Installing new Subs/Amp/HU, leave Stock Sub or disconnect?

So I'm putting my system from my old car into my new 07 SS/SC tomorrow (yes I have the GMOS-LAN-04, antenna adaptor and all that good stuff) but I have a question:
I can't get to the factory amp to see how it's wired up, but is it possible that by disconnecting the stock sub that it'll boost the power that my rear/fronts/tweeters receive?
Or am I better off just leaving the stock sub connected as a lil extra thump?

if the new subs are 10" then maybe if they are any other size then no. Im not sure if disconnecting the sub gives your rear speakers more power because they are together on 2 channels

Yea I guess I'll disconnect it then, I have a 12" JBL (cant remember the model atm but I know it's rated at 500 rms and 1200 peak), and I have a Rockford 700s bridged together pumping out 700 rms with the gain turned down a touch.
I'm gonna see how the pioneer system sounds with the new amp/sub and see if I really need to replace my mids and highs just yet

Well I'm stuck.. I can't get the freaking H/U in due to the shallow depth in there... crutchfield says it's a 6" - 5/8 depth but i measured it myself, it's not even 6".
How did you guys all get the aftermarket H/U in?
I have a JVC KD-LH300.
