, any decent aftermarket speaker will be a nice upgrade. Infinity makes quality stuff, and their coaxial speakers sound great. But have you considered a component setup? They are typically better sounding than coaxial and they have better crossovers. With a coaxial in the door and the dash you will have 4 tweeters in the front. 2 of those will be by your leg which is not ideal IMO (reflecting off the windshield isnt ideal either but better than down low)

I already plan on fabricating an adapter out of HDPE or something (have plenty of MDF, but I don't want to use that on a door due to moisture.

If you are capable of fabricating your own adapters then making the speakers fit wont be an issue.
As for the hatch and rear door speakers you should not hear them over your front speakers. In a proper system they would be used as rear fill and the volume would be faded forward. A passengers might hear them over your front speakers, but not you. Even for a passenger the front speakers are only about 5ft from their ears, they will just sound a few decibels quieter than they do to you.
Either way you go you will have a large improvement over stock.
