The majority of low end speaker designs rely on the same effect. Cutting the unreproducible bass, and letting the speaker do everything else. It's how the dash speakers are set up.
I played around some with Option A yesterday, and found by setting the HPF to around 80hz for the stock door speakers, I'm getting a nice sound in terms of the bass, with the sub taking care of the bass below 80hz. These settings seemed to provide the best combo for deeper bass songs (tested with Maroon 5 "Moves Like Jagger"), and songs with a bit higher bass (tested with AC/DC "Girls Got Rythm").
