Finished! Whew... it's 12:17AM my time, took me about 2 hours on the passenger side, but most of that was because it was night and I was working with a shop light clamped to the "oh shi*t" handle on the passenger side. Normally I would have worked on it during the day, but I'm leaving at 6:30AM for Helen, GA to experience a little Oktoberfest and wanted my tunes in stereo for the 6 hour drive.
They sound even better in stereo el_duderino!
I also installed some doubled-up 7/16" tall (for a total of 14/16" tall) weatherproof foam around my spacers. It REALLY helped with the midbass as you others suggested it would. Also reduced panel rattling. With the foam being black, almost looks stock too
Also figured out how to secure the spare so it no longer rubs the RCAs when I make sharp turns or quick stops (rachet tie-down, carabeener (however you spell it) and relocating the jack).
I really need to tune the amp gains and get the sub put back in and balanced, but it feels good to have the hard parts done.
Rest is easy breezin' and tweaking to my hearts content
Thanks all for your help.

Wow, talk about raising from the dead. I haven't seen elduderino here in a while, so don't be surprised if he doesn't respond. DLS UP6 is a component set. A very good one at that. Yes you can buy it online, and there is a TON of info on this forum. elduderino really pushed these speakers, so alot of forum members have them. Also, to the other poster, there are alot of threads on hooking up an amp to the stock system as well. Do a search, I guarantee you it's been covered. You can use a LOC or just splice RCA's, unless you use an amp with line level inputs. I would probably use a line driver, as the source signal is pretty weak.

Yes, the outputs from the bose are not speaker-level. They are low voltage outputs. You simply tap before the amp, and you can use either RCA's, LOC, or line driver. Take a look at the top of this forum under "stickies". There is one entitled "Upgrading sound system and keeping stock HU". If that doesn't answer your question, then nothing will.

el_duderino lives here. avincar
He's an official internet dealer for DLS products.
I can attest to the UP6's quality.They are very natural and warm. IMO They are a good complement to a more detailed/technical amplifier vs. a "warm" tube sound amplifier. I say this because I had a DLS RA30 amp for about eight months before the sub channel blew. I now have a loaner DLS CA41 until my other amp arrives.
According to DLS sources (via Ken) the difference between the different lines of their amps are the Classic (CAxx) and Ultimate (Axx) lines sound more detailed and offer more definition. The Reference (RAxx) series has a "warmer" sound. I found this to be true with regard to the RA amp vs the CA in my experience. I hear more separation and distinctness with the CA41 then I did with the RA30. I actually like the sound of the RA41 better with these components.
The Zapco 1000.4 I have on order is supposed to lean more to the detail sound sound. I'm stoked to see how the UP6s sound with a bump in power and a detail oriented amp. Hope I don't blow them.
