Install real Sub woofers in XK8 convertible rear seat boxes?

Has anyone replaced the rear woofers in the box Premium sound, with sub woofers? Frequency 50 to 300? I found these

Thoughts?

If you are thinking of using the original amplifier - forget it!
With a sensitivity of only 82 dB, and 40 watt or so from the amp, it will not do much.

Oh, good info. I saw a video where the original amp had 200 ' 300 watts, I dont remember the other specs. I was happy they are 2 ohm. Yes I was planning on that so I really appreciate the new info. Thank you.
