Thanks. PM sent

It looks like my car is missing the original Fiero amp, so I need to find an alternate aftermarket one that will work with the monsoon unit. Looks like the rest of the factory sub components are there.

When I added the factory subwoofer housing with the Rodney's upgraded subwoofer, I picked up a Kicker 100w mono amp with a build in low pass filter. It was small enough to mount under the dash in front of the driver side speaker.

I also ordered a "dealer option" kicker 100W amplifier that drives the subwoofer in the Jeep SRT8. It is a small amp with a built in low pass filter I will use it to drive the Tang Band sub.

Thanks Guru.

After all these years of being on PFF, I am still humbled by how many complete strangers take time an energy out of their day to help out someone who they will likely never meet.

Have a great weekend everyone
