I did car audio for many years and we had good stuff, tube amps and lots of good speakers as most are trash. We had a calibrated analyzer too. Implementing a (mid)woofer/tweeter in a car is not easy, well its easy, just making it sound good and have any image isn't. The typical 6" mounted low on the door panel and tweeter on the A pillar usually sounds horrible. So the Bose with a full range driver EQ'd at the amp worked pretty good.

I found just adding a sub and amp to those Bose systems which then allowed you to turn down the bass from flat at 12 o'clock to say about -10dB at 8 o'clock(AM) gave much better sound from the Bose setup by not asking it to produce all the bass. That job went to the sub that did it much better. It was that way in my 92 Maxima. I just added a single sealed 12" in a very small box and A $200 Kenwood mono bass amp with speaker level inputs (needed since the stock radio had no pre outs)and it did quite well.
