Have you seen a DIY thread on that install? I'd love to do that as well. Thanks for all the input, guys!

I had the Bose, I just bought an add-an-amp harness and tapped into existing sub leads and installed my own turn on switch(you could easily tie into something that uses accesory turn-on as well I'm sure).

If you do replace them with aftermarkets, you'll have to mount them with self-tappers. The "true" speaker size is 6 3/4", but any 6 1/2" will do. Some companies make the oversized GM 6 3/4" sizes though. For the wiring, you can buy speaker harness adapters that will plug into the stock speaker harness. You can get these at your local stereo shop or Best Buy.
One more thing, the Bose speakers are two ohm, whereas most aftermarkets are 4ohm, so you may notice a slight difference in output.

Thanks for the tips! I found some Infinity Reference speakers that are two ohm, I might buy four of those and do all the speakers at once...
