don't waste your time, effort or money.
you will be disappointed.
as was stated , the amp has a low pass filer set at 50hz
thus a Woofer below that frequency will get very little power feed from the amp below that frequency and you wont get much uummppgghh
that is a factory setup and i doubt you can change that as it was likley in the DSP and not just a pot or some jumpers

Odds are the entire SYSTEM has been designed as a system, and there is no low bass response (under 50Hz) available at any point in the system. It wastes power and when you design a system for a subwoofer, you filter out all the bass from all other lines, so it cannot distort other signals and does not waste power. And whatever the maker decides, say 50-200 Hz, gets sent to the subwoofer only. The other speakers don't even see the high side of that cut.
If this is really important to you, consider going to a high end shop and really dropping your wallet. There are competitions in the "car audio" business where they crank out so much deep bass that the side windows are replaced with armored glass--literally--so they won't shatter.
And there's lots of crap on the discount auto shelves, that will promise you the world for $49.99, and deliver somewhat less.
This is not to say that you can't make almost any base car stereo sound better by upgrading the speakers, but the B&O system already starts out with "upgraded" speakers, and no speakers will ever exceed the limits of the system.
