Default C5 New H/U vs Speakers?

Hi folks, Im replacing my Bose H/U with Aftermarket, Ive got the Pac ROEM Ive got the DIN Kit and Antenna Adapter, My question is with the Front and rear speakers. First it appears that with the Pac Kit it says I will loose the sound from my 3.5s and if so do I need to scrap the PAc and go the rout of amp and replace bose all together? Is there a way to have both the ROEM and 3.5s without adding an amp(maybe just H/U power) Ideally I wanted to Just replace the 3.5s and use the ROEM and later get a Sub setup for the back. I assume with the ROEM kit that the rear are using H/U power just like the Bose did

Also Speaker question( Ive been out of the game for a long time )
What would you rate the top 5 Brands?


Thanks for the help

Look into the Soundgate adapter. Search for the exact model number. It was designed to add an aftermarket h/u while retaining full functions of the weird bose speakers.
