If you have a 2 ohm system, your basic choices are going to be:
1. Live with whatever 2 ohm speakers you can find. There are still a few out there, but not many.
2. Buy 4 ohm speakers and live with the impedance mismatch, which is not really that great an idea.
3. Along with replacing ALL the speakers, also replace your head unit and amplifier (if you have one) with a modern unit that can power 4 ohm speakers. The wiring won't care what you do as long as it's still intact, but everything else would have to go.
All I can really say is do your research. Somebody with a lot more stereo experience should now chime in and give you better advice.

Before you spend a lot of time trying to figure out wiring problems that may not actually exist, you might want to pull the door panels off and take a look at the speakers themselves. The stock speakers in my doors went buzzy and then died, and it turned out the diaphragms in both of them had rotted away. It's easy to see if that has happened just by looking at them.
I was taking a window regulator out of one at the junk yard and happened to notice that its speakers looked exactly like mine. Apparently after a while the stock speakers just rot.
Or maybe it's wires after all. Only one way to find out.
