Explorer 2020 Platinum with 14 speakers B&O system
I have 2 pairs of Dynaudio Esotar 2 650 6.5 woofers with 93 sensitivity and planing to replace the stock doors B&O with them to get a better sound quality
Do you think the B&O amp will handle it as the Dynaudio's are 200 watts each and 04 ohms, also how many watts each of the B&O system doors channels amp have it?
Any comments will be appreciate it

Stock power is low. Get the best high sensitivity drivers you can find.

What you’re describing is a recipe for disappointment. And why in the world would you want to waste drivers of that quality like that anyway?

I have the drivers removed from my old Explorer and want to keep them

I have the exact same speakers in my rear set up & Esotec MW 172 in the fronts. To get the best bang for your buck you need sound deadening in the doors & door skins. Then a good dsp & amplifier. Just swapping out the speakers you will not notice much difference. If you can afford to do only 1 thing then sound deadening the doors first is a must. I don't care how good a dsp & tune & amplifier you have. If you have all kinds of rattling in the doors it defeats the purpose. Sound deadeng first is a must. Just opinion though.

I know that, I just checked 2 days ago with Crutchfireld and they told me the Explorer Platinum or ST B&O 14 speakers, the factory amp have no more than 15 watts on each door speakers, unbelievable for what they call Premium sound system .
I'm thinking about buy a Dynaudio X 362 3 way crossover, plus 2 Dynaudio midranges and 2 tweeters to use at front with the Esotar 650 and for the back I'm gonna use a pair of Esotec plus 2 tweeters and X252 crossover that I have it
About the amp and dsp I don't know which model or brand to buy. Any suggestions ???

For a dsp I have a Helix dsp pro mk2 . For amps I have a zapco 150.6 which is a 6 channel amp & a zapco 400.2 2 channel & I have a Sundown Audio Salt4 for my subs. But I did have a zapco Z-3Kd ii but blew that. Great dsp & amps in my opinion. Money will be your deciding factor in the end.
