Thinking about trying this first and if it goes OK doing the Alpine upgrade.
I wouldn't advise it - the SWS-8 subs require a lot more power than the stock items - more than the head unit is capable of delivering.

It's just as easy to wreck a speaker by underpowering it as it is over powering it, so I'd say do Alpine upgrade first (or at the same time) else you'll wreck your new subs.

I haven't found anywhere in the UK that sells them directly. They are a number of US based vendors on ebay. You're looking at about $350 dollars shipped for the pair.
