So, Ive decided I want to add an aftermarket Amp for my door speakers in addition to my 10" Custom Box & Amp which I have here:

Ive done hours of research into the Harnesses required, and to be honest, Im now rather confused...so, let me explain exactly what it is Im looking for, and any help from people who have ALREADY installed A.M. Amps will be greatly appreciated:
Ive ran into a few harnesses which keep the Chime and Rap functions, but for the life of me, I cant determine if these harnesses simply allow aftermarket Stereo Head unit to tie into the existing Bose Amp, or if they re-route the Chime signal from the Bose amp, back into the output from the harness intended to go to an aftermarket Amp
A) I have a Bose system, I spliced into the factory "subwoofer" with a RCA line adapter for my Subwoofer Amp - I Am NOT looking for Any info regarding Subwoofer Amp, and any harnesses I install that have RCA outlets, I will re-route my existing subwoofer amp to.
B) First I want to add just an aftermarket Amp for the Door speakers, and Keep the Head Unit...However, I havnt seen any CLEAR info on any aftermarket METRA or other Harness Mfgr's on this....so: Does a Harness exist which keeps Chime and allows for an Aftermarket Amp for the Door Speakers using the Factory Head Unit without cutting the speaker wires that exit from the Bose Amp? If yes, does anyone have the Mfgr and P/N?
Second: If this Harness exists, does it splice into wires under the console going to/from the Bose Amp, or behnid the radio, or does it bypass the bose amp alltogether?
C) In a few months I plan on Replacing the Stock Head Unit with a Pioneer Stereo...I think there are several Harnesses which are made for Bose systems to allow this install..HOWEVER...Its Very unclear if these harnesses simply route the output from the aftermarket stereo to the crappy bose amp, or if they are intended to be used in conjunction with an aftermarket Amp.
Im serious about how many hours Ive tried researching this info, and I really have found no clear info on exactly WHAT or Where the aftermarket harneses route the output to.
Thanks All and Happy Holidays!
