Default Boom stage 1 to 2

right now, I have a stage 1 kit installed in my 17 rgs with lowers and speaker lids. So six speakers and two amps. I acquired a stage 2 kit for my tourpak when I was piecing together the pods including the amp. I know I can't run the two stages simultaneously. I know what speakers I'd need to change to up to stage 2. Would I also need to swap the wiring harnesses? Any ideas of the sordid past numbers I'd need?

As you’ve been around on forum for a long time, if you respect opinions of others in audio section, you would not buy boom stage 2.

As I looked deeper, I saw the error of my ways. To go stage 2, I'd need 6 new speakers, all new wiring and need to get a 4th amp (with saddlebag mount) to get use out of 8 speakers. Cheaper to just replace the tourpak speakers with stage 1 and either sell that set or hold onto the amp as a spare.
