The Blose units in the C6 have only one amp located in the passenger side foot-well next to the fuse box. If you want to install an aftermarket HU while keeping the Blose speakers you will need some converters. Like the Peripheral GMAH24 and the GMAHCM, or the PAC AOEM-GM24. However, why anyone would want to keep the Blose speakers and amp is beyond me since THAT is the weak link of the Blose system, not the HU. You will be better off replacing the whole damn thing...at least IMO.
