I want to keep the OEM look, but hate the way the BOSE sounds. Has anyone upgraded their speakers and the BOSE amp to something more powerful, is it even possible?

It’s tricky and not easily predictable. The Bose system Nissan provides in the Z is proprietary and is not very adaptable to blending with aftermarket components. The best thing to do is remove all the cheap Bose components replacing these with a quality CES. If that isn’t practical, I would “live” with what you have.
I did try doing this (adding an Eclipse amp), but the effort was hardly worth it.

I did it & followed Zboater's setup below:

Also, did the Bose upgrade from Frankmusic:

Your HU should be SAT ready. Just use the PacNiss to get CD quality sound from Sirius.

I'm in Carlsbad.
I have a 2003 so it isn't wired for sat radio. I already have sirius installed through FM transmitter (sounds bad).
Can you recommend a shop or did you do it yourself?

jlimquest thanks for those links, I am going to do what FrankMusic did, glad to hear you can keep the stock HU and still get decent sound.
