Send me a PM. I'll sell it cheap, like $10 which is probably mostly shipping cost.

Sounds like someone had upgraded the sound system then almost returned it to stock.

well if the original owner did not remove it, you should have a stock amp on the driver side behind the trim and panel in the trunk. they all came with one.

I have Kicker free air subs in the window shelf. Had to cut out the openings bigger and use MDF spacers.



Trial fitting the amp board and amps. I designed it to have access to the spare.



Finished product.



I also installed JBL Power series 6.5" in the doors and rear side panels.

Yes, I did all the work myself. Since I'm an old fart... I don't need to make it so loud that my ears bleed and I don't need ghetto bass that will thump and rattle windows a block away. But, I think it sounds pretty good for a low budget system.

The 2 channel R-F amp and Kickers were recycled from my old Grand Prix and the 4 channel R-F amp was gathering dust, pulled from a past car I no longer have.

The subs are small and free air, so they don't hit as hard as subs that are in a sealed box or as low as 10" or 12" subs. But, they blend fine for me, 500X better than the stock crap.
