My car has the 8-speaker premium setup with two amps. I’ve replaced the two subs/drivers in the front doors with some Sony speakers (they were rattling the door panels), but I would like to know if It would be possible to power a small subwoofer in the trunk with the existing amps?

Thanks for all the information. I was just trying to keep it simple (or cheap
 ) by using the existing amplifier. I figured I'd ask here before I did anything rash, but I assumed that the stock system would be too weak. Is there any way I can get a hold of some similar 8" mid-range subs that could be powered by the stock system? If not mid-range, does anyone know of some 8" full-range speakers that could be substituted in there with the stock setup?

I would think 80 RMS per speaker would be too much for the stock amp? I remember seeing 25 Watts stamped on the stock 8" mids/subs, but I have no idea if that was RMS or peak power. |
