Curious if anyone replaced the 3 1/2 and 5 1/4 speakers (I did with Bostons) then decide to add an amp to bring out the real potential of your new speakers. What kind of amp did you use and where did you mount it?

If I'm not wrong...You will have to replace the Bose amp if you want to get power to the speakers. You can add an amp and run a woofer, but the stock speakers are hooked up to the stock amp, so you can replace the speakers, but you have to replace the stock amp as well.

Thats what im wondering. The stock Bose (or non Bose) amp puts out very little power and not even clean power at that. The 10 inch door speakers are self powered. I was wondering if anyone swapped the stock amp that runs the door/hatch speakers with a quality one and if so where did you mount it.
