The 6x9s are subs in these cars and yep that's most likely the amp. You need to replace the speakers in the doors to alter the rest of the sound. If you have an aftermarket amp i suggest running all new wiring

The little box is a bass filter for the 6x9s, not an amplifier. That's why you only hear bass from them.

Yes its called a sub-processor. Its powered to filter the bass but not to amplify the speakers

I used to contemplate getting a high output stereo when i first got the car. After hearing how loud, clear and efficient these systems operate i just said f*@^ it (even without bose). Plus the dash console on the 04 to 06 are not visually aftermarket friendly imo.

Typically you dont need to figure out the stock wiring. If you are amping the door speakers I suggest running new cable and leaving the stock alone. If you arent amping them you may be able to find harnesses for the speakers too. for wiring the headunit you need to get a metra wiring harness so you dont have to mess with the stock wiring in the dash. avoid cutting harnesses if at all possible. makes going back to stock or swapping in new gear later much easier.

what are your speaker wire colors in each door? usually the dark color is negative. brown, black, blue.
