Like matchbox compact, or fiat 500 compact?

I have the 6spkr base 300A, no external amplifer. I will check out that spade thanks.

This is how my setup looks with the dash removed:

I built a custom plate, mounted it in the default location and added the amp and the crossover. The space is tight but it is all possible without removing the dash.

Thats EXACTLY what I was hoping to do some day...I have a 2018 shaker pro and was wanting to put in an amp for my door 3.5s and 6.5s....would that be possible to do? I would I need to replace the stock amp entirely and run all 8 speakers on an aftermarket amp? I would be willing to go without the rear deck and center channel speakers all together.

It is definitely possible and that's exactly what I did. I run all 8 speakers from that single amp (no center and additional amp for the sub).
You don't have to replace the stock amp, but doing so, gives you more space for the new amp.
Removing the stock amp will eliminate noise cancellation and the fake engine noise (I guess).

The issue is my hu has the amp in it already as its the base 6spkr stereo. How can you get rid of the ACM?

 

[Falk03]

You can change the outputs from speaker level to line level even on the base ACM. Or you can run an amp which accepts speaker level as input.
My amp accepts both depending on the configuration.

So, this is what I have in mind:

Running the door 3.5 and 6.5's into an LC2i, than into a little 4 channel kicker mini amp i have, and leaving the rear deck and center channel plugged in to the stock amp.

Does that sound feasible?
Or would i need to disconnect the stock amp altogether, and leave the rear deck 6.5's and the center 3.5 disconnected?
I would prefer to at least have something coming out of the rear deck, but if its not possible without getting a 6 channel amp, well.....so be it
