The speaker complement in the S4 is: Tweeters and 4" in the front door, ~6"
in the rear doors, and two 6.5" subs in the rear deck.  The system has
active crossovers built-in to the Bose amplifier, which happens to be a
5-channel amp (4 corners and mono sub).  The Bose amplifier also contains
equalization for the particular Bose drivers and car.  It's this EQ that
makes simply dropping in new speakers or a new amplifier sound bad.  To
upgrade you should upgrade both the speakers and amp.

MB Quart makes an adapter for the A4/S4 that allows you to mount a 5 1/4"
driver in the front door.  They also make an adapter for the rear to adapt
the square hole to a round 6.5"
