There’s 300 watts rms on my 5 channel amp so I was thinking of getting a smaller sub for that. Did you keep the rest of the old bose stuff in and functioning or disconnect it?

I removed all Bose drivers. I use Hybrid Audio Technology drivers (Legatia SE line) Most IASCA SQ competition winners are using Hybrid Audio drivers. Best bang for buck drivers on the market today. Comparable to dynaudio, scan speak, old German made MB Quart but at a better price point. Developed by an electric engineer (Scott Buwalda), his vehicle using his products holds the record for the highest combined scored in any organized sound quality competition in history, world wide. If you want the very best in SQ, I would highly recommend giving these drivers a try.
Ok, that aside, the new vehicles are making it harder to setup nice SQ audio systems. The current generation Camaro requires an interface to do this, and currently there are only two available. I am using the toslink digital output on the NavTV unit, going straight to the Hertz H8 DSP, then sending signal to 3 class D amps (Hybrid Audio also).
Using digital outputs, I have found, gives highest quality sound output without the interference and white noise that can be present using Analaog connections.
