The Bose system is a cohesive unit with everything matched parameter wise, and the drivers are tuned to the EQ in the Bose amplifier if I'm not mistaken.
We've curved the response in driver and passenger positions and it's relatively good down to 40 Hz.

Changing the drivers will necessitate consulting some of the guys that have done so and know what drivers to get. Most Navi guys end up buying a speaker or line to amplifier adapter then replacing all the drivers and adding a 200 x 4 2 Ohm amp and a 2 x 12 custom enclosure in the rear with a 1000 x 2 ohm amp.
It's quite expensive, unless you buy BOSS kits.
PS: Most guys that go that route end up adding 200 lbs of noise dampening materials in the doors and cabin due to Noise and Vibration induced by the radically increased music/low freq volumes.
