I installed the amplifier for the door speakers
I decided to use the OEM CD-Changer bracket that I bought from Jon/78F350. The bracket could easily accommodate a much larger amp.
Here's the model I'm using.
My original plan was to follow Stl-986's suggestion and power the rear and dash speaker from my Pioneer head unit. However, I am now planning to purchase a separate 4-channel amp and use it to replace the 6-channel Haes. Here's the model I'm considering:

In retrospect, I should have planned ahead which would have allowed me to install both amps at the same time.
Controlling the woofers in the doors from the subwoofer connections on the head unit has made a noticeable improvement in the bass response and made the sound more spacious.
I will be experimenting with setting the gain control on the amp and the equalizer and sub controls on the head unit for a few days while I attempt to optimize the sound. I also need to figure out how to anchor the top of the bracket to the bulkhead that separates the frunk from the battery compartment. My original plan to use drywall anchors didn't work.
