Default How much should I spend $$$$$$$$$$

I have a 2006 c6 with the upgraded Bose- Nav etc. I dont want to change my deck , Just want to upgrade amps (s) and speakers. Here are my 2 narrowed down choices.
Upgrade to a Stealth box or Boxology Sub and add an alpine 500 watt amp- Total price. $1500.
Second choice is do the same and also change out all the speakers with high end Bostons, price total $2600, so another $1,100. Just wodering if anyone out there has just done a Stealth box/Boxology and amp- if so were you happy with this ? Will doing just this make a huge difference or does going all the way make the most sense. Any thoughts would help.
Ray

So are you saying - change the door speakers and leave the rears alone.

What he's saying is disconnect the rears. Rear speakers are for fill and cars as small as the Vette just don't need fill. Put your money, time and effort into the front soundstage. Greg's basic layout there is the way to go.
