Finally did it guys cut the dash in a major way. Not quite complete yet I still need to make the carbon fiber trim plate.
The processors made the system sound 400% better. Boston GT-50, Boston Z6 Carbonfiber compoents, custom Sub enclouser 6 x 6.5inch subs (slot port), Alpine head unit and Alpine Pro Bass shakers one under each seat.
Sound staging is amazing; the vocals have more realism and the base has more depth and punch.
Still need to make the speaker rings to hid the mounting screws on the sub enclouser (hardtop only)
i would like to take a listen to your car.

Will this work with stock speakers and headunit? I dont want to overpower or send the wrong signal. 
Here is the audio signal path as it is wired now.
Head unit RCA's through a balancing transformer to XLR through the processors XLR out of the processors then through another transformer to convert the balanced XLR back to RCA through the Boston GT-50 then out to the components.
I was told the RCA to XLR and XLR to RCA transformers were not necessary however I did this to prevent any mismatched electrical impendence between the types of cables and to prevent any electrical buzz/hum.

Negative this setup will not work with the stock head unit unless you get a speaker level to RCA converter; and even then you will need an external amplifier to drive the speakers.
