Don’t haze me too bad, when it comes to audio I’m pretty special. I couldn’t find these exact speakers in here and I know everything is different but can anyone tell me if these will work with 2022 Power Wagon with the 9 speaker alpine?

I can't speak for those speakers directly. I installed JL Audio C2 3-way 6x9's in the doors of my 2500 Big Horn with the Alpine set up. Anything with a larger magnet than stock (which is most) will require a spacer ring and minor plastic trimming of the window regulator support. The JL's came with the spacer and the regulator plastic trimming required the guts to do it.
 
I am not sure if those magnets will clear the doors without using a spacer. I installed these Pioneers in my rear doors with no spacer or modifications required and it gave the rear more mids and highs which gave a good balance between front and rear. https://www.crutchfield.com/S-81Aop72qG8V/p_130TSG690/Pioneer-TS-G690.html?omnews=10244243. I guess I should add I previously swapped the 3 dash speakers which made the biggest difference. However, after swapping the dash speakers I was lacking mids and highs in the rear. By replacing the rear doors and dash speakers it really wakes up the Alpine system.

Keep in mind the factory Alpine amp has a crossover on it which limits the range of your speakers. Your front door speakers are basically mid range drivers only so by swapping in a 2 way 6x9 will not make much of a difference. The rear doors are full range so you will hear a noticeable difference when you swap these. For the biggest bang for your buck swap out the dash speakers first with your choosing and if you want more swap the rear doors. You will be limited on 6x9s that clear but there are multiple size speakers that will fit in the rear doors with 6.5" being a popular size.

Here is my set up for reference, I have less than 100 dollars invested and I am very happy with the sound.
3 Skar Audio TX35 - You can find these on Amazon for around 30 shipped per pair, purchase a set of speaker wire adapters for install (the adapters are different than the doors)
2 Pioneer TS-G690 - I bought mine from the link above, Crutchfield provides the speaker wire adapters making it plug and play.

These are not the best speakers out there but pair great with a factory powered system. If you plan on going with an aftermarket amp then I'd suggest stepping up to better speakers.
 
They fit, at least they do on my 16 and there should be no difference in your doors. With that said, don't expect any miracle sound difference by swapping speakers alone in these trucks. Unless you plan on amping them and maybe adding some sound processing it's not a noticeable difference.

I changed all 6 speakers in my 15 with SKAR audio and it made a world of difference over the cheap factory speakers. I know we are talking about different gens, but I would get the spacers for the front doors so magnets aren't hitting the glass. Don't forget to get the wiring adapter from stock to aftermarket speakers.
