so you had bose before this? How does it sound now? I have bose, but I have a touchscreen headunit, and it really pumps compared to the stock unit...I have 2 12's in the back too...Just curious if aftermarket 6x9s make a difference.

I left the factory head unit, Bose amp, and center speaker. I tapped the front and rear outputs from the bose amp to the Soundstream OEM intergration unit. This "sums" the factory outputs to "complete" front and rear channels plus a sub output. The output of the intergration unit connects to the 5 channel amp that powers the front, rear, and sub speakers...
