Default S5 Subwoofer Upgrade

Im looking to upgrade the factory B&O subwoofer in my 2014 S5. Ive looked into buying a new sub and installing it in the original spot but I know this limits my options. Does anyone know of any other good options for a good sub that is small enough to not take up to much room in the trunk? Ive looked at the JL Audio MicroSub+ just don't know to much about them.

Fascinating. A $5k or more stereo system option and people want to upgrade it?

The B&O system is amazing, don't get me wrong. The subwoofer, however, just doesn't get it done in my opinion. I like a little bit more bass than what the factory sub produces.

Pretty sure the B&O option on the B8.5 S5 is just $850. And it's well known that bass output is somewhat lacking on these models.
