The long and short of it is that Bose equipment is junk. While I can see the merits of keeping the Bose enclosure to keep a stock looking install, but at least replace the guts with decent components. If you do choose to run the Bose as-is, take the hint and do rewire it.
As for amps, any good amp should be 2 ohm, if not 1 ohm stable (the JLs "slash" series are 1 ohm stable). 3 ohms is nothing to do a good car amp.
At the end of the day, I would just install good components and enjoy good sound.
