If bass is the goal then you have many choices:

1. Add a sub
2. Amp the underseat woofers
3. Do both the above
4. Swap the underseat subwoofers for Earthquake SWS 8xi and amp those...

I could go on... generally you'll find if you swap the underseats and amp those you will need to upgrade the tweeters up front. They will sound awful and be drown out by the new found bass.

So it depends on your budget and system goals.

For me... the speakers are not bad as they stand on my HK... so a sub is being added with the Technic PnP harness.

One 10-12" subwoofer in the back will do you. So all you need is a mono amp.

Other options include the Bav Sound kit... that is plug and play... works off your factory amp but the subs do sound better with a bit more juice. You'd be surprised how a sub can make a world of difference. It leaves the other speakers to get on with what they were designed for and not to try and produce low bass they struggle to produce - as that is taken care of by the sub. There will be mid bass and sub bass everywhere if you add a sub.
