Someone asked this on another forum site and I gave my .02. While not an expert and I have yet to remove the door panels on my car, the 10-incher in the Premium systems doors is probably very thin. Similar to the 10-inch from the first generation M45 (photos below).
That was a very anemic sounding woofer. Also if you added an aftermarket sub to the doors, besides being thin mount like the Pioneer, EarthQuake, or other subs that are less than 3-inches deep. Another consideration is dampening the doors.... My doors rattle as it is with the stock system, add an aftermarket woofer, with aftermarket power and you are asking for trouble.
In my own car, I am planning on adding a sub in the spare-tire well and even placing capacitors on my door speakers to attenuate the bass there so to elimenate any rattle. (Capacitors on speakers are like bass blockers and cut out the lowest frequencies).

Also, were there any hidden clips that might get broken when taking off the panel?! Thats why I hate doing it, but might have to just break down and do it.

I don't know if these will work as a direct "Drop In Replacement" for the low profile 10" Bose Subs in the doors, but I might consider changing to these Pioneer Subs with sound matting. Approximately 3" mounting depth, but not sure if they will fit until I pull my stock subs out of the door.
