Default C5 subwoofer replacement

Has anyone switched out the 8 inch subwoofers in the doors? I replaced the tweeters and the back speakers, put in a new head unit and used the adapter to keep the Bose amplifier working. Just wondering if I can replace the subs and if it’s worth it.

thanks!!

I would be curious to hear others on this. I got mine with already switched out subwoofer. For me...the sub was just way too much bass, no matter how low I set it. I personally just feel it's such a small space one doesn't need much of a sub for a nice sound. So, you can certainly replace, just consider that it's not a suburban that you have to fill with sound

I should clarify, mine is not a stock stereo, so it has a separate sub out line,which makes it easier to drop in a sub and bypass the stock ones.
