Any upcoming plan on this? Or give up the hope and look for local shops for the job?

Since I have all Rennspec's harnesses and adapters for my system installed neatly with solid quality + perfect OEM fitment, now I'm really not liking my JL Microsub+ 8" box laying around on the rear deck.
Do you have any plan to make custom box to fit on the rear deck that can incorporate nice box + amp mounting area?
If you have any plan, I def. want to buy one!

I don't want to leave you hanging, so if you need something quicker then finding a local place to do something custom might be the best option.

Esotan has had very limited availability for the past few months, but we are hoping to receive a shipment in late June.

dynaudio on a bose amp is silly IMO, you are getting about 10% of what the esotar 430 is capable, same goes for the esotec mid bass and tweeter, if you want better sound go to a professional shop and get a zen interface and an amp if you want better sound IMO

However, we've had great results when installing Esotan mids/tweeters and Esotec tweeters with the stock Bose amp.
Not everyone has the enthusiasm for a $5-10K custom system, so this is a great middle ground.

Yes, Esotar mids and Esotec woofers do best with a bit more power than the Bose amp can provide.

I learned my lesson on my prior car where a $7500 sound system yielded $0 return on resale. I am doing this car in stages. Replaced the tweeters with Dynaudio. Added a 10" powered sub box on the rear deck that I can remove and resell. The sound is much improved. I am hoping the Esotar mids get me where I will be satisfied. If not they can be used with a future amp upgrade. No risk.
Stages is really the way to go. The weakest points of the Bose system are the tweeters and mids...and improving those areas may be enough without having to go further.
PS - I believe you ordered the Esotan mids, not Esotar. Dynaudio's line names are all way too similar. 😂

I have installed Nav TV Zen-V, Helix P Six DSP amp (120w/ch x 6) and JL Microsub+ 8" (250w built-in amp with 8" W3 woofer, I had this on my garage for a while).
Obviously sound quality is so much better since it was full audio job.
If you're thinking of switching out speakers only, I do not recommend Dynaudio Esotar 430 miss or Esotec MW812 at all. They're very power hungry speakers.
Rennspec has some good options for not so power hungry aftermarket speakers that will work decently with stock amp.
I believe if you dig in this thread, you will see other guys who are enjoying stock amp with Rennspec's speaker upgrades.

looking at some zapco amps and the Zapco ST6X DSP would be an interesting option for the 9x1 platform, as the connectors are on the short edges:
