Default C6 Vert Questions

Can anyone tell me the size of the Bose factory amp under the passenger seat and the XM antenna under the waterfall?

I have a crazy thought and if it is not doable, please tell me.

So I recently installed a new head unit (Kenwood DDX-9904s) and steering wheel with audio and phone controls in my 2006 Vert. I love the sound with the stock speakers, but I want more out of it.

So this is what I am planning. I am going to go with Kenwood all the way around since I have great luck with Kenwood. So the front speakers I going with Kenwood XR-1700P and the rear speakers will be Kenwood KFC-139PS. I going with the Kenwood XR401-4 and I would want to put it in the factory Bose amp location. Last would be the subwoofer and I would like to use the Kenwood KSC-SW11 powered sub and place it in the factory XM antenna location.

So am I crazy or do you think that this would be doable?

Bose is approx. 9.5" x 7, XM piece is approx. 8 x 4.5 inches.

Not a whole lot of point in spending that much on speakers and not running real amps to them.
