Are you keeping the Bose stuff?

I replaced all my Bose with a JVC HDR1 H/U, Infinity speakers, Alpine amps, and an Alpine 12" sub

Front:
midrange- dynaudio 8s at 370 watts each
tweets - dynaudio md102 at 90 watts each. So about 1000w to the front.

No rear speakers because this is an SQ/staging oriented install.

Sub is a short run stereo image 12, 370 watts

As far as aftermarket speakers, I'm happy with the stock radio, and only the tweeters in the front replaced with Boston Acoustics ones. Sounds great.
