you can replace the stock 'twiddler' with aftermarket 3.5" speakers, that'll improve your highs.

twiddler is the term 'we' use for the crappy bose speaker that isn't a tweeter, nor a mid range speaker. it's the 'other' speaker in the door.
hmm...the impedence that you listed seems like it's from the website :-) ... do you have the 2x2 or 2x4 version?

ok so if you have 2 (2x4) subs with rec. wattage raiting of 300 watts rms each.
That means you can either get a:
-mono amp that can run ~600 watts @ 4 ohms... i think this maybe expensive for a quality amp
-a 2 chan amp that is stable at 2 ohm and can run close to ~300 watts a chan.
-or get a 4 chan amp that can handle 2 ohms when bridged... this will be rare in an amp in that price range
I would recommend looking for a used jl audio, a phoenix gold, or xtant.
I would actually try to exchange them for the 2x2ohms. that way you can get a mono amp that can handle two ohms easily?
