Default audio question

Hey guys so i just got a c5 and it has a crappy boss touchscreen along with everything else stock i believe. I wanted better audio quality so i just ordered a JVC headunit along with the interface to make it compatible with the bose system. And I thinking about upgrading just the speakers in the doors and back the 3.5 and 6.5. I saw on other threads that with the bose audio system its finiky to run aftermarket things but it only runs the 8in woofers in the door. Am I able to just connect the aftermarket 3.5 and 6.5 in speakers to the stock harness and run it along with the bose amp? or would I need to ditch the bose system completely to run anything else? So all in all i would have the JVC double din with the interface connector, and aftermarket 3.5 and 6.5s everything else stock.

That should work. Depending on your ears, don't know how much of an improvement it will be.

Depends on your budget and what you're wanting from it OP. Just putting in a HU and speakers will do very little in the way of improving sound quality. Quality will not improve without an amplifier. Just my .02.
