Still though, wonder what it would sound like with a Focal amp, Focal 6x9's and a nice set of Monster Cable RCA's.
Interconnects in the car: prioritize shielding and flexibility. As long as they're good here, you're fine. So your RCAs from BB is just fine. Power/signal wire separation during install even better.

If you've got the dough, Focal & Audison are great. You can buy more inexpensive amps and still get just as good sound (especially in the car): Alpine, Boston, JL, Rockford; typically at 30-50% the cost of those expensive amps.

I'm not too familiar with Sound Ord amps. You say you want to upgrade, but don't really indicate why. Something you don't like about your setup? Seems to be installed and working fine...
