Also is your sub box really secured or does it move around???
i was thinking about changing it to alpine type x component but cant find the front door size which is 4"

To OP: Why didn't you replace the front door speakers?
IMHO, I think an upgrade of front stage to a proven 4" set like BSW or Focal and a SWS upgrade bi-amped would complete the front soundstage nicely. I would have left the rear deck speakers alone, running off OEM amp power as they are just for rear fill. Then add subs in the trunk.

Focal makes an excellent component set in 4". Great upgrade for front soundstage. Also, the LOC is a "line output converter" It is just a way to convert speaker wires to RCA outputs. The clean sweep erases the factory equalizer programmed by BMW and sets everything to flat.

The LOC I am using does a bit more than you describe. It has internal summing. This feature combines the various input signals into one signal. If you input all of the available signals for you system (i.e. highpass, low pass outputs) you can then turn them into one complete flat signal. It's pretty cool device for the price.
