Looking to improve audio in my 2022 Camaro SS with Bose

I recently purchased a sexy 2022 Camaro 2SS. I wanted all the interior bells and whistles and the car delivers, the only downside to the 2SS trim is that comes saddled with a Bose sound system. Upon first listen it doesn't sound too bad but once I step into my other vehicle with a JVC 24-bit deck the difference in audio fidelity becomes very apparent. Just looking at all the options out there for amp integration/bypass, (there aren't many) as the stuff for 2016-2018 Camaro won't work as GM changed from the MOST bus starting 2019......

Sorry, I guess I was too vague. haha
Currently I'm leaning towards using a AXDSPX-ETH1 to bypass the Bose amp, have an aftermarket amp power the factory speakers and have a self powered subwoofer in the trunk. The PDF for the harness looks pretty self explanatory so I should be able to do most of the work myself, I think. haha
I'm no expert, but I've installed stereos with integration harnesses into my other vehicles before successfully.
I have also looked at doing a Sub Thump 2016-2023 Camaro With BOSE Plug N Play T-Harness With ANC Defeat Harness Kit, which is like the simplest way to add a sub but keeping the Bose amp.
I am however open to any other suggestions/alternatives you guys might have for this car.....
As far as budget goes, I'm not really looking to wake up the neighbors, I just need it to sound good for me......

Most here are not into "waking up the neighbors", even though they probly can. So your in the right place. But in my opinion integrating into your stock system and adding an amp to power your stock speakers isn't the way to go either.

You want to improve sound, great. That starts up front. Find you a decent set of components and do proper sound treatment for these components. Deadening the doors, decoupling the door card, and sealing the door cavities. Dont worry about your rear speakers for the moment. Focus improving sound where you sit. A camaros cabin is small and rear speakers is unnecessary. I can tell you all the generic mumbo jumbo like get a DSP, and go 3 way but it sounds like you don't want to head in that direction.

There's plenty of ppl here willing to help. But withough a specific goal, and the amount of doe you want to put out, they'll just be throwing darts in the dark.

I swapped an x901-5 into my Ford before I sold it, and to be honest, it was pretty close it sound to my HD900/5 that I took out of it. Not a bad little amp IMHO.

There is a sweet little 8-Channel DSP Amp that has just been released, that can be integrated with most new cars...
