Did they have a fake plastic insert that looked like a speaker? I coulda sworn the guy I bought a 1985 dash pad for my 1984 from had speakers in his dash and it was a Bose car with the Bose speakers in the door and rear. He had those out and was selling them. I couldn't use his door panels because they were cut for the Bose speakers and I didn't want to run 6 speakers off the Kenwood I put in my 1984.

Some head units have 6 powered outs, but not many.
The Kenwood I put in my C4 has 4 powered outs and a set of line outs. One possible configuration would be to put 4x6 2-way speakers in the dash, 6.5" 3-way speakers in the doors and power both of those pairs of speakers from the four powered outs... Then you could use the 2 line outs into some kind of stereo amp and run that to a set of 6x9 3-ways in the rear.
A setup like that should get you very full sound and more than enough volume.

I thought I had posted a narrative of what I have done so far along with the pictures, well anyway I just completed the installation of the new speakers on the Vette. I usewd the black harness connector to power the headunit and the antenna, the other two connectors not used, new speaker wiring and attached a remote turn on and rca cable for the amp and subwoofer to be installed later, right now the sound is great, no more popping and scratchy noise
