I have had my 2022 Tundra for over a year now and i know the JBL premium system is fine. I was wanting to do two things. Beat Sonic amp. Replace the stock paper cone speakers. Do I need to match ohms of speakers to stock? Or are all 4ohms? Thanks. D

Match the new speakers to the amp's capabilities.

It appears as if the stock and the JBL speakers have differing ohms. If you already have the JBL speakers, then the front door speakers are 2 ohms, the rear door speakers are 4 ohms and the rear subwoofer is 2 ohms (dual voice coil, each coil is 2 ohms).
You do want to match the ohm ratings, as well as the brand to keep the timbre the same.
Alternatively, you can find a reputable car stereo shop and have them design a system for you, so you don't end up with headaches and issues. They can also install it all for you, without you having to buy the pry tools, replacement clips, etc..

If you’re changing your amp & speakers you do not need match the ohm ratings to stock. But, you do need to match the ohm rating of your new amp to the ohm ratings of your new speakers.
Looking at your amp choice you’ll need to stay with the 4-8 ohm rating of that Beat amp.
That amp is not rated for 2 ohms so keep your speaker of choice at 4 ohm min.
But, you’ll have to keep all speakers at the same ohm rating to equal spl outputs.
Personally….
If you’re replacing the original amp I’d go with something that’s not bottom tier.
I wouldn’t replace the stock amp with something in the 3-400 dollar range.
Your original equipment is better than that.

I was going with Beat Sonic amp because it is plug and play. I am replacing stock speakers because I have heard from other owners the stock JBL speakers are not very good quality. Thanks.

Ok then, carry-on.
