Upgrading Speakers in 2023 Defender 110

Hello. New owner of a 2023 110. I received my defender with 6 speakers which I believe is the base system. I only have Treble and Bass adjustments in the PIVI. I noticed that I have a subwoofer under the driver's seat, but it must not be working.
My question is. If I replace the Tweeter and woofer in the front doors is Audison a speaker that will plug and play or do I need an adapter? I am looking at the Audison APH 165 kit that has the woofers and tweeters with a crossover. In addition is there an adapter needed to plug the stock connector into the new speakers?
Lastly, where would I tap off of a wire to fit a self-powered subwoofer under the load space cover?
I appreciate anyones assistance as the stock speakers are bad.

Welcome to the forum,
1st. forget 4ohm speakers, half the volume with our amplifier in the Defender. You'll need 2ohm.
This will reduce your search for speakers with over 90% and increase serious the price.
No need for a crossover, active.
You will need speaker rings or ( as I did with the rear speakers ) remove the driver from the original speaker.
Than the connectors will stay the same.

Well, the O/P disappeared but l want to fit a subwoofer to my 2022 90 Commercial, which doesn't have one as standard.

l can get the subwoofer from a breaker, and can see where it fits, but how would l connect it to the amplifier?

I did activate the subwoofer with the IIDTool.
The subwoofer adjustments appear in the pivi audio settings.
Problem with this setting is that the woofers in the door not receive full bass anymore.
So my 6 speaker systeem sounded a lot worse.
Went back to No Subwoofer setting.
Again, sound deadening and good speakers..
Really all You need. No Mud flaps for my 90.!

Can you tell me more about how you activated the subwoofer with the IIDTool? I can’t figure out which configuration to use to get it to turn on. Thanks!
