How many watts does the stock amp push out? I'm planning on change the sub but wanted to know if I can get by with the stock amp for now.

Thanks

 

The amp for the sub is 100 watts

 

100w dedicated amp. The speakers have their own.

 

buy a new amp and a sub. if u get a new sub with the stock amp the bass will still sound the same.

 

if you get a new sub and run it on the stock amp wouldnt you blow the stock amp....not only that it will sound like shit i would think

 

I disagree- It will not bump harder but will sound cleaner/less muddy. But it really is just better to take that POS out and run a seperate amp/sub.

 

is there anyway to change that stock amp. is seems like the stock sub is underpowered as well as the Bose speakers.

 

what is the size of the stock bose ?

 

I left the stock Bose speakers in cuz u really wont get an aftermarket set up that'll sound much better, for the money your gonna spend. Once you disconnect that stock sub and put a new one in your trunk with a new amp to push it you'll be like ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

I'm not buying new subs and amps so I won't be spending too much. The black market is my friend

 

i believe it is a 8 or 9 inch sub

 

Its a 9" sub, you cant replace it without getting one from Acura.

 

I didn't take my stock sub out, thats too much work, I just disconnected the wire when I put in an aftermarket sub/amp set up

 

Well I bought an 8" kicker from a member and he gave me a mount and dynamat for it. I'll try and hook it up tomorrow and see how it sounds.

 

I tried replacing the stock Bose sub with an 8in. MTX and using a different amp, it was a disaster. It sounded horrible, it was louder, but the whole rear deck started to rattle if you turned it up at all, not to mention, the Bose sub is a special type that doesn't require a sealed box, it's called free air or something. I would say go completely aftermarket with a sub and amp in the trunk in a sealed or bandpass box, the people at Acura designed the system the way they did for a reason.
