Leave the ghosts or take them?

I've just sold my old F31 and the buyer will collect the week after next.

I'm taking out the amp, but wondering if I should just leave the ghosts in there too?

I need to replace them with something as I blew up the old subs with my BimmerTech amp (Which is coming out!!!)

Can anyone suggest some plug and play drop-in subs that I could put in the car for next to nothing. Doesn't have to be anything decent.....

Old HiFi subs would be cheapest option. The Earthquake subs are $235 new but that is less then Ghost. Maybe not worth the effort. Maybe find them used.

I ended up selling the car with everything included at a slightly higher price. Wasn't worth my time to take it all apart and re-wire it all.

I'm considering installing a Revenant amp at some point. I find the HiFi set-up a bit flat so hoping that will help.

I've been told the speakers you get in the HiFi including the sub is actually fairly good, and it's mainly the amp that struggles. If I feel I need to change anything, I can do so piece by piece. (There's only so much I can spend at one time without the wife divorcing me.)
