Default aftermarket stereo install

the fornt dash speakers are not amplified I'm guessing, and the wires behind the radio are all used up theres no extras for those 2 speakers, where do they get their power from?

On a Bose system those "speakers" are absent; just two usless holes in the dash...

There is nothing under the seat of any C4 that is Audio related. If yours has something there, it is not from the factory.

I guess I have an aftermarket amp there, because I have an amp under the seat.

When I pulled my stock stereo on my 89 I added speakers to the dash. I did not use the front door speakers, and I added 6X9's in the back. I also have a sub woofer added. I like the "presence" of sound from the front dash though its not very loud at this time.
