speaker and amp install

hey guys...so i bought a soundstream amp and boston proseries 60se component speakers for my 2006 coupe. i want to replace the front stock bose speakers, install the amp, and keep my stock head unit.

i've been talking with wrathernaut but keep bugging him with questions and i feel bad about it. i think i have most of it figured out except for the loc. my soundstream amp does not accept speaker level inputs so i know i need a loc. which wires do i connect the loc to? do i connect it to the headunit output wires or the bose amp output wires? also do i connect it to the front or real speaker wires? i only want to replace the front speaker and have my new amp power those so i'm assuming connect the loc to the front speaker wires but i'm not sure. also any recommendations on a good loc? i would need a 2-channel loc, right? thanks!

Soundstream's amps don't take differential-balanced signals, so you have to connect the LOC to the front speaker wires after the Bose amp.

You'll need a two-channel LOC. I don't have any recommendations on a brand.
