They would be good for midbass, have 4 of them under the seats and like 2 12's in the back. You would definitely need better door speakers and a amp to push them but it should do well to pick up the midbass frequency void between the door speakers and subwoofers.

Get a Ground Zero gzrb16SPL if you seriously find space at a premium but, you want more output than an under-seat subwoofer.

So no separate amplifier is required? I know the subwoofer needs to get the signal from the head unit. Can I connect the signal from my door speakers instead, or it’s a specific cable that’s behind the head unit for subwoofer. I’m kind of a newbie so It’s a learning progress😂

That's correct. The amplifier is built into this unit. If you grab signal from a door speaker (you want to test the frequency for full range) you'll still need to hook up the left and right at the amplifier in order for it to see a "full signal".
