I had my car upgraded like this:

Installed a new DLS CA41 power amp in the boot and fed forward to the front doors where a got Jenhert door panels that fit into the door pockets. I then had DLS reference 3 speaker systems installed in the doors with crossovers, both in the existing tweeter and mid range holes and the mid bass woofer in the door pocket panels.

The back shelf I replaced with crisp Diamond D342i 4" and I left the exsting subs under the seats powering straight of the head unit.

With a bit of balancing you can get this set up to work very nicely and crisp with just enough bass not to make you sound Miami.

I have looked at the options of increasing the bass a little with replacing the subs under the seats but I am not convinced that there will be more bass than that from the doors.

The head unit has stayed as it is as I wanted to keep the IDrive controls.

No real cutting needed other than removing the door pocket lips.

Hope that helps
