Do you know the RMS wattage of the BA speakers offhand? I'm worried these JL amps could blow them.

The stock 6.5" Boston speakers are 2 ohm, 50W. Same for the 6x9 woofers in the rear. The front tweeters are 4 ohm, 20W. The rear tweeters are probably the same as the fronts, but I haven't tested them. You will only overpower the speakers if you blast it at full volume or send a clipped signal to them. If you listen responsibly (basically looking for SQ type listening) and give them good clean power, then putting a lot of power to the speakers will just provide additional dynamic headroom for the speakers. In other words, you'll let the amp operate within it's comfort zone instead of pushing it to its limits.

The reason I was suggesting the XD600/6 is because in the Boston system, the factory amp is 7 channels. You have front left and right (2), front center (1), rear right and left highs (2), and rear right and left lows/woofers (2). If you disconnect/discard the center channel, you would be connecting back 1 for 1. Does that make sense?
