Ford's Amp

[kennyrcccg]

I just replace my Ford Sub in the rear of my E.B. Not sure if the factory amp is powerful enough to push my Sony 10" sub in the rear. I don't won't to put 2 subs in the rear just the one fords has, but I was looking to replace my factory amp, any suggestion on a replacment? Can I just buy a 100 watt amp run the wiring from the old amp to the sub?
Any suggestion would be great.

Well, what size amp you buy depends on what your new sony sub is rated at... i assume you either have a box or are planning on getting one built for the sony, since the stock sub wasn't a 10"... Nevermind, looks like its in there already... I don't think the stock amp will be enough but you never know... As for the wireing, is always better to run new wire for aftermarket stuff....

I picked up a Scosche amp wiring kit from Wal-Mart last month for $20 and it was for up-to a 400w amp. It came with 17' of 8 gauge power wire 4' of 8 gauge ground wire and 17' long RCA cable. It also had the ends for the ppower and ground cable. I thik the one for up to a 250w amp was around $15 and it included 15-20' of speaker wire and all the terminals fr paower, ground and speakers. The power and ground wire were 10 gauge on it.
The factory amp wire is around 14-16 gauge.
If you use to small of wire for the amp you could have an electrical fire due to to much amperage trying to flow through the small wire.

unless you get a really small amp, xtant has a very small, 100 or 200 watt amp, called the 1.1 I believe, I'd look into that as its very small and very effiecient....
