Those are some mighty small amps! Are they similar to Alpine's PDX line (digital) or something completely different?

BTW....GO PACK!! (you know I had to, as it's Packer-Bear week!)

price is double for PAcker fans

Anything is better than the PDX amps.
They are not a favorite of mine
With that said
if your wanting quality
call me on pricing for ARC and KEnwood
these are really nice amps
Going to be more than the RF amps but nicer for sound quality.
These RF amps are nice entry level mini amp

On a 2011 GS with the Blose stereo would it be a plug and play if I just wanted to add these amps? Thanks.

- - Could we please extend that question?? - -

I just bought the same car mentioned above, with Bose audio and Nav headunit. I would LOVE to have a complete PLUG & PLAY kit to replace the crap Bose amp and all OEM speakers. I really have no interest in replacing the headunit or adding a subwoofer at this time...

SO -

- Will this Rockford amp (or an Arc, etc.) fit in the OEM location that the Bose amp currently occupies (in the passenger footwell fuse block area) ?

- Can it comfortably drive aftermarket 6.5 & 3.5 component speakers installed in the doors (acting together as channels 1 & 2 for full-range)? They would replace the stock 3.5 door speakers and those stupid Bose bass puffers with built-in amps.

- Could it ALSO drive aftermarket rear 5.25's for mid-bass/rear fill, setup as the 3rd & 4th channels?

- Would this provide a legitimate UPGRADE in sound quality over the stock Bose system, or is it just not enough and a waste of money?

- Could DDMods create such a shippable package, designed for easy installation by the car's owner? The kit would need to include:
  • amp
  • all speakers (well-matched to this amp)
  • installation brackets
  • door plates
  • all required wiring (pre-cut to a reasonable length so I don't have to buy a 100ft spool of the stuff...)
  • etc.
- What kindof money (approximate) would we be talking about for a total kit?

THANKS FOR THE INFO !!

YES
the RF amp easily will as well as the KS series mini amps from ARC

You will want 6.5 inch components for doors with adapter plates. The RF will power the speakers. For Sound Quality I would go with the ARC if in the budget. Nothing wrong with the RF but the ARC is known for great sound quality with many C6 customers and members

- Could it ALSO drive aftermarket rear 5.25's for mid-bass/rear fill, setup as the 3rd & 4th channels?
yes easily

- Would this provide a legitimate UPGRADE in sound quality over the stock Bose system, or is it just not enough and a waste of money?
to be honest
chengin speakers liek this will help. To maximize best sound quality a new head unit is always best. With that said you would be still very happy in upgrading amps and speakers to the stock head unit vs factory


- Could DDMods create such a shippable package, designed for easy installation by the car's owner? The kit would need to include:We do this daily
For best way to do this we simply just ask for a phone call. This we we can disuss all the options from budget to what your goals are for future changes as well.
  • amp
  • all speakers (well-matched to this amp)
  • installation brackets
  • door plates
  • all required wiring (pre-cut to a reasonable length so I don't have to buy a 100ft spool of the stuff...)
  • etc.
- What kindof money (approximate) would we be talking about for a total kit?
I have kits from 400.00 and up depending on what amps we use and what speakers. A package is available for any and all budgets
THANKS FOR THE INFO !!

we need the pac audio oem-gm24 harness to add an amp
using this harness gets us the preouts for adding new amps and speakers to still retain the factory head unit
