Can I swap the 6x9 sub with this Pyle 10" sub without removing seat?

I'm inclined to go the additive-route with the 12" in the trunk - unless someone thinks the results would be inferior or only marginally-better than the factory sub.
I would NOT remove the factory sub as leaving a hole in the rear deck will increase cabin noise from the fuel pump and rear suspension. If the 12" sub can transmit bass from the trunk through/around the fuel tank and trunk liner into the cabin, having a 6x9 hole in the rear deck should not be acoustically-relevant to bass transmission.

It seems that loosing trunk space is the biggest negative of this approach.

That amp will put out maybe 1/3 of its actual rated power. Boss tends to overrate their amps by a huge margin. Should be fine for that sub though.
The box volume is a bit below what the recommended volume is for the sub, I'd suggest getting a small pack of poly fill and filling the box with it, it'll improve sound a bit.

Claimed max outputs on amps and speakers are rather meaningless. They're bigger numbers, which draw attention, but are certainly not the numbers to really rely on. That said, it should certainly give more than the factory 6x9 does.

I've read other threads to repair the 6x9 and many people break proprietary x308 parts in the process (seat belt cover plastic, rear deck, etc.) that puts the 6x9 repair cost well over 140 (and I'm not confident to be able to avoid breaking the plastic bits any better than other people)
My prior post said 300w based on reviews of that amp from people that tested its output to be about 300w rms, which perfectly matches the Pioneer 12" sub rms, although I'm not sure if the reviewer took into account running at 4 ohms, if not then the real wattage will be only 150w, which is not amazing but better than the 40w @ 4 ohms (claimed 50w) of the factory Alpine amp pushing the 6x9.
