OK, finally finished. Here are some pictures of adding a 6 1/2 speaker to my existing Boss Rebel bluetooth system. It was actually pretty easy and rounds out the sound really well.

To the existing system I added:

-SSL Monoblock 200 watt amp
-Boss 200 watt 6 1/2" marine speaker
-Custom enclosure

Total cost about $75

The only issue with these little amps is the last of low level output so I had to add the input into the secondary amp via the high level input. The secondary amp is a monoblock but it takes a stereo input. You can either run it fill range or switch it to LPF and just run it at a woofer. I played with both and actually like it better full range. The secondary and and speaker are WAY louder than the Boss system. I am trying not to really crank it until the speaker breaks in but already at 50% of the volume that you would need to hear the Boss 3" clearly it is now loud enough to blow you out of the cab.

Still new but so far in riding around the neighborhood it sounds WAY better.

Here are some pictures:

Nice work Duckiller, looks good! Yeah, I think an 8" would've been real tight in that spot, if possible at all.
It should sound better in full range if it's a two way speaker. It's actually producing mid bass and I bet it does sound fuller.
Speaking of blowing you out of the cab, I lost this video for a bit but found it again. Don't know if you ever saw it.
This is two 4" Noams, two 6 1/2'' and an 8" tube sub. 350 watts total.
