Plus you'd need nine Bose drivers total, with all the wiring required.

FWIW, I used the same Kicker KEY200.4 amp-with-DSP in my Camaro to "bi-amp" better drivers in the dash and doors. That setup uses the amp's DSP to do an active crossover between the door and dash speakers. With its time delays and does a decent job of imaging, and the EQ allows a good frequency response across almost all of the audible range. I didn't do the sound treatment in the doors KHA did because I didn't want to add mass to my car (I autocross and track it). However, if you don't care about that (or you aren't competing at a national level), then you should...because they make noise!

Great feedback and info! Good to hear feedback on the KEY200.4.
