whats better?
Assuming you have an external amp...the Alpine are better for sound quality(4ohm) and the Infinity are good be loud but have relatively low sound quality(2ohms).
Question to who(fcm) may know...I assume these are rear deck speaker replacements(rear-fill), so would the Infinity speakers work good wired in series(4ohm) and bridged at the amp assuming he has enough power?

" Yes and no, technacly neither set of speakers is good as rear fill unless they are for some kind of surround sound system, and even then a "3way", [triaxal/"full range"] speaker is not what I would use, 2way component or point-source maybe, in a stereo system there are 2 channel, left and right, not front and rear left/right.
In a car a mono rear fill can help with staging and imaging and pretty much eliminate "left/right bias".
For rear fill I would use the Alpines and disable the tweeters, [better yet, buy a set of mid-range/mid-bass drivers instead] because rear fill needs to be mono, wiring a set of 4 ohm speakers in series for an 8 ohm load, [Re will be lower] gains you two things, a lower output, and at 8 ohms a much "cleaner" output, both very good things.
