I Turly appreciate all you’re help the sound overall definitely sounds better but I just feel like the base is no where near what I had in my F80 with HK, would you maybe recommend just runing the AudioControl ACM-2.300 just for the subs and maybe taking out the match 10 amp?

I don't think that you understand how to set and tune a DSP. Good luck.

Everybody has their own taste on how things should sound, therefore it is much better to just take the basic settings and fiddle around until you have a sound that you like.

Thats not as easy as it sounds

I always like to work from the front to the back, each separate speaker at a time and when I am satisfied with one speaker then mute it and move on to the next.

When all speakers are done then its time to join all channels and make them work together.

With the G20 the weak point for me are the 2 underseat subs, they sound horrible and get distorted very easy.... but a good external sub will solve that.

Had some leftover plywood and ordered some speaker box felt from ebay and mounted the amp off the rear deck.

Which LOC did you used for RS2.1200?
It seems RS2.1200 itself has a high level input port (250mV – 8V) and I wonder LOC is necessarily required. But I'm not sure HK BASS outputs below 8V.

HK Booster outputs in the 26V peak level.

The Bass Boost feature of this amp can get a deeper and louder bass from the OEM woofers without the need of replacing them.

If you are not satisfied with the extra bass of this aftermarket amp setup then replace the OEM woofers with SWS-8Xi and the Soundstream amp.
Bumping this to see if you or anyone else has any other amp suggestions since it appears the Soundstream Reserve RS2.1200 is out of production and not available anywhere.
