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?

Being able to handle a lot of watts doesn't mean it handles it well. Just like a car, stuffing a big engine with high horsepower doesn't mean it translates to a good car at the track. A speaker might be able to handle 100W RMS, but it won't handle it efficiently (meaning it will waste a lot of that energy instead of turning it into sound) or cleanly (poor reproduction).
Keep in mind paper isn't really a bad material from which to build speakers -- there's a reason why it's been used for so long. There's better, of course, but like many things there's good and bad versions of paper cones. |
