Depends on what your goals are…. If you want to add more bass without adding a trunk sub, then upgrading the underseat woofers to the Earthquake subs with a separate, small amp to power them is the way to go for the most amount of bass from speakers in those spots, IMO. If you want more, crisp bass (as underseat woofers can only do but so much), then you should do a trunk sub and can get away with leaving the stock underseat woofers in place.

You could also upgrade the underseat woofers in the second scenario I described above (I did). But it will take some audio system tuning to take full advantage of other aftermarket woofers in most cases, IMO…
