Pioneer 6.75" components to go in the doors and tweeters on the dash.
Alpine MRP-F300 to power all three: 50 watts to the components and bridging the 3/4 channels to power the sub which is 150 watts.
AudioControl LC6i to clean up the signals from the Bose amp then to the Alpine amp.
Continue to use the Bose head unit for now; will add a new head unit later.
All the pieces cost me around $440.
The wiring, building the box...probably around $100 because I'm reusing some wiring, adding in some new wiring/pieces, the MDF, liquid nails, screws, poly-fill, broken bits, etc.

I finally got around to hooking everything up weekend before last. To give you an idea of the power and all, I have the amp gains set to nominal-no additional wattage turned up from there. I also have the LC6 sub channel set to 50/50. The bass is right where I want it, and the volume control on the Bose headunit never goes over 20 as anything above that is too loud for my ears to handle. If I turn the sub gains up, the sub will hit extremely hard; too much for my tastes, too much rattle, and my box is under spec so I don't want to push it.
