It's all or nothing with Boom. Replace amps and all speakers, or leave it all in. Any other amps will be too much for those Boomtastic speakers. Any other speakers with that Boomtastic amp, won't get enough power.

List all the speakers you're planning.

Have the HU flashed? Or running BT line levelers?

The Stinger isn't going to run 6 speakers. Just not enough power. We need to know what speakers you're using.

Looks like it's a 2012. So if true, it's the old HK head unit.

I not sure you should wire front lowers and uppers to the same channel. Want to be able to set gains and freq differently. They have different requirements coming from different locations.
