Looking in to change that amp that's in the doors and if that works then upgrade front 9 inches to something better.
Total cost was about 800...

After re-reading your post, I think that you left the woofer alone, is that correct? If that is the case, do the aftermarket tweeters provide enough lows. The stock tweeters are 2 inches and can go much lower then any aftermarket set.

Your tweeters should not produce lows. Tweeters are in the range of more higher frequencies , once you hit that frequency, the midbass/midrange take over from there.

Need to find a small amp that takes the input from the Bose in the rear,
And mount that amp in the door. (Need 2 amps of course)
Then wire up new woofers in the door.
Long time ago I had a class D amp that did 100w in mono,
The size was about 1' x 3' x 8' German brand, don't know if they still exist.
Tweeters work great! Have a lot more highs to them.
The way they are mounted now, you can also swivel them.
I used the stock cap of the original Bose tweeters.

An amp like that would be great for the woofers. Dose this amp use the differental output or we you use a line coverter?

Talking 10 years ago here...
Been trying to find the amps but so far no luck...
Brand was "AMA" made in Germany, (800$ a piece) they had 2 models:
100W & 150W.
I remember the amps because my installer at the time mounted them in the doors
Of VW Golf II... You needed jeweler’s screw-drivers to adjust them!
He was working on my merc at the time....
Won 5th place at the Paris car audio show with that car.
(Man getting old here)
Guess I need to call him and find out if they are still in business.
He does know the rep from Focal and I met him once.
Focal at the time made speakers to order, maybe that’s an option.
(Have them rewire a 9' speaker so it does work with 4 ohm's)
It was pricy do....
