You have gotten good advice so far but i will add to it.

Ditch the 6X9's and the cube sub enclosure in favor of a Zenclosure for your Z.

Keep the amps and use them. Take your 4 channel amp and bridge it to 2channels for you fronts and get a decent set of 2-way components.

DO NOT BUY A CHEAP LOC!!!!! That is the best advice I can give you!

I have attached a schematic to make a high end LOC that I paid over a $100 bucks for and I reverse engineered it to be made for about 10 bucks. I wont mention the brand as I am sure the company would not apprechiate what I am doing but I will tell you they are the best in the industry.

This LOC is designed to be used with an amplified signal up to 100watts rms per channel. you can wire it to the speaker outputs on the stock head unit and then you can run RCA directly to your amps.

You will need to make 2 of them. This LOC will give you the cleanest signal without degradation of sound that you get from the LOCs that use transformers.

I have only seen 4 ohms the bose are 2 ohms or different. I would only put 4 ohm speakers in place of the stock unless you are installing a external amp.
