Basic speaker question

The_B_Man

Hi,
I'm looking to get a set of car speakers for use in a media centre.
I'm looking at these:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-XSFB1020-Coaxial-Speaker-System/dp/B01D4QAC18

So I need a left and right speaker only. Maybe separate subwoofer but that will be later.
My question is about these car stereo speakers. Why do they look different? Is one of them a subwoofer, and the other a tweeter? Like is one designed for the front of the car, and the other for the back of the car?

Sorry, I know its a bit of a silly question but I just want to make double sure before I buy them, as I have to have left and right.

Also, if anyone knows of a better 10cm/4in speaker set for the money, let me know.

cheers

Bit confused is this for a car or home project as there might be difference in ohms.
The speaker has a woofer added for deep bass.

Subwoofer is 10" + in a big box driven by an amp

Home project. The original speakers were 4ohms.
Was asking about the visual differences in the speakers. One has a mesh over it, the other doesn't. I was thinking that if they look different then they might be different, eg one is a small woofer.

So is it safe to say I can use these as Left and Right, even though they look different?

I already have an amp. I won't ask what Trump/Russia have to do with it! :P

Ye this was the confusion.

Out of curiosity, why does one need protection? I was asking in my OP if one was for the front of the car (more feet climbing in and out and kicking the door) and one for the back where there may be less passengers, wear and tear etc.
So is it just this reason why one has the mesh? It seems to be across the board for all speakers I've looked at. I think my original question is answered at this stage, but I'm just curious now.
Thanks.

2 speakers and 2 grilles will be in box as they always showed them that way for 40 odd years as long as i have bought them,how much power will they take before waffling or sounding crap.
