anyone have a rear speaker they are not using? I have one not working #25660131? I hate to put crappy BOSE back in, but don't have the money for a new set right now.

There are eight 2 ohm speakers. There's one that I've been unable to find a replacement for, two 1" tweeters in the A-pillars, two 6.5" speakers in the front doors, two 5.25" speakers in the rear doors, and the most pathetic 10" subwoofer I've ever seen. You can run any speakers you want--however, keep in mind that 4 ohm+ speakers will not be as loud for a given volume setting. Given the fact that the Bose amplifier is miserably underpowered, you'd be well-advised to run your speakers through a signal integrator.
The deepest 10" subwoofer that'll fit in the hole in the rear deck is the Infinity 1062w. The front door speakers are the easiest to replace. The rear 5.25" speakers can be replaced with 6.5" speakers, but you'll have to modify the door. I would not advise simply running a LOC (line-out converter) into a monoblock amplifier for the subwoofer because the signal will be delayed enough to be noticeable. That's where something like the JBL MS-8 comes into play. FWIW, I recommend the Hertz ESK 165L.5 for the front and the rear.

If you're asking the question, I should probably start at ground zero.

The factory sub I took out with my 15" sub install but I later put it back in because I was having some weird cancellation issues up front with the sub facing backwards and the hole above it and the sound waves reflecting off the rear trunk. Common issues... put the factory sub back in and it fixed it, better spl and response. The magnet on the factory sub is about the size of a quarter it is a joke. LOC works fine for my JBL BP1200.1 mono amp.
Also, every bose tweeter I've seen before has been a 1/2" plastic piece of junk, but I haven't looked at this one. I would highly doubt it is a 1" but I could be wrong. Again thanks for the info, one last question...
Those of you who have installed components and using the stock bose amp... did you use the existing bose crossover (I know its probably built into the amp) or did you use the crossover that came with your components? Anybody buy some components that the tweeter fits in the stock location? The Infinity Kappas I installed in last car were massive... had to flush mount in door.
Here's my current Image Dynamics sub. Unfortunately I am probably pulling it soon as I have a second kid due in April and might have to fit a double stroller in here. I have a shallow mount 8" Pioneer sub and box coming that I am going to try out. Downfiring .15cf box... box is only 5" tall including feet.
