As per title, I wanna discuss about car amps... Currently I replaced my stock front door speakers rated at 25W to a pair of 140W coaxial speakers, driving a 2014 mazda 3, recently I was reminded that the malaysian model comes with an amp as well... hard to find details regarding it cause japan & US model using bose..

So having 140W coaxial in the front, 25W at the back and stock tweeters(which i can neglect), assuming i have a stock amp, what should i do now?

From my understanding, the stock amp should be underpowered (i can't find data regarding what amp or if my car even has an amp) hence causing clipping to my speakers... and also i dont get the same punchy bass as the stock :/
Is it ok for me to just add-on an amp to power the 140W speakers... assuming i already have a underpowered amp hidden somewhere


Or if i were to found that amp and have it replaced with another amp, is there such thing as an amp being able to support my current half baked set up...

Or would the clipping be fine? i doubt so.... cause i blast quite loud doh.gif

I would like to thank you all in advance for having the time to read and for any inputs which would be much appreciated even if its just a bump XD

i am not expert but your 140W coax is RMS? maybe you can state what is the brand and model speaker you are using so that Sifu in this section can help...

Not RMS, focal PS165F
